Media center-to-zone 2 connections

Your LIFESTYLE® home entertainment system can direct sound from one or two sound sources (such as CD, AM/FM tuner, TAPE, or AUX) to two different listening zones at the same time.

What is a zone?

Each listening area, whether a room or a group of rooms (including outdoor areas), is called a zone. Your primary listening area is set up as zone 1.

What do I need for setting up a second zone?

A Bose® powered speaker system that is compatible with your home entertainment system. An existing stereo system can also be connected (special adapter required).

The appropriate LIFESTYLE® system cable to connect the zone 2 speaker system to the SPEAKER ZONES 2 connector on the rear panel of the media center.

A second LIFESTYLE® system remote control to operate the zone 2 sound.

See your dealer or contact Bose for information on obtaining additional powered speakers, remote controls, cables, and adapters for connecting additional equipment.

How do I set up a speaker system in a second zone?

1.Choose a location for the speaker system in zone 2.

2.Connect the audio input cable from the zone 2 system to the SPEAKER ZONES 2 output on the rear panel of the media center.

3.When power is connected and you are ready to set up your second remote control, see “Setting up a second listening zone” in your LIFESTYLE® system operating guide.
