For more discussion of speaker placement and room acoustics. see “Fine-tuning your system" on page 34. Jewel Cube speaker locations Follow these guidelines to select locations that provide the maximum home theater effect from your Lilestyle' 50 system (Figures 2 and 3). Place each of the Jewel Cube speakers 8-12 inches (15—30 cm) from the surface behind them. CAUTION." Choose a stable and level surface to! your Jewel Cube speakers Vibration can cause the speakers to move. particularly on very smooth surfaces For stability, peel off the ( backing lrom the rubber feet arid center them in the matching shapes on the bottom of each speaker Left and right front speakers The sound from the left and right front speakers should seem to appear at the edge of the picture, so that the acoustic image is close to the size of the visual image (Figure 2). 1. Place them on line with the horizontal center of the TV screen. 2. Place each speaker up to 3 feet (1 m) from the edge of the TV screen. We recommend a maximum distance of 3 feet (1 in) so that the sound does not become too separated from the picture. You may Wish to vary this distance based on room condi- tions and personal preference. The front cables allow the cube speakers to be placed up to 20 feet (6.1 m) from the Acoustimass module. 3. Direct one cube of each speaker toward the center of the room (Figure 2). Direct the other cube toward a side wall to create reflected sound. (See the illustration of suggested reflected sound patterns in Figure 3.)

Your home theater can include many other combinations of equipment, including cable TV, Iaserdisc players CDI players. additional VCRs, and digital devices such as DVD players, digital TVs, satellite receivers. and some cable boxes. Note: A rnonc TV only serves as a display for the Video not as a source for the audio. In order for the Lifestyle‘ 50 system to provrde home theater effects. the program material must be in stereo or surround-encoded, and the device playing the material must be stereo. Look for the word “surround" on the tape, CD, or preceding the TV broadcast. To hear stereo or surround sound from encoded video tapes, you must have a stereo (H|Fi) VCR. Note: Line level outputs from most VCRS or laserdisc players are fixed If your VCR. Iaserdisc player or other Video sound source has fixed and variable outputs. use the fixed outputs Setting up the primary video sound source The Lifestyle‘ 50 system has two sets of video sound inputs (Figure 9) for your non—digital sources Connect your digital signal directly to the female RCA jack on the audio input cable. Connect the analog signal output from your digital sound source to the AUX inputs. If your Litestyle' system receives a valid digital signal (such as Dolby Digital or AC-S), this digital sound is used if no digital Signal is received, then your system selects the backup analog signal being sent to AUX, which is then processed by the Videostage‘ decoder for excellent home theater sound. Note: Your Lifestyle’50 system includes one 6-fcot {t B m) stereo cable to connect the right (Fl) and left (L) audio outputs from a component to the multirroom interface inputs. Cables may aiso be supplied With your components if needed audio cables are available at many electronics stores or call Bose‘ Most audio cables are color coded Match red connectors to right (Fl) jacks and black or white connectors to left (L) /acks There are three basic methods for setting up your home theater. It is easiest to use a stereo TV as the SWitching center to select the sound source. The next easlest option is to use a stereo VCR as the swnching center. The third option is to connect components directly to the Lifestyle’ 50 multi-room interface. and select the source from the Lifestyle; 50 remote or control panel. in each example. the analog outputs from the DVD player (or other digital device) are connected to the AUX inputs You may need extra long audio cables or exten- Sions for some of these connections rn n, : ‘ne mucus Lifertyie‘ 50 system Figure 1 1 Connecting components through your vcn { 1 ) To direct your video sound sources through your TV If your stereo TV has fixed audio outputs (the audio signal level doesn’t change), and it allows you to select the source of the signal (VCR.

Adjusting speaker controls The Litestyle' 50 system TREBLE and BASS controls are located on the Acoustimass‘ module (Figure 38). They allow you to adjust the treble (high frequencies) and bass (low frequencies). in the normal setting, the dots on each control are in the 12 o‘clock position.

Turn the controls clockWise to increase, and counterclockwise to decrease, the t amount or treble or bass. I Compensating for room acoustics , The acoustics (sound qualities) of your room can affect the overall sound quality of any ( speaker system. In general. you can reduce many problems with acoustics by the cautious use of the TREBLE and BASS controls. Too much or too little treble Rooms with too few sound-absorbing furnishings, especially those with bare lloors and walls. may sound overly shrill or “bright." Turning down the treble control (toward A) decreases treble sound, Rooms with a lot of soundfabsorbing furnishings, such as upholstered furniture, wall-to-wall carpet, or heavy drapes. may reduce the treble sound of your system. Moving speakers further away from soft furnishings increases treble. You can increase treble sound by slightly turning up the treble control (toward +). Too much or too little bass You can decrease bass sound by turning down the bass control (toward —). To increase bass, turn up the bass control (toward +). Acoustimass module placement affects the amount of bass you hear. Placing the module closer to the corner of the room increases bass. Moving the module away from the corner decreases bass, Compensating for movie soundtracks When a meme soundtrack is played in a motion picture theater. its bassis restored to the full level intended by the movie's sound designer To perform the same way in your home, your \ Lifestyle" 50 system restores the bass to this level when you select VIDEO 1 or 2. ln VlDEO, AUX, or TAPE modes, use the FILM BASS button to select between standard and lilm 4 (enhanced) bass.

These rooms are referred to as A, B, C, and D. Room A is the primary room, and must be used for connecting a one room system. If two or more rooms are connected to your system, the system provides the ROOM and HOUSE buttons on the personal music center display, and room letters (A, B, O, and/or D) are shown for the rooms that are connected, When you have two or more rooms connected, you can play the same or different sources in each room. To understand how these features work. please take a look at the following definitions: Shared source: When two or more rooms are listening to the same source, they are sharing this source It a source change is made (such as a radio station change), all rooms listening to this source hear the changed source, Linked rooms: When two or more rooms are linked, they function as if they were one room. If the volume is changed in one room, it is changed in all the linked rooms. Linked rooms share the same source, but shared sources are not necessarily linked. Keep in mind that there are limits to using different sources in different rooms. With one tuner, the system cannot play FM in one room and AM in another. Similarly, with one CD player, the system cannot play two different CDs at the same time. Using the ROOM button Use the ROOM button to select one or more rooms to control. - Pressing ROOM selects each of the connected rooms in alphabetical order. The display also shows if the room is off or which source is on, - If the room is shown with a box around the letter, you are currently controlling this room. - If a room is shown by a letter with no box around it, it is sharing a source with the con4 trolled room. - Following the sequence of individual rooms, groups of rooms with shared sources are shown with boxes around the letters, providing the opportunity for them to be controlled as linked rooms.
