Presenting a New Way to Play

How much time to allow for storing CDs

•For storing 10 discs: 1 hour, though CDs that are damaged or need cleaning take longer. (Allow about 5 minutes per disc, with some time for inserting and removing each disc.)

•For processing (searching databases and cataloging all the tracks) 10 discs: 6 hours, while the system is turned off.

How many CDs you can store

•Using a LIFESTYLE® 38 system: approximately 200 hours of music or well over 200 CDs

•Using a LIFESTYLE® 48 system: approximately 340 hours of music or well over 350 CDs

What you can listen to while storing CDs

•You can listen to the AM or FM radio tuner, other CD tracks that are already stored, or other sources connected to the system (an analog connection is required), like your TV.

•You cannot listen to the CD that is being stored, or watch a DVD using the media center disc tray.

•As soon as the media center displays 100%, you can listen to the CD you have just stored, (using the CD player or Stored as the source), or you can replace the CD with a DVD and watch a video.

•If your setup includes a Bose® link network, you can continue to listen to the system in other rooms, too.

•You may notice some minor interruptions to the audio temporarily. But, if you have the source connected using both digital and analog cables, you can still enjoy listening to it.

How the uMusic™ intelligent playback system works for you

We know that the time spent sorting through CDs to locate the tracks you prefer simply delays your listening pleasure. Now, almost instantaneously, the uMusic system can do that job for you: finding and playing what you most want to hear.

Why presets are important

The uMusic system provides Presets 1 to 9 ready and waiting to provide each member of your household a private space for their personal listening preferences.

By using an exclusive preset, each listener helps this intelligent system distinguish their indi- vidual reactions to what it plays. Consider each preset a center point for that person’s musi- cal taste. Over time, the center may shift, as changes in taste and listening habits are noted by the preset.

Feel free to assign the presets as you like, give each one a name, and press just one button on the remote to switch quickly from one to another. Consider the benefits of reserving a preset for:

•Different members of your family, different roommates, different generations.

For the preset selected, both the number and its name, if any, appear on the media center display to help you keep the assignments straight.

Note: If several family members store their CD tracks on the system, be sure each one has an assigned preset and uses that preset when listening.

•Different listening times or frames of mind: wake-up, workout, weekends, homework, yard work, craft work, etc. For smaller households, it makes sense to change presets for differ- ent activities during your day.

Just remember that no preset is locked into its assignment. At any time, you can completely clear the memory of a stored music preset, then reassign it to another person or purpose. It’s strictly your choice. And you are free to use one and only one preset forever, if that’s what you prefer.
