Bose® link: the key to assured compatibility

One option is using a Bose product you already own, if you want the sound in just one addi- tional room.

As a second option that can provide sound throughout your home (or even outside!), the Bose® link network connects all the pieces and offers a variety of Bose products of consistent quality for use in the other rooms.

These include smaller Bose systems, powered and unpowered speakers and amplifiers, plus the proper cables and adapters to complete your sound network. And by purchasing a Bose® link remote control for each additional room, managing your whole-house music system becomes quick and easy. Inside these remotes, one small switch allows you to predetermine which rooms, as a group, will share the main room program stream and which other room or group of rooms will hear the alternate stream.

For more versatility, you may prefer using a PERSONAL® music center II remote control in your other rooms. Besides providing the ability to switch between program streams without setting switches, this advanced remote provides an LCD screen that shows you what is play- ing on both steams. So it is very easy to choose one or the other whenever you like.

Regardless of which type you choose, with any Bose® link remote control you also get detailed instructions on using the network. And a Bose® link symbol on the cartons (for the products mentioned above) helps simplify your selections.

For more information on your choices, or to purchase additional equipment, contact your local Bose dealer. Or, to reach Bose directly, refer to the address list included with

the system.
