Bose PERSONAL Music Center II
Owner’s Guide
Introduction
Thank you
Introduction
By choosing a Bose® PERSONAL® music center II, you have
opened the door to a variety of new options for playing your
LIFESTYLE® DVD home entertainment system – in almost any area
of your home!
This new music center provides you with:
• Control of your LIFESTYLE® system from a different room or
floor of your house.
• On-screen information about your stored music and the range
of uMusicTM intelligent playback system choices for hearing it,
if yours is a LIFESTYLE® 38 or 48 system.
• The option to readily switch between the two audio streams
from the system and multiply your choice of programs.
• Control of speakers set up in the same area as the remote, or
even a local system with its own set of sources you can play.
• Easy access to system options, which appear right on the
remote control LCD screen.
• Instant confirmation, because you not only hear, but also see
what you’ve selected on the display screen.
Other equipment you can control
To enjoy the full benefit of your LIFESTYLE® system outside the
main room where the system is set up, you need to have speakers
or a local system that can reproduce the sound where you want it.
For that purpose, Bose offers a selection of expansion products
that work together seamlessly due to one common ingredient:
Bose® link compatibility. These products include:
• LIFESTYLE® SA-2 or SA-3 amplifiers that work with a variety of
Bose passive speakers.
• Bose 3•2•1 Series II and 3•2•1 GS Series II systems.
• The Bose Wave® music system.
Or you can use a previously purchased Bose product, which does
not have built-in Bose® link compatibility. Using such a legacy
product may restrict expansion of your LIFESTYLE® system.
Note: Unauthorized modification of the receiver or radio remote
control could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
The remote control conforms to the RTTE Directive 99/5/EC (R+TTED).
The complete Declaration of Conformity can be found on

Preparing to Use the Music Center
Where to begin
Preparing to Use the Music Center
Your expansion system or speakers must be set up and connected to the LIFESTYLE® system before you can use them with
the PERSONAL® music center II.
If you have a Bose® link product and still need to set it up, refer to
“To add more rooms of sound” on page 25.
If you have an older product to use with the remote, refer to
“Using other products for expansion” on page 26.
If you have already set up and connected your expansion system,
you can get your remote ready to use now.
Installing the batteries
You can turn on your PERSONAL® music center as soon as the
batteries are installed, as follows:
1.
On the back of the PERSONAL® music center, slide the
battery compartment cover off.
2.
Install the four supplied AA (IEC LR6) batteries, matching the
polarity markings (+ and –) on each battery to the markings
inside the battery compartment (Figure 1).
3.
Close the battery cover by sliding it back into place.
Figure 1
Inserting the
batteries
Note: Change the batteries when you notice a marked decrease in
the range or response of the remote.
Please dispose of used batteries properly, following any local
regulations. Do not incinerate.
Preparing to Use the Music Center
Be sure to confirm these settings
Your PERSONAL® music center is pre-set at the factory:
• For use in the single expansion room (Room B) or area (not in
the main room with your LIFESTYLE® system).
• With the same house code that each new LIFESTYLE® system is
assigned.
• To command the Audio 2 stream from the LIFESTYLE® system.
• To display English. Or, if your LIFESTYLE® system is already set
to a different language, your PERSONAL® music center detects
that and quickly switches to the same language. If it does not do
so, refer to the section below.
Note: To learn how to select a different text display language for
your system, refer to “Media center options” in the Operating Guide
that came with the system.
If the above settings are right for your plans, you can begin to use
your remote now.
How to make other choices
To change the language of the text on your PERSONAL® music
center display may require use of the Setup button. If your music
center does not automatically reflect your change in the system,
refer to “Music center settings you can change” on page 21.
For more information on expansion room codes, see “The importance of room codes” on page 23.
For information on house codes, see “Why would you change the
house code?” on page 23.
To understand what Audio 1 and 2 streams mean, refer to “Audio
streams multiply your options” on page 24.
Preparing to Use the Music Center
Basics of the controls
Your PERSONAL® music center II features a powerful combination
of selection buttons and a display screen, which lets you see and
choose from the wide variety of LIFESTYLE® system capabilities.
You can use the PERSONAL® music center to command system
performance from almost anywhere in your home, even outside,
without ever taking aim. Radio frequency signals from the
PERSONAL® music center reach the system from as far away as
80 feet (24.6 meters).
Getting to what you want
Using a few essential buttons allows you to get started, move
around on the display screen, and make selections from
the display.

