Selecting the locations for your Lifestyle’ 50 system
when you place your speakers according to the guidelines below. a combination of reflected
and direct sound provides the audio atmosphere of a home theater. You may experiment with
the placement and orientation of the Jewel Cube' speakers and Acoustimass‘ module to
produce sound most pleasing to you. For the best surround effect. adjust the speakers so
you cannot identify the exact sound source. It is preferable not to aim the cubes directly at
the listener. 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 Lifestyle‘ 50 system (Figures 2 and 3). Place each of the Jewel Cube speakers 6—12
inches (15-30 cm) from the surface behind them.
CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your Jewel Cube speakers. Vibration can
cause the speakers to move, particularly on very smooth surfaces, For stability, peel off the
backing from the rubber feet and center them in the matching shapes on the bottom of each
speaker
Left and right front speakers
The sound from the Ielt and right front speakers should seem to appear at the edge of the
picture, so that the acoustic Image Is close to the size 0! 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 maxlmum distance of 3 leet (1 m) so that the sound does not become
too separated trom the picture. You may wish to vary this distance based on room condi-
tlons 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.)
Note: The Jewel Cube speakers are magnet/Cally shielded so you can place them close to
the TV withoutaffecting p/clure quality

The sound item the center speaker should appear to come dlrectty from the center of the
picture (Figure 2). The center cable allows the center speaker to be placed up to 20 feet
(6,1 m) from the Acoustimass module.
Note: Do not place the speaker on its side, as this diminishes performance by blocking the
Jewel Cube ports,
1. Place the speaker on line with the vertical center of the screen, above or below (which-
ever is closer to the screen), or the closest convenient location.
2. Place the speaker in line with the front of the screen (not pushed to the back of the TV).
3. Direct each of the cubes slightly away from center, to create a wider area of direct sound
(Flgure 3).
Note.- If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front
edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the
sound. This effect is minimized it the shelves are filled with books.
Lett tront
Surround speakers
The surround (rear) speakers create an area of sound around the listener. Place them in the
back hall of your room. Direct the cubes so that you do not pinpoint the exact location of the
sound source (Figure 3). The surround cables allow the speakers to be placed up to 50 feet
(15.2 m) from the Acousttmass‘ module.

end of the room as the front speakers (see the example along the front wall in Figure 3).
2. Select a convenient location — under a table. behind a sofa, Do not allow furniture or
drapes to block the ventilatlon openings of the module.
3. Place the Acoustimass module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and
an AC power (mains) outlet.
4. Select a position for the Acoustimass module (Figure 4). For proper ventilation, place it on
the long edge, with the connectors facing the floor. An alternate position is on its largest
side, with the bass and treble controls facing up. Do not place the module on either end,
as shown by the last two views in Figure 4.
Preferred
position
5. Once you have selected a position for the module, place the tour self-adhesive rubber feet
near the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased stability and
protection from scratches.
6. Aim the port (the round opening) into the room or along the wall to avoid blocking the port
or creating too much bass.
7. For best bass performance, do not place the port at equal distances from any two walls or
from a wall and the ceiling.
CAUTION: Do not cover the ventilation openings of the Acoustrmass module. The slots on
the end prowde ventilation for the burll-rn electronic circuitry, and should not be blocked.
CD changer
Select a convenient location for the CD changer.
CAUTION: Be sure the three shipping screws on the bottom of the CD'changer have been
removed before proceeding.
1. Place the CD changer on a level surface. Allow enough room to lift the door
2. Place the CD changer close enough to the multi-room interface to allow for cable length of
6 feet (2 m).
Mum-room interface
Select a location for the multi-room interface. You can place it in an out-of—sight location.
1. Place the multi~roorn interface within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustlmass module (the
length of the audio input cable).
2. Place the multi-rcom interface close enough to the sound sources (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.) to
allow for cable length. If you need additional audio and/or video cables to connect all of
your components, see your dealer or call Bose‘ Product Support.

