More detailed information regarding the use of your Boston Acoustics Freedom System can be found in the Freedom Home Theater System Setup and Use Guide. When you use the Freedom Remote for the first time, you have to install the batteries. The Freedom Remote requires 3 AA-batteries (3 x 1.5 V) to function. You can use either the supplied batteries or purchase rechargeable batteries. The Freedom Remote is an intelligent remote control that operates the Freedom Control Center via radio frequencies (RF). For that reason, the Freedom Remote does not need to be aimed at the Control Center. 1 Remove the battery cover by releasing the tab and lifting. The Freedom Remote also can control virtually all audio and video devices that respond to infrared (IR) remote control signals. Its easy-to-use LCD touch screen and its intuitive interface make it a perfect remote control for every user. IR codes are stored in the memory of the Freedom Remote, to activate different brands of video and audio devices. The Freedom Remote is set up by default to operate your Boston Acoustics Freedom System. When you have other brands of external devices connected, you simply define the brands when you use the Freedom Remote for the first time. See ‘Defining the Brands of Your Devices’ on p. XX for more details. The Freedom Remote can also learn IR codes from your existing remote controls. The Freedom Remote can receive and store the IR codes by means of its learning eye. See ‘Learning Commands’ on p. XX for more details. 2 Place the batteries in the battery compartment. 3 Replace the battery cover. After a few seconds, the Freedom Remote starts up automatically and an introduction screen appears. The Freedom Remote beeps twice to indicate that it has started up successfully. You can label the touch screen buttons on the Freedom Remote. Characters and numbers are available for labeling as well as various audio and video symbols. See ‘Labeling Buttons and Devices’ on p. XX for more details. Recording macros is another feature of the Freedom Remote. If you wish to assign a sequence of commands to a single button, you can record a macro. See ‘Recording Macros’ on p. XX for more details. With the Freedom Edit software for a PC you can create your own screens and create an individualized look for your remote. Freedom Edit’s on line help system will guide you through the process. In the future Freedom Edit will also allow you to upgrade your Freedom Remote. You can find Freedom Edit on the included CD-ROM and on the Boston Acoustics website www.bostonacoustics.com/freedom. See ‘Freedom Edit’ on p. XX for more details.

FPO Fig. 2: The Device button USER MANUAL USER MANUAL USING THE FREEDOM REMOTE USING THE FREEDOM REMOTE On the Listening Mode page you will find the following soft buttons: Selecting a Device on the Device Overview Stereo Uses only the front left and front right speakers , allowing Freedom to behave like a traditional 2-channel stereo system. Tap the soft button of the device you want to operate. The first page of the selected device appears. See ‘Using the Page Up and Page Down Buttons’ on p. 10 to go to another page of the device. You operate devices using the buttons on your Freedom Remote: • Soft buttons (touch screen buttons); • Hard buttons. Surround Music Uses the front left/center/right and rear left/right speakers to recreate the ambience of a live musical performance. This is the default setting for the internal CD and Tuner, as well as Auxiliary Audio and Changer external inputs. Additional controls for Surround Music can be found in the setup menus accessed via the system on-screen display. Selecting Other Device Functions The second page of the Device Overview Section allows you additional control of your Freedom System. On this page you will find four soft buttons. Zone 2, Macros, Listen Modes, and Sleep. Zone 2- The Freedom System has the ability to provide audio simultaneously and independently in two different listening "zones". With the connection of additional amplification and loudspeakers to the Zone 2 output from your Freedom Control Center you can for instance, enjoy a CD in one room and the FM tuner in another. To activate a device from Zone 2 tap the Zone 2 button. Devices available now come up in a new page labeled Zone 2. You operate the devices as you would in Zone 1. To turn off Zone 2, or return operation to Zone 1, tap the Off or Zone 1 soft buttons at the bottom of the touch screen. Note Surround Movie Uses the front left/center/right and rear left/right speakers to recreate a movie theater-like surround sound experience from sources that are not Dolby® Digital or DTS®. This is the default setting for VCR/PVR, Satellite/Cable and TV. If any external source changes to a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, Surround Movie mode will be automatically overridden. 