Setting Up

Before you begin

Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Lifestyle® 30 system. This remarkably compact system is a result of advanced technology developed by years of research. Technological innova- tions that make the Lifestyle® 30 system possible include the smallest CD changer now available for home use and Jewel Cube® speakers, one-half the size of the previous Acousti- mass® 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® 30 system, offering superb sound, elegance, technology, and simplicity for music and home theater.

Your system includes:

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

•Powered Acoustimass speakers consisting of five 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

Bose Videostage® decoder technology enables the Lifestyle® 30 system to reproduce the realism of movie sound especially for a home environment. When a movie soundtrack or CD is produced in a surround sound format, specially encoded sound is sent to any or all of the available speakers. Dialogue is usually sent to the front speakers. Sounds from the left or right side of the picture are sent to the left or right front speakers. Ambient sounds or special effects may be sent to the surround (rear) speakers. Bose Videostage circuitry automatically directs the sound to the correct speakers.

To select surround-encoded material, look for any of the terms Surround, Dolby Surround,

and the double-D symbol * on tapes and discs, or the word “surround” preceding a TV broadcast.

When sound is recorded in stereo, but not surround-encoded, Videostage decoder technol- ogy directs it to the most appropriate speakers based on the signals received. When viewing older movies or listening to other monaural programs on your Lifestyle® 30 system, Videostage directs sound so it appears to come from the center of the TV screen.

You can listen to any program material in SURROUND (5-speaker) mode, although you will not hear sound from all five speakers all of the time. All monaural and most stereo materials are not directed to the surround speakers. Even with surround-encoded material there are times when no sounds are directed to the surround speakers. You can select the speaker mode that sounds best to you for each particular program.

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