Note: A mono TV only serves as a display for the video, not as a source for the audio.
In order for the Lifestyle‘ 50 system to provide home theater efleots. the program material
must be in stereo or sunound»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 (HiFi) VCR.
More: Line level outputs from most VCFls or laserdtsc players are fixed. it your VCR, laserdisc
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
Liiestyle' system receives a valid digital signal (such as Dolby Digital or AC-3), this digital
sound is used. If no digital signal is received, then your system selects the backup analog
signal being sent to AUX, whlch is then processed by the Videostage' decoder tor excellent

electronics stores, or call Bose“. Most audio cables are color coded. Match red connectors to
right (Ft) jacks and black or white connectors to left (L) jacks
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 easiest option Is to use a
stereo VCR as the switching center. The third option is to connect components directly to the
Lifestyle“ 50 muItI-room interface. and select the source from the Litestyle' 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»
signs for some of these connections.

through your VCR
{1 ) To direct your video sound source: through your TV
If your stereo TV has tixed audio outputs (the audio signal level doesn't change), and it allows
you to select the source of the signal (VCR. DVD, cable. etc):
- Connect your DVD player L and R outputs to the AUX inputs oi the intertace.
- Connect the digital output from your DVD player to the female RCA connection on the
audio input cable using a male-to-male RCA cable.
- Connect your home theater components (VCR, cable box, etc.) to the appropriate TV
inputs. (See Figure 10.)
0 Connect the fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO 1 INPUTs of the interface.
0 Turn the TV speakers oif or the volume all the way down (If there is an intemaVexternal
speakers switch, select external speakers Do not connect any speakers to the TV.)
- Turn off any special TV settings such as expanded stereo, mega~bass, phantom, SAP,
These settings prevent the proper processing oi the surround sound through your
Lifestyle system.
- Set the TV balance control to the center of the dial or range.
- Set tone controls to flat or the middle position (neutral).
- Set TV to the stereo position.
J’ Note: If necessary, as a second choice, you can use var/able audio outputs from your stereo

(2) To direct your video sound sources through your VCR
If your TV is not a stereo model, or does not have the appropriate outputs, connect your
stereo VCR to the multi»room interface. Use the VCR as a tuner and to select other con-
nected sound sources (See Figure 11.)
0 Connect your DVD player L and R outputs to the AUX inputs of the interface.
- Connect the digital output from your DVD player to the female RCA connection on the
audio input cable using a male-to-male RCA cable. ,
0 Connect your home theater components to the appropriate VCR inputs.
- Connect the VCR video signal to the TV through VIDEO IN or composite video input. You
can also use the RF or antenna input.
0 Turn the TV speakers off or the volume all the way down. (If there is an intemaI/extemat
speakers switch, select external speakers. Do not connect any speakers to the TV.)
- Connect the VCR fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO 1 INPUTs of the mutti-room interface.
J’ Mole.- To ensure proper stereo or surround sound, connect the L and R audio outputs from
your stereo VCR directly to your interface L and R VIDEO 1 inputs, as shown in Figure 11. If
you prefer to connect the audio outputs from your TV to the mum-room interface, be sure to
use the L and H audio outputs from the VCR to the TV, instead of using coaxial cable. lithe
audio signal passes through two coaxral cable connections (like the connection from a cable
Tvbox), in some cases the stereo or surround encoding may be lost,

Fine-tuning your system
Figure 38
Bass and treble controls

In most situations. you only need to follow the speaker placement guidelines (see "Setting
Up" on pages 6-8) for your wstem to provide excellent sound quality.
You do not need to adjust tone settlngs for changes in volume, since Bose‘ patented slgnal
processing technology provides a natural tonal balance over the full range of volume settings.
If desired, you can further fine-tune your system as described here.
Adjusting speaker controls
The Lifestyle' 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.
You can also locate the normal setting by feeling when the control settles into the notch at
this position. Turn the controls clockwise to Increase, and counterclockwise to decrease, the
amount of treble or bass.
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 THEBLE and BASS controls.
Too much or too little treble
Rooms with too few sound-absorbing furnishings, especially those with bare floors and walls,
may sound overly shrill or “bright." Turning down the treble control (toward -)
decreases treble sound.
Rooms with a lot of sound-absorbing 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 1»).
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 comer
decreases bass.
Compensating for movie soundtracks
When a movie soundtrack Is played In a motion picture theater, its basis 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 In VIDEO.
AUX, or TAPE modes, use the FILM BASS button to select between standard and film
(enhanced) bass.

Adjusting signal levels
This setting allows you to adjust and equalize the signal level of sourcu that are not built—in

Operating more than one room
Your Ulestyle' 50 system is able to control up to four rooms of speakers. 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,
0, 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 tollowing
definitions:
Shared source: When two or more rooms are listening to the same source, they are sharing
this source. If 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 ls 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. Similany, with one CD player, the
system cannot play two difierent 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 it the room is off or which soume is on.

- If a room is shown by a letter with no box around it, it is sharing a source with the con-
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.
Use the following examples of four-room systems to understand the sequence of ROOM
