Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing a Bose® LIFESTYLE® DVD home entertainment system. Through
proprietary Bose technologies and innovative LIFESTYLE® systems design, this elegant and
easy-to-use system delivers superior performance for both music and video programming.
Types of discs you can play
The system can play the following types of discs having the corresponding logos:
• Video DVDs
• DVD-Rs or DVD-R/Ws
• Video CDs (VCDs)
• Audio CDs
• CD-Rs or CD-R/Ws
• MP3 CDs that meet the following criteria:
All tracks are burned in a single, closed session and in ISO9660 disc format. Each file name
has an “.mp3” extension and no other periods. The file tag is no higher than ID3 (ID3v2).
Check for region number compatibility
For any DVD player and DVD disc to be compatible, their region numbers must match.
These numbers are assigned according to where the player and disc are sold.
Check the region number on the bottom of the media center included with your
system. Then be sure to choose only DVD discs that show the same region
number on the disc label or packaging. For example, a Region 1 DVD and
corresponding player should display the mark shown on the right.
Glossary of audio terms
Aspect ratio – The shape of the rectangular picture in a TV set expressed as the width of the
picture relative to the height. For example, if a TV picture has an aspect ratio of 4:3 (read as 4
by 3), the shape of that picture is 4 units wide by 3 units high. The two standard TV aspect
ratios are 4:3 and 16:9.
Chapter – A main division of contents in a DVD title.
Component video – A video signal split into three parts: luminance and two color signals
(marked as YPbPr). It provides the highest resolution video, but cannot be processed by all
television sets.
Composite video – A video signal in which the brightness (black and white) and color infor-
mation are combined. Compatible with most televisions and other video components, com-
posite video cables use RCA jacks.
Dolby Digital – A perceptual coding system for audio, developed by Dolby Laboratories and
accepted as an international standard. Dolby Digital is the most common means of encoding
multi-channel audio.
– The logo representing Dolby Digital.

Introduction
DTS – An abbreviation for Digital Theater Systems, a type of multi-channel surround sound
format used on certain CDs and many DVDs.
– The logo representing Digital Theater Systems.
DVD – An abbreviation most commonly known to mean Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile
Disc. The audio/video/data storage system is based on 12-cm optical discs.
DVD video – A standard for storing and reproducing audio and video on DVD-ROM discs,
based on MPEG video, Dolby Digital audio, and other proprietary data formats.
IR – An abbreviation for infrared. Pertains to the type of remote that sends/receives com-
mands on an infrared light beam.
Letterbox – A video format which has an aspect ratio wider than 4:3 and is shown with black
bars above and below the TV picture.
MP3 – MPEG-1 Layer III audio. This is a compressed audio format that allows the recording
of many hours of music on a single CD.
NTSC – An abbreviation for National Television System Committee and a label for the video
format standard established by the committee for televisions used in the US and other
countries.
PAL – An acronym for the Phase Alternate Line video format used extensively in Western
Europe.
Pan & Scan – The technique of reframing a picture to conform to a different aspect ratio by
cropping parts of the picture. DVD video players can use the horizontal offset encoded with
the video on certain DVDs to automatically pan and scan widescreen video to a 4:3 ratio.
PCM – An abbreviation for Pulse Code Modulation. A common form of digital audio signal.
Progressive Scan – A video format which displays all lines of the picture frame in a single
pass, and refreshes the image sixty times a second. This format is not compatible with all
video displays.
RDS – A system that displays radio broadcast station and programming information. This
feature is available on European systems only.
SACD – An abbreviation for Super Audio Compact Disc and a music format for CD audio and
high-resolution digital audio stored on a CD-sized disc. The new Bose® LIFESTYLE® systems
(with which this guide is included) play the CD-compatible portion of such discs, identified by
the CD disc logo on the front of the disc.
SCMS – A system for preventing second-generation digital copies of copyrighted audio
material. A digital recorder equipped with SCMS will record digitally from another source, but
that recording cannot then be used as a source for a second-generation recording.
S-video – Also called Y/C. A video signal that keeps the brightness and color information
separate, and is significantly better than composite video. Requires the use of an S-video
cable and is compatible with many televisions and other video components.
Videostage® 5 – Bose® proprietary Videostage 5 decoding circuitry gives you a five-channel
surround sound experience from everything you listen to – VHS tapes, stereo CDs, even
mono TV programs.
YPbPr – An analog video signal containing one luminance and two chrominance compo-
nents. Also referred to as YUV or Y, B-Y, R-Y or a component connection.

