Setting Up Your Lifestyle® Stereo Amplifier
Selecting a location for your Lifestyle® stereo amplifier
Your Lifestyle® stereo amplifier does not need to be situated close to either your Lifestyle®
system or the accessory speakers. Consider the following guidelines when selecting a
location for your amplifier.
CAUTION: DO NOT mount the amplifier on surfaces that are not sturdy enough, or that have
hazards concealed behind them, such as electrical wiring or plumbing.
CAUTION: The amplifier must be used indoors. It is neither designed nor tested for use out-
doors, in recreational vehicles, or on boats.
• Locate the amplifier indoors and within 8 feet (2.5 m) of a power outlet.
• Make sure that the amplifier is located within the reach of the supplied 20-foot audio input
cable.
• Place the amplifier in an area where the maximum ambient temperature is less than 104°F
(45°C).
• For optimum performance, place the amplifier in a well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT place the amplifier in a completely enclosed area. If adequate ventilation is not
provided, the amplifier will automatically protect itself by reducing its volume level in order
to limit its temperature.
• DO NOT place the amplifier on any heat-sensitive surface, such as the finished surface of
fine furniture. Like all electrical equipment, it generates some heat.
• DO NOT use the amplifier in a damp location. It is important to prevent moisture from
getting into the unit.

• When placing the amplifier on a horizontal surface like a floor or shelf, the amplifier’s rubber
feet provide stability and prevent scratches.
• ONLY when mounting the amplifier on a wall, remove the rubber feet and use the existing
guide holes in the amplifier’s enclosure for mounting hardware. See Figure 4 for recom-
mended mounting methods and hardware.
• When mounting the amplifier vertically or horizontally on a wall, ALWAYS mount the
amplifier in an orientation shown in Figure 3.

Setting Up Advanced Features
Amplifier mode switches
The advanced features of the Lifestyle® stereo amplifier are set up using microswitches A, B,
and C (Figure 21). The SA-3 has all three switches, but the SA-2 has only switch C.
Figure 21
SA-2 and SA-3
microswitches
Stereo or mono output (SA-3 only)
The output of the SA-3 amplifier can be set to stereo (switch A up – factory setting) or mono
(switch A down). The mono output mode feeds left and right channel audio to both the left
and right outputs. This mode is useful in situations where a stereo output isn’t feasible such
as when outdoor speakers are used in a large area.
Automatic detection of a local source (SA-3 only)
When a source is connected to the AUX INPUT jacks, you can set the amplifier to detect
when that source is turned on, thereby automatically switching the amplifier from standby
to on.
The amplifier is shipped with this feature turned off. For local source automatic detection, set
switch B up.
Single and supplemental amplifiers
If you want to cover a large area, such as an outdoor patio, requiring more than one set of
speakers, you can install additional amplifiers. See the setup for room C in “Setup guidelines
for additional rooms” on page 23.
• Leave switch C down (factory setting – single amp mode) on one amplifier and set switch C
up (supplemental amp mode) on all other amplifiers.
• Set the room code in all amplifiers to the same room code as in the remote control.
• Now, you can turn them all on and off, change their volumes, or mute them together using a
single remote control.

Maintaining Your Lifestyle® Stereo Amplifier
Cleaning the amplifier
CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning.
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. You
may use a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to clean the hard-to-reach areas. DO NOT
use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives.
Protecting outdoor wiring
Although some Bose® speakers are designed and tested to stand up to outdoor weather con-
ditions, 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 con-
nections. 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 Service. Refer to the address list enclosed in the prod-
uct packaging for correct phone numbers.
Problem What to do
Neither speaker
plays • Make sure the Lifestyle® media/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 systems), make sure the
amplifier audio input cable is plugged into the FIXED OUTPUT jacks 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 21.
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 prob-
lem 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.

Limited warranty
The Lifestyle® stereo amplifier is covered by the Bose limited one-year transferable warranty.

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 21.
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 21.
Remote does not
adjust the volume • Be sure the 1/8 in (3.5 mm) mini-plug is firmly inserted in the SYSTEM CONTROL 2 jack (Model 5 music
center only).
• If you are using an RC-20 or RC-5 remote control, make sure the remote control switch settings are correct.
• If you are using a local volume control (VCA), turn it to the off position.
Volume
suddenly decreases • Lower the volume setting to see if the level returns to normal. If so, the sudden loss of volume was an inten-
tional 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 information, consult your Lifestyle® DVD system’s
owners guide.
