This allows you to command sound from your LIFESTYLE® system in an entirely different part of your home. English Dansk To get an additional room of sound It takes only a few steps to set up one additional room of sound with Bose products. With batteries installed in the RC-18S remote, you can then use it for control in the same area with those products. With a Bose SA-2 or SA-3 amplifier and speakers: 1. Arrange and connect the speakers and amplifier as instructed in the amplifier owner's guide. (A Bose® link A cable is supplied with the amplifier only.) 2. Check the room setting on the amplifier, as instructed in the owner's guide that came with it. This setting must be different from the main room remote. Check the switch settings inside the battery compartment of the RC-18S remote. These include: · House code (switches 1-4): Must match the main room remote control house code setting. · Audio stream (switch 5): May be set like that of the main room remote or be set to receive a different audio stream instead. Set switch 5 in the RC-18S accordingly. · Room setting (switches 6-9): These must be different from the main room remote and identical to the room settings in the amplifier. Note: Your RC-18S remote and the SA-2 or SA-3 amplifier switches are set at the factory with identical house codes, with switch 5 set to command audio stream 2, and with room switches set for use in Room B. 4. If your amplifier and remote switches do not match, refer to "How to change the settings, as needed" on page 15. Español Deutsch 3. Français Svenska Nederlands Italiano 4 Deciding Where and How With a Series II 3·2·1 or 3·2·1 GS system The 3·2·1 Series II and 3·2·1 GS Series II DVD home entertainment systems are also Bose® link compatible products designed to work with your LIFESTYLE® system. This gives you the choice of listening to any of the 3·2·1 system sound sources or to audio stream 1 or 2 of the LIFESTYLE® system. All it requires is that the two systems be connected. This connection requires use of a Bose® link B cable. If you do not yet own one, you can purchase this cable by requesting Part Number 273619 from your authorized Bose dealer. Or, to contact Bose directly, refer to the address list included in the carton with your system. This cable connects to the rear panel of both the 3·2·1 and LIFESTYLE® system media centers as shown (Figure 1). Use the Bose® link jack for this connection. Figure 1 Connecting 3·2·1 (or 3·2·1 GS) Series II and LIFESTYLE® Series II media centers Bose® link jack LIFESTYLE® 18 or 28 Series II media center English Dansk Deutsch Español Français Bose® link B cable 3·2·1 (or 3·2·1 GS) Series II media center Italiano Bose® link jack Nederlands When the connections are completed, you can operate either system using the RC-18S remote. By pressing the Local button, you tell the remote to control your 3·2·1 system. For access to the more advanced features of the 3·2·1 system, however, be sure to use the remote that came with it. Svenska 5 Deciding Where and How With older Bose products for expansion Some other Bose products, which you may already own, can also connect to your LIFESTYLE® system. However, if the product you add is not Bose® link compatible, you are limited to expanding your system to one additional room. How you make this connection will depend on the type of product you have. It could be: Dansk English · powered speakers, such as an Acoustimass® 5 powered speaker system · an earlier system, such as a 3·2·1 Series I system, a Wave® radio or Wave® radio/CD Deutsch · indoor or outdoor speakers connected to a Bose SA-1 amplifier For details, refer to "Some simple rules to keep it all straight" on page 12. For more information on compatibility and cables, please contact Bose. Refer to the address list provided with your LIFESTYLE® system. Español Français To add more rooms of sound To set up Bose® link products in multiple rooms, you can connect Bose SA-2 and SA-3 amplifiers in a daisychain arrangement. To include more than one non-amplifier solution, such as a 3·2·1 or Wave® product, you need the 50-foot extension/expansion cable from Bose. This cable connects to the Bose® link jack on your system media center, or to the pass through jack on the last connected amplifier. Then, at the other end, its 4-jack connector allows you to connect more products. To purchase the extension/expansion cable from your authorized Bose dealer, ask for part number 275475-050. Or, to contact Bose directly, refer to the address list provided with your LIFESTYLE® system. Svenska Nederlands Italiano 6 Preparing the Remote Getting the remote ready to use Preparing the Remote You can use your RC-18S remote control as soon as the batteries are installed. It is pre-set at the factory for use outside the main room where your LIFESTYLE® system is located, in an area where another Bose® system or speaker pair is set up. Or, you can use it as a secondary remote in the same room with the LIFESTYLE® system instead. To learn how to set switches inside the battery compartment for that purpose, refer to "How to change the settings, as needed" on page 15. English Dansk Deutsch To install batteries 1. Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote. Note: You may notice the small switches just above the batteries inside the compartment. These are the house code, stream selection, and room code switches, explained on page 12. 2. As you install the four supplied batteries, match the polarity markings (+ and ­) on each one to markings inside the battery compartment (Figure 2).
