Bose Lifestyle 48 Installation guide - Page 5

English Introduction Before you begin Thank you for your purchase of a Bose® LIFESTYLE® DVD home entertainment system. It will serve as the center of your home theater, providing superior audio performance for music and movies. There are four different systems, the LIFESTYLE® 18 Series II, LIFESTYLE® 28 Series II, LIFESTYLE® 38, and the LIFESTYLE® 48 systems. All include multiple room connections, most include the AdaptiQ® audio calibration system, and the LIFESTYLE® 38, and LIFESTYLE® 48 systems have the uMusic® intelligent playback system. This book shows you: • The components included with your system and how to set the system up. The pictures on the next two pages will help you become familiar with each part of your system. First you will set up the audio portion of the system. You will find the best locations for your media center, cube speakers, and Acoustimass® module. You will identify and connect the cables that are specific to each part of the system, the AM and FM antennas, and the power cords. • How to make a basic connection between your LIFESTYLE® system and your television, which will allow you to see the on-screen menus. Your Operating Guide offers information on other aspects of the use of your system. • How to power up the system and optimize its sound for the component placement you have selected in your room. • How to connect other pieces of equipment, such as VCRs, cable or satellite boxes, DVD changers, game consoles, and recording equipment, to make an even more versatile home theater system. The instructions in this section help you connect your system in your main room. However, if you wish to extend your system's sound to other rooms, read the special considerations in "Expanding your system to other rooms" on page 32 before you make any connections. Special indicator used in this book A box with dotted lines identifies parts which vary with different systems or in different countries. Unpacking After unpacking your new system, save all packing materials; they may be useful as a safe way to transport your system. If any part of your system is missing or appears damaged, contact your authorized Bose dealer immediately, or contact Bose directly. Refer to the Bose address list included in the carton. The drawings on these pages show the components of several LIFESTYLE® DVD entertainment systems. Your system will have one of the three types of cube speakers shown. 5
