A

of
more
than
one
room
or
ar
ea.
In
such
case
more
than
one
Bose
Lifestyle"
powered
speaker
sys-
tem
will
be
required.
All
speakers
in
one
zone
must
be
con-
nected
using
a
"daisy
chain"
method.
For
example:
Ina
two-sta
yhorne,
the
entire
tower

could
be
Zone
1
and
multiple
rooms
in
Me

be
assigned
as
Zone
2.
Use
of
Y
connectors
is
necessary
for
multi

applications.
When
more

by
a

speaker
sys-
tems
with
built-in

such
as

Listening
in
More
Than
One
Zone
to
take
full
advantage
of
your
Lifestyle
music
center,
you
will
want
to
learn
how
to
control
the
system's
functions
from
both
Zone
1
and
Zone
2.
Listening
in
more
than
one
zone
will
help
you
to
appreciate
the
freedom
provided
by
the
Lifestyle
music
system.
The
ability
to
change
the
control
priority
from
one
zone
to
another
is
the
key
to
the
system's
versatility.
(See
-
Zones
—
A
New
Concept:)
How
To
Change
the
Control
Priority
When
listening
to
a
sound
source
that
was
originally
selected
in
another
zone,
you
will
find
that
you
may
listen.
but
cannot
control
(in
other
words,
you
can
monitor
only)
what
is
playing.
That
is
because
the
zone
that
originates
the
command
of
a
function
(CD.
tuner,
etc)
has
control
priority
over
that
function.
To
gain
control
priority
of
the
sound
source
using
the
remote
control,
simply
set
the
ZONE
switch
to
the
other
zone
(the
one
that
first
selected
that
sound
source).
Now
you
can
control
the
sound
source
commands.
You
can
achieve
the
sane
result
by
using
the
ZONE
key
of
the
Music
Center.
For
example:
You
initiateCD
play
in
Zone
1.
Later,
you
go
to
Zone
2
and
start
monitoring
the
CD
music.
You
discover
that
you
cannot
operate
CD
functions
f
tom
Zone
2.
You
can
gain
control
by
setting
the
ZONE
switch
on
the
remote
control
to
Zone
1.
Now
theCDcommandscan
be
given
while
you
are
in
Zone
2.
Be
sure
to
set
the
ZONEswitch
back
to
Zone
2
if
you
wish
to
adjust
the
volume
of
the
speakers
in
Zone
2.
You
can
also
gain
control
in
one
zone
by
turning
off
the
other
zone,
if
no
one
is
listening
there.
For
example:
Zone
1
selects
TUNER.
Zone
2
monitors
the
TUNER,
but
has
no
control.
Later,
if
no
one
is
in
Zone
1.
Zone
2
can
turn
off
Zone
1
using
the
remote
control.
This
gives
TUNER
control
to
Zone
2.
To
relinquish
zone
control
priority,
simply
select
another
source
for
that
zone,
or
turn
it
off.
For
example:
Zone
2starts
BCD.
Zone
1
selects
CD
also.
but
has
no
control
of
its
functions.
When
Zone
2
switches
to
oo
radio
listening.
Zone
1
is
no
longer
lockedout"of
CC
i
funcb'
control
and
can
now
stop,
pause,
skip,
program,
or
perform
any
CD
function.
Control
remains
with
Zone
1,
even
if
Zone
2
later
returns
to
CD
listening.