Listening to other sources
Your LIFESTYLE® system has connection jacks for other components, like a TV, VCR, and cable or satellite box. When they are
connected properly, the system can then select and operate these
additional sources.
Each one of these components also appears in the source list of
your PERSONAL® music center. So, you can select and hear any
one of them, once it has been turned on.
Note: Except for a TV, the PERSONAL® music center II will not turn
components connected to your LIFESTYLE® system on or off.

Listening to Your Local Source
How it differs from a system source
Listening to Your Local Source
Your PERSONAL® music center II is engineered for use with any
Bose® link-enabled products located in the expansion room where
you use the PERSONAL® music center.
If you simply have speakers connected to a Bose SA-2 or SA-3
amplifier in the expansion room, those speakers turn on and off
with the PERSONAL® music center. Muting or adjusting the volume are the only other adjustments you make to these speakers.
With a Bose 3•2•1 Series II or 3•2•1 GS Series II system or a
Bose Wave® music system connected in the expansion room,
however, you have another full sound source. If an SA-3 amplifier
in your expansion room has a TV or other audio component connected, that too qualifies as a local sound source.
Because this local source is within view, it responds to commands
from the PERSONAL® music center in its own way.
Choosing and using your local source
This additional sound source is identified as Local in the list of
sources on your PERSONAL® music center display.
Note: Local is not available when your PERSONAL® music center is
set for use in Room A.
To listen to your local source:
1.
Press
to see the list of sources.
2.
Move up or down to highlight Local and press the center bar
to confirm the selection.
This turns on the nearby system to the volume, play medium
(radio, CD, etc.), and preset (if that applies) last selected.
What appears on the display
The display presents a general guideline for selecting local system
options (Figure 12).

Listening to Your Local Source
Exploring your options
Your local source may include AM and FM radio and a CD/DVD
player.
• To switch from one to another of these play mediums, move
right.
• To see the numeric selection screen, press the center bar
• To change the numbers on the numeric selection screen:
- Move up or down to increase or decrease the highlighted
number.
- Press the center bar
to move right for the next digit.
- Move left to erase a number.
- Move right when you have made all the changes.
When you insert a disc in to the player on the local source, it may
automatically begin playing. Or, you need to press the play/pause
button
on the PERSONAL® music system one or more times.
This can depend on the disc and the type of local source you are
using.
Use the PERSONAL® music center arrow buttons
other choices, such as:
to make
• Play external components connected to the local system.
(Turn them on using the local source remote or the remote
specific to that component.)
• Change channels or radio stations.
Use other PERSONAL® music center buttons, as you do with the
LIFESTYLE® system in the main room, to:
• Skip forward or backward (scan is not available).
• Pause, stop, and restart disc play.
• Adjust or mute the volume.
• Turn the local system off or on (must have Local source
selected).
• Switch back to one of the sources on your LIFESTYLE® system.
For access to settings and advanced options on your local
source, use the remote that came with it.