If the remote does not work as you expect

change batteries. For information on the type of batteries to use and how to change them,
refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 41.
In some buildings, you may experience “dead spots” where the remote control will not
operate effectively. If this happens, move the remote a foot or two and try again. Also make
sure the cord that connects the power supply to the media center (and contains the remote
antenna) is stretched to its full length. If these efforts do not work, move the media center a
few feet to a location where it provides a better response.
If the batteries are fine and the suggestions concerning “dead spots” above do not work, you
may need an antenna extender. To contact Bose® customer service to request one, refer to
the address list included with the system.

System Operation
Making it all work together smoothly
By pressing any source button on the LIFESTYLE® remote control, you can turn on the sys-
tem and select that source at the same time. Or, press the On/Off button on the remote control
or on the media center control panel. This turns the system on to the source that was last
used.
To use the system with your TV and other components, review the reminders below. They are
provided to help ensure that it all works together smoothly.
Note: For information on how to set the remote to operate other components, refer to “Using
your LIFESTYLE® remote with other components” on page 18.
To turn on other components
You need to:
1.Turn on the system.
2. Select the source.
3. Turn the source on (if it is an external component).
You can use your LIFESTYLE® remote control to do all of that, once you have set it to operate
the TV and other components.
To watch video
Your installation choices may require some activation settings, as indicated below.
• Getting the image to the TV screen:
– Be sure to select the proper Video input on your TV (consistent with the video input that
the media center connects to on the back of the TV). Use the TV Input button on the
LIFESTYLE® remote control.
• Using the component video connection option:
– If you have a component video connection between the TV and the media center, be
sure to make that selection on the display of the media center. Until you do, you may

Controlling External Sources
Using your LIFESTYLE® remote with other components
You can control most brands of external components, such as TVs, VCRs, and cable/satellite
boxes, using your LIFESTYLE® remote control. You can also designate one of these compo-
nents as the video tuner (channel selector) for all, to further simplify operation.
Your LIFESTYLE® system includes an infrared (IR) emitter that sends out signals from the front
of the music center to any component that your LIFESTYLE® remote is set to control. This
allows you to turn on other sources in the room and make basic selections from them,
whether they are connected to the media center or to the TV.
Note: If a component is located where it cannot receive these IR signals, you can use the
supplied IR emitter cable with that component. For tips on getting the IR signals where they need
to go, or using the optional emitter, see “Connecting the optional IR emitter cable” in your Instal-
lation Guide.
For TV control
Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE® System menu, refer to “Using System
Menus” on page 29.
Use the TV remote to turn on the TV. Be sure to select the Video input on the TV for the media
center.
Then, using the LIFESTYLE® remote control:
1. Press the TV button to select the TV source.
2. Press the System button. The System menu will appear on the TV screen (Figure 4).

*For the Automatic feature to work effectively with North American TV models, the optional
TV sensor must be installed and positioned to detect if the TV is on or off. In Europe, a
SCART connector serves this purpose. If you do not use a SCART connector, or the TV sen-
sor is not positioned properly, the automatic feature is not an option. In that case, leave the
TV power set to Manual. This means you must turn your TV on using its power button or with
the LIFESTYLE® remote (when it is set to do so).

For cable/satellite control
While you can set the LIFESTYLE® remote to control both cable and satellite boxes, you must
designate one or the other, not both, in the steps below.
The one connected to the CBL-SAT input on your media center is the one you should desig-
nate. So when you press the CBL-SAT source button and the On/Off button below it, you are oper-
ating that device.

button two more times.*
• When you have chosen the right code, press the Enter button.
• Press the System or Exit button to leave the System menu.

Changing Source Settings
Making adjustments to a particular source
While watching a video or listening to music on your system, you can make quick adjust-
ments that will increase your enjoyment of the program. For example, you may want to hear
more or fewer of the system speakers playing, or boost the center channel volume slightly.
For this purpose, each source you use with this system has its own Settings menu, with
features appropriate to that source.
With a little experience, moving about and selecting options in the Settings menu for each
source becomes second nature. Just try it and see.
How to see your options
To see the settings, you must first select the source. Then, on the LIFESTYLE® remote control,
press the Settings button to enter the menu.
You can view the Settings menu for each source on your TV screen or, for audio sources only,
on the display panel of your media center.
If your source is the FM radio tuner, the setting options appear on the media center display
(Figure 8). The choices scroll into view as you press the down button on the remote.

