Setting up a second listening zone
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.
