Operating a Multi-Room Lifestyle® 50 System

Operating in more than one room

Figure 48

Example display for a two-room system

Your Lifestyle® 50 system can control up to four sets of Bose® powered speakers, allowing your family to enjoy different audio sources (CD, radio, TV, etc.) in up to four rooms. These rooms are referred to as room A, B, C, and D, with room A being the primary room (the one used for a one-room system). If two or more rooms are connected to your system, the Personal™ music center displays ROOM and HOUSE buttons, and room indicators (A, B, C, and/or D). Figure 48 shows an example display for a two-room system.

The ROOM button lets you control a single room or two or more rooms that share a source

The HOUSE button lets you control all connected rooms as one

The room indicators tell you what was selected by the

ROOM or HOUSE button

Understanding the room indicators

A boxed letter indicates the presently-selected room or rooms. The selected room is affected by any source changes, or any change you make using the VOLUME, MUTE, ON/OFF, or SLEEP buttons.

BAn unboxed letter indicates a room listening to a shared source. A shared source is one that is playing in the controlled room as well as in up to three additional rooms. If you change the radio station, CD track, etc., of the shared source, the change affects all rooms sharing this source. However, you cannot change sources for all affected rooms at the same time. The VOLUME, MUTE, ON/OFF, and SLEEP buttons only affect the boxed room(s).

An empty box appears for each connected room when you press the HOUSE button. When you change the volume in the HOUSE mode, the numerical level appearing on the display does not represent the actual volume level in all connected rooms. It only represents the actual volume in rooms represented by a boxed letter.
