Operating Your Lifestyle
®

30 System

Using the system with external components
Follow the instructions on pages 10-12 for connecting components.
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, DVD, laserdisc, etc. is loaded.
Note:
The Lifestyle
®
30 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 system on and
selects the component connected to that input. If the system is already on, this key selects
the component.
Note:
Selecting TAPE or AUX turns the system on in STEREO (2-speaker) mode. Selecting
VIDEO 1 or 2 turns the system on in SURROUND (5-speaker) mode. Press SURROUND
(5-speaker), STEREO+CENTER (3-speaker), or STEREO (2-speaker) to change the mode.
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 2 appears on the display. This turns your system on in SURROUND mode and
selects the video sound source connected to the VIDEO1 or 2 jacks. If the system is
already on, this key selects the component and SURROUND mode.
If your video component is connected to the music center AUX or TAPE jacks, press AUX or
TAPE on the remote or SOURCE SELECT on the music center to select the component.
This turns your system on in STEREO mode. Press SURROUND to select 5-speaker mode.
Using enhanced bass for movie soundtracks
Pressing VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 turns the system on in enhanced bass mode, a bass level
specially designed for proper playback of movie soundtracks. Press VIDEO 1 or 2 again to
alternate between enhanced bass for movies and standard bass for other listening.
Pressing AUX or TAPE turns the system on in standard bass mode. Press AUX or TAPE
again to alternate between standard bass for other listening and enhanced bass for movies.
Note:
You may not hear a difference between enhanced and standard bass when listening
to movie soundtracks that do not have much very low bass content.

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.

Using headphones

For headphone listening, use the
stereo mini headphones jack on the
side of the music center (Figure 28).
While this jack accepts most head-
phone 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.
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.
