Setting Up Additional Rooms For Sound

Setup guidelines for additional rooms

If you have a Lifestyle® 18 series II, 28 series II, 38 or 48 home entertainment system, you can experience stereo sound in up to 14 other rooms using Lifestyle® stereo amplifiers, compati- ble speaker systems and remote controls for the other rooms.

Remote controls for other rooms must be set to the same house code as the main room remote, but each remote must be set to a different room code. See “Setting up remote con- trols for other rooms” on page 24.

The Lifestyle® amplifier and its remote control must be set to the same room code. See “Setting up the amplifier room code” on page 25.

When using more than one amplifier to power more than two speakers in a room (Figure 18, room C), all amplifiers must be set to the same room code. Also, one amplifier must be set to the single amp mode and all others must be set to the supplemental amp mode. See “Single and supplemental amplifiers” on page 26.
