ADDING SOUND TO ANOTHER ROOM (235/135/V35/V25 ONLY)  
Expanding your system  
Your LIFESTYLE® 235/135 or V35/V25 system can deliver Bose® quality sound in up to  
14 additional rooms in your home. Connecting a Bose link-compatible product to the  
Bose link OUT connector on the control console enables you to listen to a different  
sound source in other rooms. For example, a DVD movie can be playing in the main  
room while you listen to the AM/FM radio in the other room.  
For more information or to purchase additional products, contact your local Bose dealer.  
See the contact list included with your system.  
Note: This feature is not available on T20 and T10 systems, and systems sold in Japan.  
Expansion guidelines  
To set up a Bose link-compatible system in another room, follow the instructions  
included with the expansion product and be aware of the following:  
Bose link connections – Your system cannot operate with Bose link-enabled  
products connected to both the Bose link IN and Bose link OUT connectors at the  
same time.  
Room codes – The speaker system and the remote in your other room must be set to  
the same room code. See the owner’s guide that came with the Bose link product for  
information on setting room codes.  
House code – The house code is what enables the remote control in another room to  
communicate with the control console. If you set up a Bose link-enabled speaker  
system in another room, the remote used in that room must be set to the same house  
code that is stored in the control console.  
Your system is set to house code 15 at the factory. To see the house code, select  
Homewide in the UNIFY® menu and then select house code. On the screen, you will  
see the house code and a representation of how the second room remote control  
switches should be set to match the house code in the control console.  
Your system has two house code modes. The Standard mode provides 16 house  
codes and 16 room codes. If you live in a multi-unit dwelling, you can select the  
Alternative mode that provides 64 house codes and 4 room codes.  
Note: Switching between Standard and Alternative house code modes resets the house code to zero.  
Audio connections for a second room – To hear audio in another room from any  
device connected to HDMI input 1, 2, or 3, you must also make an analog audio  
connection between the device and the left (L) and right (R) analog connections for  
that input. Likewise, you must also make analog audio connections if a digital audio  
connection is made for input 4 or 5.  
Radio operation – Using an expansion room remote, you can select and control the  
radio that is built into the control console in the main room. However, if both rooms  
want to listen to the radio at the same time, they can only listen to the same station.