Beyond the Basics
The importance of room codes
Your PERSONAL® music center II is set at the factory for use in
Room B. Room A is the setting for the primary remote provided
with your LIFESTYLE® system. These unique room codes let your
LIFESTYLE® system know where the commands originate, so it
can respond in the appropriate room.
If you have only one expansion room set up now, and that is where
you will use the PERSONAL® music center, the Room B setting
should be fine.
However, if you have more than one PERSONAL® music center II,
or have other LIFESTYLE® system remotes for use in other rooms,
leaving them all set for Room B will not work.
When you need to make a change
If you have set up other expansion rooms already or you prefer to
use your PERSONAL® music center in the main room, its room
code setting must change.
In rooms where a LIFESTYLE® SA-2 or SA-3 amplifier is installed,
both the amplifier and the PERSONAL® music center that will
works with it must have identical room codes.
Like the PERSONAL® music center, these LIFESTYLE® amplifiers
as well as Bose® link compatible systems are set at the factory for
Room B. If you change that setting, because you have more than
one expansion room set up, your PERSONAL® music center room
code must change to match it.
Rather than using it in a second room, you may prefer to
use your PERSONAL® music center in the main room, where the
LIFESTYLE® system is located. In that case, the PERSONAL®
music center room code must be set to Room A, like the primary
remote that came with the system.
To learn how to choose a different room code, see “To change settings for a feature” on page 21.
Note: For more room code details, refer to the operating guide that
came with your LIFESTYLE® system.
Why would you change the house code?
Your PERSONAL® music center II is set at the factory with a house
code identical to the factory setting on other LIFESTYLE® systems
and remote controls. If you have not changed the house code setting in your LIFESTYLE® system, there is no need change that
code in your PERSONAL® music center.
23
Beyond the Basics
A LIFESTYLE® system radio frequency (RF) remote has a long
range and the ability to penetrate walls. Therefore, the signals
from a remote in one home can possibly reach and affect the
operation of a LIFESTYLE® system in another. Changing the house
code for the system and all the remotes used with it avoids the
conflict.
To learn how to choose a different house code, see “To change
settings for a feature” on page 21.
Note: For more details on the system house code, refer to the operating guide included with your system.
Audio streams multiply your options
While the LIFESTYLE® system is playing in the main room, you can
use your PERSONAL® music center II in another room to play a
completely different choice from that same system.
The system provides this choice by employing two independent
audio streams to deliver the sound. So, while the Audio 1 stream
fills the main room with spine tingling DVD special effects, you can
move to another room and switch to FM radio on the other
stream.
While the PERSONAL® music center II is set at the factory to
control the Audio 2 steam, you can easily change it to Audio 1, the
stream that delivers sound in the main room.
For example, there may be times when you don’t want to hear
what is playing in one of your multiple expansion rooms. Without
disturbing the person enjoying sound on the Audio 2 stream there,
you can switch to Audio 1, which may not otherwise be in use.
This option also allows people in different rooms to use the
uMusicTM system with different presets selected.
Note: Selecting the Audio 1 stream is a temporary change. When
you turn the PERSONAL® music center off and then on again, it
resets to control the Audio 2 stream.
To learn how to choose a different audio stream, see “To change
settings for a feature” on page 21.
24
Beyond the Basics
To add more rooms of sound
Your LIFESTYLE® system is capable of supplying up to 14 expansion rooms with Bose® sound to fill your entire living space with
music.
There are numerous Bose products designed specifically for use
in these expansion rooms, and some older Bose products can
serve this purpose as well. Products from other suppliers may also
fit into your whole-house solution. For each choice your approach
may differ.
Bose® link products for expansion
Bose® link-enabled products have compatibility built in, making
them easy to connect to your system and ready to respond to
commands from your PERSONAL® music system II.
One example is a Bose SA-2 or SA-3 amplifier that connects to
a variety of Bose indoor and outdoor speakers. You can even use
the Bose® link A cable supplied with each amplifier to connect
multiple amplifiers together in a daisy chain arrangement for all
14 expansion rooms.
For details on setting up one or more amplifiers, refer to the
owner’s guide provided with the amplifier.
Another example is the Bose® link 50-foot extension/expansion
cable that allows you to connect a mix of amplifiers and amplified
systems for sound in multiple expansion rooms. This cable connects at one end to the Bose® link jack on the LIFESTYLE® system
media center, while at the other end it features a 4-jack connector
for several amplifiers and one or more additional systems.
For the added systems, you can use a 3•2•1 Series II or 3•2•1 GS
Series II system or the Wave® music system.
Connecting another Bose® link system
By choosing a Wave® music system, or a 3•2•1 Series II
or 3•2•1 GS Series II DVD home entertainment system for
expansion, you gain another set of sources to play, using your
PERSONAL® music center II.
For either of these systems, you need to use the Bose® link B
cable to make the connection.
25
Beyond the Basics
Insert one end of Bose® link B cable into the Bose® link jack on
the rear panel of the additional system (Figure 14). Connect the
other end directly to the Bose® link jack on the rear of the LIFESTYLE® system media center, or to an extension/expansion cable
(when adding products for more than one expansion room).

