Operating a Multi-Room Lifestyle® 40 Music System

Using the HOUSE button

The HOUSE button lets you control all connected rooms as if they were one. When you press the HOUSE button, an empty box indicator is displayed for each connected room. Any button pressed after that (any source button, VOLUME, MUTE, or SLEEP) affects every room. When you are done listening you can press OFF to turn off the entire system.

Note: If you do not press any additional buttons after pressing HOUSE, pressing HOUSE again cancels HOUSE mode.

Press the HOUSE button before each command to apply that command to all rooms:

Press …	To do this …
HOUSE then a source	Play the selected source in all connected rooms.
HOUSE then VOLUME ▲/▼ Adjust the volume up or down by the same amount in all
	rooms that are on, or all connected rooms if they are all off.
	The system remembers the differences among the original
	room volume settings.
HOUSE then MUTE	Silence all connected rooms that are on, even if any were
	previously muted individually. To cancel this command, press
	HOUSE then MUTE again. Any rooms that were muted before
	this command was given stay silent until individually unmuted.
	If you unmute an individual room after it was muted by a
	HOUSE - MUTE command, the other rooms remain silent until
	each one is unmuted individually. Pressing HOUSE then
	VOLUME ▲unmutes all muted rooms.
HOUSE then SLEEP	Set the SLEEP timer for all rooms that are on. The SLEEP time
	selected applies to all rooms that are on even if they are
	playing different sources. If the SLEEP timer was already set
	in one or more rooms, the display shows the longest time
	already set. You can accept this time or change it for all the
	rooms. To cancel the HOUSE - SLEEP command, press
	HOUSE, SLEEP, CLEAR, and then DONE.
HOUSE then OFF	Turn off the entire system.

Note: Instead of setting one sleep time for the entire house, you can set different sleep times for individual rooms by using the ROOM button to select each room and setting SLEEP.

When two or mor e rooms are controlled as one, adjusting the SLEEP time affects all rooms (indicated by boxed letters).

Using more than one Personal™ music center

If you have a multi-room system, you can add additional music centers in some or all of the connected rooms. Each multi-room interface can be controlled by a maximum of four music centers. Each music center can control up to four rooms.

To add a new music center to your system, follow the setup instructions on page 13. Be sure to install the batteries and turn it on for the first time close to the multi-room interface to allow the new music center to set up a radio frequency link with your system. If the multi-room interface is not plugged in or the music center is out of range, the display indicates NO RESPONSE.
