AM252876_03_V.pdf October 22, 2001 29 Adding speakers Your Lifestyle® 8 system provides high quality audio for a single listening area. However, your music center also provides connections (SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B) for adding a pair of powered speakers in a second room. In the second room, you can listen to the sound source that is playing in the main room. You can purchase an additional remote control to keep in the second room. Keep the following considerations in mind if you choose to connect secondary speakers. Using speakers connected to the B outputs: •You must use a second remote control, set to B (see instructions below), to turn on the B speakers. •Adjusting volume with this second remote adjusts volume for only the B speakers. •Using the mute key on the second remote mutes or unmutes the second room speakers. Using speakers connected to the A outputs: •The music center controls operate speakers connected to FIXED and A outputs. •Adjusting volume from the music center control panel or with the remote control that came with the system adjusts volume for speakers connected to FIXED and A outputs. •Using the mute key on the main remote mutes or unmutes speakers connected to FIXED and A outputs. Setting a second remote for additional speakers You need a second remote control, set to B, to operate speakers connected to the SPEAKERS B outputs. When you purchase a second remote control, it is shipped set to A, to control your main speakers. It will also control secondary speakers connected to SPEAKERS A. To set your second remote to control speakers connected to B, follow these steps: 1. Open the remote control battery cover. 2. Locate miniature switch 5. Slide the switch down (Figure 22). 3. Locate miniature switch 6. Slide the switch up (Figure 22). 4. Make sure that the house code switches match those on your first remote (see page 28). 5. Replace the battery cover on the remote control. Note: Switches 7 and 8 are not for current system use.

32 October 22, 2001 AM252876_03_V.pdf Maintaining Your Lifestyle® 8 System Taking care of your Lifestyle® 8 system The only maintenance needed is cleaning the system and your compact discs, and replacing remote control batteries. For information on replacing the remote control batteries see “Installing the batteries in the remote control” on page 17. Handling CDs Handle discs by their edges to prevent fingerprints and scratches (Figure 23). To remove stains or fingerprints from the surface of a disc, use a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Wipe in straight movements from the center of the disc to the outside (Figure 24). Do not use any chemical products; they can damage the disc. Do not write on or attach labels to the surface of the disc. To minimize exposure to dust and dirt, replace discs in their cases after use. Store each disc in its case, out of direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity. Cleaning the music center Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the outside of the music center. Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives. Do not allow liquids to spill into any openings. Do not use any sprays near the system. Cleaning the speakers Clean the surface of your speakers with a soft, damp cloth. You can use an ammonia-free window cleaner on a soft cloth to maintain the finish. Do not use any sprays near the system. Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives. Do not allow liquids to spill into any openings. The speaker grille panels require no special care, although you may vacuum them carefully, if necessary. CAUTION: If liquids get into the product, turn the system off and allow it to air dry. Then turn it on again. If you notice any problems with its functioning, turn it off and contact Bose® customer service. Figure 24 Cleaning a CD Figure 23 Handling a CD