To purchase any of these Bose® link products or cables, contact
your authorized Bose dealer.
• For the Bose® link B cable, ask for Part Number 273619.
• For the Bose® link extension/expansion cable, ask for Part Number 275475-050.
Or, to contact Bose directly, refer to the address list included in
the carton with your system.
Using other products for expansion
There are other Bose products, which you may already own, that
can also connect to your LIFESTYLE® system. However, adding an
older, legacy product, which is not Bose® link enabled, may limit
you to just one expansion room where the Audio 2 stream is the
only option.
How you make the connections depends on the type of product
used.
Considerations specific to some
Some special settings and operational limitations apply to certain
legacy Bose products that pre-date Bose® link compatibility.
There may be other considerations for products from other
manufacturers.
26
Beyond the Basics
When using a Bose SA-1 amplifier – Use the cable that came
with the amplifier and connect the cable to the Bose® link jack on
the LIFESTYLE® media center. Do not turn the amplifier on until
you change the LIFESTYLE® system setting (in the System menu,
under Media Center) for Protocol to Legacy.
Note: Refer to your LIFESTYLE® operating guide for details on making System menu changes.
Be sure the PERSONAL® music center II is set for Room B, so it
will work with this amplifier. Using it, you can turn the amplifier on
or off, change the volume and mute or unmute the speakers.
When using LIFESTYLE® powered speakers – Set the room
code for your Bose PERSONAL® music center II for Room O.
With Acoustimass® 5 powered speakers – Use a Bose variable speaker adapter (Part Number 278894-103) to connect to
your LIFESTYLE® system media center.
Set the Bose PERSONAL® music center II in that expansion room
for Room O and use it to turn these speakers on or off, change the
volume and mute the speakers.
With a Wave® radio or Wave® radio/CD – Set the room code for
your Bose PERSONAL® music center II for Room O. Use the
remote that came with it to turn either of these units on or off.
For a product with its own remote control – Set the product
to the maximum volume you may want. Then use the Bose
PERSONAL® music center II to adjust the volume as needed.
For more information on compatibility and cables, please contact
Bose. Refer to the address list provided with your LIFESTYLE ®
system.

What to do
Your PERSONAL®
music center II
doesn’t work as
expected
• It could be time to change batteries.
• In some buildings, you may experience “dead spots”
when the PERSONAL® music center will note operate
effectively. If this happens, simply move it a foot or two
and try again.
• Make sure the cord that connects the power supply to
the LIFESTYLE® system media center (which contains
the remote antenna) is stretched to its full length and is
separated from other power cords.
• Try moving the LIFESTYLE® media center a few feet to
see if that provides a better response.
• You may need an antenna extender, which is described
in the LIFESTYLE® installation guide.
No sound
• Make sure the house code setting for the PERSONAL®
music center II matches the house code in the primary
remote. Unless you changed it, the house code setting in
both should be 0.
• Make sure the PERSONAL® music center room code setting is unique to the room.
• If you are using a Bose® SA-2 or SA-3 amplifier, make
sure:
- the room codes are the same in the amplifier and in
the PERSONAL® music center.
- the status indicator on the amplifier is lit to show it is
working.
