14 January 4, 2002 AM262840_00_V.pdfSetting Up Your Lifestyle ® Stereo Amplifier Setting up the RC-5 remote control If your system uses a Model 5 music center, you need to set up a second RC-5 remote control to operate your Lifestyle® stereo amplifier. 1. Remove the remote control battery cover and locate the miniature switches (Figure 13). 2. Make sure that the house code settings (switches 1, 2, 3, and 4) match those in your first remote. 3. Slide switch 5 down (off) and 6 up (on). Note: Refer to your Lifestyle ® system owner’s guide for more information on operating your system in more than one room. Figure 13 RC-5 remote switch settings Connecting speakers to your Lifestyle® stereo amplifier CAUTION: DO NOT connect the amplifier to powered speakers of any make or model, nor to any amplified music sources. Doing so may cause damage to the equipment. Speaker cable consists of two insulated wires. One wire is usually marked (striped, collared, or ribbed), indi- cating that it should be connected to the positive (+ or red) terminal. The plain wire should always be con- nected to the negative (– or black) terminal. For recommended wire sizes and lengths, see “Wire recommendations” on page 18. •Connect the right speaker cable to the SPEAKER OUTPUT R terminals (Figure 14). Press the red terminal tab. Insert the wire coming from the speaker’s positive (+) terminal into the red jack and release the tab. Press the black terminal tab. Insert the wire coming from the speaker’s negative (–) terminal into the black jack and release the tab. •Connect the left speaker cable to the SPEAKER OUTPUT L terminals in the same way. Notice which speaker cable is connected to the L (left) output, and which is connected to the R (right) output on the back of the amplifier. Be sure that the speaker positioned on the left in the listening area (as you face it) attaches to the cable connected to the L output.

16 January 4, 2002 AM262840_00_V.pdf Maintaining Your Lifestyle® Stereo Amplifier Cleaning the amplifier The amplifier, which is designed only for indoor use, may become dusty over time. To clean the amplifier, use only a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the outside of the enclosure. Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives. Do not allow liquids to spill into any open- ings. Do not use any sprays near the amplifier. Protecting outdoor wiring Although some Bose® speakers are designed and tested to stand up to outdoor weather conditions, the bare ends of the speaker wire can be affected by exposure to the elements. This is especially true of salt water exposure. You may use a silicone caulking material, such as RTV adhesive, to protect speaker wire connections. It is commonly available at hardware stores. If you do use caulking, apply it only after the wires are connected and the knobs tightened down. Check the caulking annually, and re-apply as needed. Troubleshooting If you have a problem operating your Lifestyle® system after installing the Lifestyle® stereo amplifier, follow the guidelines below. For additional help, see the troubleshooting information in your system owner’s guide. If the problem still exists, contact your Bose dealer to arrange for service, or contact Bose Customer Ser- vice. Refer to the address list enclosed in the product packaging for correct phone numbers. Problem What to do Neither speaker plays• Make sure the Lifestyle ® music center and the amplifier are plugged in and turned on. • Make sure the plugs are inserted fully and the outlets are in working order. • Be sure a music source is selected (AM, FM, CD, AUX, etc.). If CD or AUX is selected, check to be sure there is a CD in the player or the source connected to AUX is turned on. • If using a Model 20 music center, make sure the audio input cable is inserted into SPEAKER ZONE 2. • If using a Model 5 music center for home theater (Lifestyle ® 12 or Lifestyle® 8 sys- tems), make sure the amplifier audio input cable is plugged into the FIXED OUTPUTs on the music center. (Then the speaker output cable to the Acoustimass ® module should be connected to the piggyback jacks on the audio input cable.) • Disconnect any headphones. • Make sure the remote control switch settings are correct. Only one speaker plays• Check the wires connected to the speaker that does not play. • Make sure the wires are in good condition and are firmly connected at both ends. • See “Connecting speakers to your Lifestyle ® stereo amplifier” on page 14.
AM262840_00_V.pdf January 4, 2002 17Maintaining Your Lifestyle ® Stereo Amplifier Customer service For additional help in solving problems, contact Bose® Customer Service. Refer to the address list enclosed in the product packaging for correct phone numbers. Warranty period The Lifestyle® stereo amplifier is covered by the Bose limited one-year transferable warranty. Details of the coverage are provided on the warranty card that came with the product. Please fill out the information sec- tion of the card and mail it to Bose.One speaker still does not play• Disconnect the wires from that speaker and the amplifier. Disconnect the other cable from its speaker, and connect that end of the cable to the speaker that does not play. If the speaker still does not play, the problem is in the speaker. If the speaker now plays, continue checking for the source of the problem. • Disconnect the same cable from the amplifier. Connect it to the other outputs on the amplifier. If the speaker plays, the problem is in the original cable that was connected to that speaker. If the speaker does not play, the problem is in that channel of the amplifier. Right and left stereo channels are heard on the wrong speak- ers.• Check the speaker cable connections to be sure the cable connected to the SPEAKER OUTPUTS L at the amplifier are connected at the other end to the speaker on the left in your listening area. • Check the speaker cable connections to be sure the cable connected to the SPEAKER OUTPUTS R at the amplifier are connected at the other end to the speaker on the right in your listening area. Bass or treble is weak• Check the speaker wire connections. Make sure the wires are connected + to + and – to –. • See “Connecting speakers to your Lifestyle ® stereo amplifier” on page 14. Interference • Make sure the speaker wires are firmly inserted in the terminals on the back of the speaker and on the amplifier rear panel. Check to be sure no wires are touching across terminals. • See “Connecting speakers to your Lifestyle ® stereo amplifier” on page 14. Remote does not adjust the volume• Be sure the 1/8” mini-plug is firmly inserted in the SYSTEM CONTROL 2 jack. • If you are using an RC-20 or RC-5 remote control, make sure the remote control switch settings are correct. Volume suddenly decreases• Lower the volume setting to see if the level returns to normal. If so, the sudden loss of volume was an intentional action of the amplifier’s overload protection feature. This engages automatically if the volume is set too high and is overdriving the speakers. Choosing a lower setting should ensure continuous, even volume. Zone 2 does not work at all• If you are using a Lifestyle ® DVD system, the stereo amplifier will not work unless “Zone 2 Protocol” in the system settings menu is set to “Legacy”. For more informa- tion, consult your Lifestyle ® DVD system’s owners guide. Problem What to do
