Operating a Multi-Room Lifestyle® 40 Music System

Using the ROOM button

The ROOM button allows you to select any connected room and control any sound source you want to hear in that room. Each time you press the ROOM button you can transfer control from one room to the next in A-B-C-D order. The room indicators on the display tell you what is currently selected. Rooms listening to a shared source can be linked and con- trolled as one room.

Turning on different sources in more than one room

Let’s say you have a two-room system (rooms A and B) and the entire system is off. To turn on a different source in each room:

1.Wake up the Personal™ music center.

2.Press the ROOM button until the room indicator is displayed. Press a source button, such as VIDEO 1, to turn on the system and listen to your DVD player in room A. Adjust the volume to the desired level.

3.Press the ROOM button again. The room indicator is displayed. Press a different source button, such as CD, to listen to a CD in room B. Again, adjust the volume to the desired level.

4.Press the ROOM button again and notice that the room indicator is displayed. You are controlling room A once again and the display indicates that the VIDEO 1 source is on.

Setting up a shared source

Now, let’s say the system is already on and you want to play the FM radio in rooms A and B:

1.Wake up the Personal music center.

2.Press the ROOM button until the room indicator is displayed. Press the FM source button and adjust the volume to the desired level for room A.

3.Press the ROOM button again to select room . Press the FM source button and adjust the volume to the desired level for room B. Now, the indicators A B are displayed.

4.Press the ROOM button again. The indicators A B appear on the display indicating that you can control these two rooms together. Any button command given now (SOURCE, VOLUME, MUTE, ON/OFF, SLEEP) is applied to both rooms.

Note: Remember that there are limits to using different sources in different rooms. With one tuner, the system cannot play one radio station in one room and another radio station in another. Similarly, with one CD changer, the system cannot play two different CDs at the same time.

Controlling two or more rooms together

There are two ways to gain control of two or more rooms:

•Set up a shared source in two or more rooms and select them together using the ROOM button. See “Setting up a shared source” above.

•Control all connected rooms together using the HOUSE button. See “Using the HOUSE button” on page 35.

Returning to single-room control

After you have gained control of multiple rooms using the ROOM button, you can use the ROOM button again to gain control of a single room. Press ROOM until the room you want is displayed (, , , or ). Control that room as desired.