Making system adjustments
Adjustments to system properties are typically made only once. If your system operates as
you want it to, there may be no need for any changes. In some cases, however, changes are
required to make the system fully compatible with the installation options you have chosen.
Using a component video connection is one example.
How to see the System menu
The System menu appears on the TV screen only, not on the media center display. To see
the menu, you must have the TV turned on and the Video input on the TV set for the media
center.
Then, press the System button on the LIFESTYLE® remote control. The menu appears with
Audio selected, showing a preview of the Audio features.
.
Note: Entering the System menu causes any DVD or VCD that is playing to pause.

Remote control maintenance
Changing the batteries as needed is the only regular maintenance required. However, the
switches inside the remote battery case may be changed, as needed. Additional remotes for
use in other rooms may need their switches changed, too. For that, refer to “Bose® link
remote switch settings” on page 39.
Replacing the remote control batteries
Replace all four batteries when the remote control stops operating or its range seems
reduced. Alkaline batteries are recommended.
1. Slide open the battery compartment on the back of the remote (Figure 17).
2. Insert four AAA or IEC-LR3 1.5V batteries, or the equivalent, as shown. Match the +
and – symbols on the batteries with the + and – markings inside the compartment.
3. Slide the battery compartment cover back into place.

Changing house code settings
Each LIFESTYLE® remote control uses a house code that corresponds to the house code set
in the media center, enabling the two to communicate. If another LIFESTYLE® system nearby
creates a conflict with your system, you can easily set a new house code in your media center
and its remote control(s) with steps that follow.
Using the remote control:
1. Open the remote control battery cover and locate the miniature switches (Figure 18 on
page 38).
2. Move one or more of switches 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the opposite direction from its current
setting. Use a paper clip, ball point pen, or similar object.
Note: DO NOT change any other switch settings. Moving other switches may disable your
remote control.
3. Replace the battery cover.

Using the media center:
1. Lift the media center door and press the All Off button.
2. Press and hold the Store button. Your current house code will appear in the media center
display window in the form of four rectangles, which represent the positions of switches
1 through 4:
HOUSE CODE:
Switches 1 - 4 down = 0 0 0 0 (current house code)
3. While holding the Store button, press any button on the remote control.

new code:
NEW HOUSE CODE:

4. Release the Store button. The system remains off.
5. If you have additional remote controls, change the switches to match those of the first
remote control by following steps 1-3 above. You do not need to repeat steps 4-8.
Note: To verify your system’s house code, press Store while the system is off. The display con-
firms the settings of switches 1-4.

Setting up a second room with sound
Your LIFESTYLE® DVD home entertainment system can direct sound to more than one room
at the same time. What’s more, it can even direct sound from two different sound sources
(such as CD, AM/FM tuner, TAPE, or AUX) to these rooms through two independent
“streams.”
In other rooms with speakers (beyond the main room where the media center is located), you
can choose either of these streams from different sources, for true independence. If the sys-
tem is on in the main room, listeners in other rooms can enjoy the same program playing
there or an entirely different program.
Capable of supplying up to 14 addiitonal rooms with Bose sound, one LIFESTYLE® system
can fill your entire living space with music.

Bose link: the key to assured compatibility
One option is using a Bose product you already own, if you want the sound in just one addi-
tional room.
As a second option that can provide sound throughout your home (or even outside!), the
Bose® link network connects all the pieces and offers a variety of Bose products of consistent
quality for use in the other rooms.
These include smaller Bose systems, powered and unpowered speakers and amplifiers,
plus the proper cables and adapters to complete your sound network. And by purchasing a
Bose® link remote control for each additional room, managing your whole-house music
system becomes quick and easy. Inside these remotes, one small switch allows you to
predetermine which rooms, as a group, will share the main room program stream and which
other room or group of rooms will hear the alternate stream.
For more versatility, you may prefer using a PERSONAL® music center II remote control in
your other rooms. Besides providing the ability to switch between program streams without
setting switches, this advanced remote provides an LCD screen that shows you what is play-
ing on both steams. So it is very easy to choose one or the other whenever you like.
Regardless of which type you choose, with any Bose® link remote control you also get
detailed instructions on using the network. And a Bose® link symbol on the cartons (for the
products mentioned above) helps simplify your selections.
For more information on your choices, or to purchase additional equipment, contact your
local Bose dealer. Or, to reach Bose directly, refer to the address list included with
the system.
