Connecting additional rooms
Follow the placement guidelines for the Bose
®
powered speakers that you plan to connect.
Then review your plan for how to connect these speakers to the multi-room interface in your
primary room. If you have questions or need extension cables to complete the connections,
call Bose Customer Service at the numbers listed on the back inside cover of this owners
guide.
CAUTION:
Make sure all components are unplugged from the power outlet before you
begin hooking up additional speakers.
Connect the audio input cable from your additional powered speakers to the selected ROOM
jack on the back of the multi-room interface.
1. Plug the small black multi-pin connector (flat side facing up) into the jack marked
ROOM B, C, or D on the back of the interface.
2. Follow the instructions that came with your speakers for connecting the cable to the
speakers.
Note:
Be sure that each connector is inserted completely into each jack.

Note:
If you connect Bose powered home theater speakers to your Lifestyle
®
40 music
system, it automatically offers controls for the SPEAKERS and FILM BASS options:
Initially, the AM and FM sources turn on in 2-speaker mode (front right and front left). All
other sources initially turn on in 5-speaker mode.
Select SPEAKERS by pressing the MENU button. Use this option to select 5-, 3-, or 2-
speaker mode and to adjust center and surround volume levels.
FILM BASS is an enhanced listening mode designed for proper playback of movie
soundtracks. When this mode is active, the words FILM BASS appear on the touchscreen. If
you connect Bose powered home theater speakers to your Lifestyle
®
40 music system, the
FILM BASS feature is available for VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, AUX, or TAPE. To turn FILM BASS on or
off for these inputs, press the FILM BASS button.
Since the SPEAKER and FILM BASS options do not apply for stereo use, these controls do
not appear when you use Bose powered stereo speakers.
