Before you begin

Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Lifestyle® 40 music system. Years of research lie behind this complete audio home entertainment system – the most advanced compact music system available from Bose. Technological innovations that make the Lifestyle® 40 music system unique include the Bose Personal™ music center, which places all system operations in the palm of your hand, and tiny Jewel Cube® speakers so small they virtually disappear.

The Personal music center is a clear departure from convention – it’s interactive, sending out and receiving signals from the system, so you can control all the advanced features as you move about your home. Communicating through its two-way radio frequency link, the Personal music center keeps you informed of the system’s status, facilitating full control of its operations.

The Bose Jewel Cube® speakers are also far from conventional. Proprietary technologies ensure that these tiny speakers not only fill a room with sound, but also reproduce sound more accurately than traditionally designed loudspeakers.

The other elements of the Lifestyle® 40 music system are designed to be hidden from view:

•The elegant Lifestyle® CD changer, designed to give you flexibility in where it is placed

•The hideaway powered Acoustimass® module that delivers the rich, full, lifelike bass

•The Bose multi-room interface, including a built-in AM/FM tuner, inputs for two video sources, an auxiliary source, and tape deck. In addition, it has four independent audio outputs that allow you to enjoy Bose sound throughout your home.

These, and numerous other innovations, bring you the Lifestyle® 40 system, offering superb sound, elegance, and simplicity for music and home entertainment.

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