Presenting a New Way to Play

Switch from one to another easily

Pressing one or two buttons is all it takes.

•If you are not yet in the uMusicTM mode, press the remote control Stored button to get there.

•While in the uMusic mode system, press a number button, from 1 to 9, to activate one of the presets.

Use the selection and rating buttons as you like

With your preset selected, do what you normally do while listening:

•Let the track play to its conclusion if you don’t want to take any action. Or,

•Press the Seek button to move on to the next track if you like. Or,

•Press Repeat for any tracks you want to hear again. Or,

•Use the + and – buttons to rate tracks you react to strongly.

No matter which actions above you take while listening, the system continues to select from the entire contents of your stored music. Your preset keeps track of these responses, so the system learns to play certain music more or less often. Yet, for tracks you rate negatively, a small chance remains that you will hear that music in the future. Only by deleting a track from the system can you ensure it will never play again.

Note: To name a preset, or delete a track from the system, select the appropriate option from the System menu. For more information, refer to “Stored CD data options” on page 41.

Take advantage of the system intelligence

As it stores and processes the tracks from your CDs, this system draws information about the tracks from internal music databases. This data includes the name of each track, performing artist, style of music (genre), and other meaningful information that helps characterize the music you enjoy.

As a further benefit, Bose issues update discs to keep the music databases current. So even your newest CD acquisitions will have this information available.

Sending in the Product Registration card included with your system is very important.

(As indicated on your card, you may be able to register on line, instead).

Using either method identifies you as the system owner who should

receive any database or software updates. Data on each disc copies to the system automatically, when inserted

in the disc tray.

Be sure to fill out your card, or the online form, and return it to Bose.

Beyond just storing this data for your use, however, the system also allows you to edit it to better reflect your associations with the music. For instance, if the embedded data classifies a CD as “World” music, and you consider it part of your Latin collection, you can simply change the genre of that CD. For any CDs not covered by the database (created at home or non-commercially produced), the system allows you to add information about that music to make sure it is filed and displays as you like.

For details on what information can be added or changed and how to make those changes, refer to “Stored CD data options” on page 41.
