Audio Delay
(not available on 
FM·AM) 2
(0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Corrects for delays that can be introduced by video 
processing within an external device such as your TV. Video 
processing delays cause the video and audio to lose their 
synchronization. This
 condition is most noticeable with 
spoken portions of program material. If you notice that 
people on the TV finish senten ces before they finish moving 
their lips, use the Audio Delay menu item to correct this 
condition.
Movie EQ
(not available on 
FM·AM) Off
(On) (In the System menu, Audio Processing must be set to User 
Adjustable.) Corrects for sonic differences between a full-
size movie theater and your home theater when a Dolby 
Digital movie soundtrack is playing.
Range 
Compression
(not available on 
FM·AM)On
(Off) (In the System menu, Audio Processing must be set to User 
Adjustable.) Reduces the difference between the quietest 
and loudest sounds on a movie soundtrack. Some movie 
soundtracks present a significant difference in volume 
between the quietest and loudest sounds. The difference 
between a soft voice and a sudden loud explosion can be 
quite startling. Late at night, or at other quiet times, those 
kinds of effects could be undesirable. Range Compression 
moderates those effects.
Mono 
Decoding
(not available on 
FM·AM)
On
(Off) (In the System menu, Audio Processing must be set to User 
Adjustable.) When only one (mon
o) channel of audio is input, 
Mono Decoding engages Videostage
® decoding to produce 
sound from the selected (2, 3, or 5) speakers.

System maintenance
Changing the remote control batteries is the only 
regular maintenance required. 
However, switches inside the remote battery case can 
be changed. Similar changes may be required for any 
additional remotes purchased for use in other rooms. 
Note: For further information on switch settings refer to 
“Changing remote control switch settings” on page 51.
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-LR 3 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 remote control switch 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 the following steps:
1. Open the remote control battery cover and locate 
the miniature switches (Figure 18 on page 52).
2. Move one or more of switches 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the  opposite direction from it s current setting. Use a 
paper clip, ballpoint pe n, or similar object.
Note: DO NOT change any other switch settings. 
Moving other switches may disable your remote control.
3. Replace the battery cover.
4. With the system off, press and hold the  Mute 
button on the display. 
The system remains off, but the current house 
code appears on the display in the form of four 
rectangles, which represent the positions of 
switches 1 through 4:
5. While still holding the  Mute button on the display, 
press any button on the remote control.  The new house code you set in step 2 shows on 
the display. 
6. Release the display  Mute button. The system 
remains off.
7. 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 through 6.Note: To verify your system’s house code, press 
the  Mute  button on the display  while the system is off. 
The display confirms the settings of switches 1-4.
HOUSE CODE:
Switches 1 - 4 down = 0 0 0 0 (current house code)
NEW HOUSE CODE:
(Switch 1 up, 2 down, 3 up, and 4 down = 1 0 1 0) 
(new house code)

Setting up a second room with 
sound
Your Lifestyle® home theater system can direct sound 
to more than one room at the same time. What’s more, 
it can direct the audio from two different sound sources 
(such as AM/FM tuner, DVD, or AUX) to these rooms 
through two independent audio streams.
In additional rooms where you have speakers (beyond 
the main room where the media center is located), you 
can choose to listen to either of the two audio streams. 
So, when music is playing in  the main room, listeners 
in other rooms can enjoy that same music or an entirely 
different audio source fr om the system, for true 
independence.
Capable of supplying up to 14 additional rooms with 
Bose
® quality sound, one Lifestyle® system can fill your 
entire living space with music.
Bose® link-compatible products make it easy
As an option to provide sound throughout your home 
(or even outdoors), the Bose® link network connects all 
the pieces and offers a variety of Bose products of 
consistent quality for use in other rooms.
These include: the Bose
® link AL8 homewide wireless 
audio link, the Wave®®GS , 
 GSX systems, the Lifestyle® RoomMate® 
powered speaker system, and other unpowered 
speakers for indoors or out. We also offer amplifiers of 
different power ratings, pl us the proper cables and 
adapters to connect it all together. 
With the purchase of a Bose
® link remote control for 
each additional room, managing your whole-house 
music system becomes quick and easy. It’s a simple 
matter to preset each remote  for the room where it will 
be used and for the audio stream you want it to receive.

For added versatility, you ma y prefer using a Personal
® 
music center II to control the sound in your other 
rooms. Besides providing th e ability to switch between 
program streams instantly, this advanced remote pro-
vides an LCD screen that shows you what is currently 
playing and what other listening options you have.
Regardless of which options you choose, each Bose
® 
link-compatible product includes detailed instructions 
for adding it to your Lifestyle
® V-Class® home theater 
system. 
For more information on your options, or to purchase 
additional equipment, contact your local Bose dealer. 
Or, to reach Bose directly, refer to the address list 
included with your system.
Bose® link remote switch settings
These settings apply only to remote controls with battery 
compartment switches. 
 House code switches (1, 2, 3, and 4) must match 
those on your main remote.
 Consider your choices for Switch 5:  Change the switch so the expansion room shares the 
audio stream heard in the main room (A).
Leave the switch unchanged, so the expansion room 
receives a different audio stream from the main room (A).
 Room code switches (6, 7, 8, and 9) must be unique  to each new remote, unless for use in the main room 
(A) along with the primary remote.
