Setting Up

Before you begin

Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Lifestyle® 20 music system. This remarkably compact system is a result of advanced technology developed by years of research. Technological innovations that make the Lifestyle® 20 music system possible include the smallest CD changer now available for home use and Jewel CubeTM speakers one-half the size of the previous Acoustimass® cube speakers.

To create speakers this small, the magnet inside is formed using the rare earth element neodymium and has ten times more energy (per unit volume) than conventional magnets. For high performance from such a small package, a port 3.8 inches (9.7 cm) long was designed in the shape of a nautilus shell and enclosed inside the tiny cube.

These, and numerous other innovations, bring you the Lifestyle® 20 music system, offering superb sound, elegance, technology, and simplicity for music and home entertainment.

Your system includes:

A Lifestyle® music center with built-in AM/FM radio and six-disc CD changer

Powered Acoustimass speakers consisting of two Jewel Cube speakers and a hide-away Acoustimass module

An easy-to-use remote control

Inputs for two video sound sources, an auxiliary source, and a tape deck

Capability for operating two listening zones

Your Lifestyle® music system offers several ways to listen to superbly reproduced sound. You can use its built-in sound sources, connect additional equipment such as a tape deck, laserdisc player, VCR, or TV, and use two listening zones.

Please take the time to follow this owner’s guide carefully. It will help you set up and operate your Lifestyle® music system, and enjoy all of its advanced features. Save your owner’s guide for future reference.

CAUTION:

Remove and dispose of the three manufacturer’s shipping screws from the bottom of the Lifestyle® music center before setting up your system.

The shipping screws are for use by the manufacturer only. They are not re-installable.
