This means that you can listen to an external audio source without using your PERSONAL® music center II or RC18S remote control. Use the volume control on your external device to set the volume level of the speaker. You can still use the mute switch on the front of the speaker to mute the sound at any time.

Language (Use ONLY when the situation underlined on the right occurs.) Version (not adjustable) The importance of room codes Your PERSONAL® music center II is preset at the factory to be used in a Bose® link room, while the LIFESTYLE® system media centre and primary remote are preset for use in the main room. By using unique room codes, your LIFESTYLE® system can identify the origin of the instructions it receives so that it can respond in the appropriate room. If only your RoomMate® speaker system is set up in one Bose® link room, the PERSONAL® music centre should remain set to Room Code I, as shown (Figure 14). Figure 14 Room Code I setting on the PERSONAL® music center II display However, if you want to use more than one PERSONAL® music center II, or other LIFESTYLE® system remotes in your home, these will all need different room codes. 19 Svenska Nederlands Italiano Français Español Deutsch Dansk English USING THE PERSONAL® MUSIC CENTER II When to change the room code · If you have already set up other Bose® link rooms. There are 14 room codes in addition to Room A. USING THE PERSONAL® MUSIC CENTER II · If you prefer to use your PERSONAL® music center II in the main room, in addition to the primary remote control, it must be set for Room A. · The PERSONAL® music center II and your RoomMate® speaker must have identical room codes. Like the PERSONAL® music center II, the RoomMate speaker system is preset at the factory for Room I. If you change this setting for any reason, you must also change the PERSONAL® music center II to the same room code (see "Changing the room code for your RoomMate® speaker system" on page 12). To find out how to select a different room code, see "To change settings for a feature" on page 18. Note: For more details about room code, refer to the operating guide supplied with your LIFESTYLE® system. Why would you change the house code? Your PERSONAL® music center II is preset at the factory with a house code that is identical to the factory setting on other LIFESTYLE® systems and remote controls. If you have not changed the house code setting in your LIFESTYLE® system, there is no need to change that code in your PERSONAL® music center II. A LIFESTYLE® system radio frequency (RF) remote has a long range and can penetrate walls. Therefore the signals from a remote in one home may reach and affect the operation of a LIFESTYLE® system in another. Changing the house code for the system and all the remotes used with it avoids this type of potential interference. To find out how to select a different house code, see "To change settings for a feature" on page 18. Note: For more details about the system house code, refer to the operating guide supplied with your system. Audio streams multiply your options While the LIFESTYLE® system is playing in the main room, you can use your PERSONAL® music center II in another room to play a completely different choice from the very same system. This is because the system uses two independent audio streams to deliver the sound. Therefore, while the Audio 1 stream fills the main room with spine-tingling DVD special effects, you can move to another room and switch to FM radio on the other stream. Although the PERSONAL® music center II is preset at the factory to control the Audio 2 stream, you can easily change it to Audio 1 ­ the stream that supplies sound in the main room. For example, there may be times when you don't want to hear what is playing in one of your multiple Bose® link rooms. Without disturbing the person enjoying sound on the Audio 2 stream there, you can switch to Audio 1, which may not otherwise be in use. This option also allows people in different rooms to use the uMusicTM system when two different presets are selected. To find out how to select a different audio stream, see "To change settings for a feature" on page 18. 20 English Dansk Deutsch Español Français Italiano Nederlands Svenska USING THE PERSONAL® MUSIC CENTER II Listening to your LIFESTYLE® System Press , to switch on your PERSONAL® music center II to the last source selected on the selected audio stream.
