Operating Your Lifestyle® 20 Music System

Using the system with external components

Follow the instructions on page 8 for connecting a component.

Turn on your component directly or by using its remote control. Use the VOLUME ▲ or ▼ key on the Lifestyle® remote control or music center to raise or lower the volume. Control all other functions at the source, referring to its owner’s manual, if necessary. To begin, make sure the component is turned on and a tape, CD, laserdisc, etc. is loaded.

Note:The Lifestyle® 20 music system cannot turn a connected component on or off.

Turning the system on and selecting the component

Press the TAPE, AUX, VIDEO 1, or VIDEO 2 key on the remote or press SOURCE SELECT on the music center until the desired component is selected. This turns your music system on and selects the component connected to that input. If the music system is already on, this key selects the component.

The appropriate display indicator lights when the system is on and the component is selected.

Using a video sound source

Press VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 on the remote or SOURCE SELECT on the music center until VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 appears on the display. This turns your music system on and selects the video sound source connected to the VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 jacks. If the music system is already on, this key selects the component.

If your video component is connected to the music center AUX or TAPE jacks, press AUX or TAPE on the remote or use SOURCE SELECT on the music center to select the component.

Using a tape deck

To record to a connected tape deck, play the source (AM/FM, CD, AUX, VIDEO 1 or 2) you want to tape. In a 2-zone system, play the source in zone 1. Set the tape deck to record.

CAUTION:

The magnetic field from the Acoustimass® module is not an immediate risk to your video tapes, audio tapes, and other magnetic media. However, you should not store tapes directly on or near the Acoustimass module.

Using headphones

For headphone listening, use the stereo mini headphones jack on the right side of the music center (Figure 23). While this jack accepts most headphone models, you can get an adapter at Bose® dealers and most electronics stores, if needed.

Connecting headphones silences the speakers connected to SPEAKER ZONE 1.