5/6 Turns the rear center speaker on and off. The Freedom System includes the ability to properly decode the latest surround sound formats: Dolby® Digital Surround EX™ and DTS®-ES™. Both of these formats are available on DVD, and Dolby Digital Surround EX may be found on some programming on digital cable and satellite. If a Zone 2 user selects a device already in operation in Zone 1 (or vice versa) both users will have control of that same device. This may cause conflicting use and programming. The proper amount of sound will come automatically from the rear center speaker when watching an EX- or ES-encoded movie. A regular Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack will also send sound to this speaker. However, when watching these movies it is possible that too much sound can come from the rear center speaker, and not enough from the rear left and right speakers. If that is the case, press the 5/6 button to turn the rear center speaker on and off. The corresponding blue light on the control center will provide a visual confirmation of the status of the rear center speaker. Simply chose which system configuration you prefer for a specific movie soundtrack. Listen Modes The Freedom Remote allows adjustment of several "listening modes" to allow you to get maximum enjoyment and performance from your Freedom System. Listening Modes allow you to use two, five or all six of the system’s speakers, depending on program type, format and personal taste. The system’s subwoofer is always on, regardless of the number of speakers being used. Note USER MANUAL 10 Subw -/+ Adjusts the output level of the subwoofer to match the type of programming being played. You may also find that a relatively higher subwoofer level is preferred when playing the system at lower volumes. The range of this control is -12 to +12, and a visual indication of any level change will appear on the control center display and your television. A customized Listening Mode page is also available for each device and can be found on the next-to-last page for each device. This page will only show soft buttons appropriate for that device. USER MANUAL 11 USING THE FREEDOM REMOTE USING THE FREEDOM REMOTE Note Night (Disc and Changer Device only) Changes the Freedom System’s overall dynamic range while listening to DVD’s. This will reduce the difference between a movie’s softest and loudest passages, making the movie more suitable for viewing when you are concerned about disturbing others. Working with Modes Listening Mode Memory The Freedom System will automatically recall both the Listening Mode and the associated subwoofer level setting for each source. Let’s say that the last time you played a CD you listened in Surround Music mode and set the subwoofer to –2. The last time you listened to the Tuner you listened in Stereo and set the subwoofer to +3. You just finished watching a movie in Dolby Digital Surround EX with the rear center speaker on and the subwoofer set to +5. When you switch to Tuner, the system will automatically switch to Stereo, subwoofer +3. Any changes you make to the Listen Mode settings will be stored automatically in the system’s memory and recalled the next time you choose that source. The Freedom Remote starts up in Use mode. In this mode you operate your devices.

Your Freedom Remote Control comes from the factory ready to control your system using Radio Frequencies (RF). RF signals have an operating range of 20 meters (66 feet) in a typical home and unlike traditional Infrared (IR) signals used by most consumer electronics, RF signals can go through walls and obstacles, allowing you to operate the system throughout your house. This feature is particularly helpful when controlling your system from another room or even outside where you may have additional speakers. There are two reasons why you may want to adjust the RF/IR characteristics of your Remote Control and Freedom System. One, to extend control of IR devices by using RF. Two, to resolve system interference problems. Changing Infrared (IR) Components to Radio Frequency (RF) Control Additional devices (VCR, Satellite Receiver, etc.) that you may want to connect to your Freedom System will typically use IR signals to operate via a remote and your Freedom Remote Control is designed to learn these IR commands, (see Defining Brands and Learning Commands on pages ###) USER MANUAL 18 USER MANUAL 19 USING THE FREEDOM REMOTE USING THE FREEDOM REMOTE 3 On the next screen select the device you wish to change. Changing RF Settings- RF ID If you have more than one Freedom system in your home or perhaps a neighbor in close proximity also has a system, you may find that the RF signals from one system’s Remote Control will interfere with the other.
