tem in your living room, kitchen, bedroom or any other room in your home.

This product works with LIFESTYLE®48, 38, 28 Series II and 18 Series II DVD home enter-

tainment systems.

An AUX IN jack on the rear panel allows you to listen to an external audio device through this

remarkable speaker, even if it is disconnected from your home entertainment system.

Connecting the speaker to your LIFESTYLE®system

Using the supplied Bose®link “B” cable, connect your RoomMate®speaker to the media 

center as shown in Figure 4.

Your LIFESTYLE®RoomMate®speaker is shipped from the factory already set up to operate

in a Bose link network using room code I. If room code Iis already assigned to another Bose

link product in your home, you will need to change the room code. For more information, see

“Changing the room code for your RoomMatespeaker system” on page 11.

Bose link “B” cable

If you already have one Bose®link product

If you already have a Bose®link cable plugged into the Bose link speakers jack, you will

need to obtain a Bose link extension/expansion cable. This will enable you to connect

both your existing Bose link cable and your new Bose link B cable to your media center.

Another solution is to purchase the AL8 Homewide Wireless Audio Link. This product can

provide wireless communication to both your existing Bose link product and your new

LIFESTYLE®RoomMate speaker system.

For more information on either of these solutions, contact Bose Customer Service. Refer

to the Bose address list included with your LIFESTYLE®home entertainment system.

Installing batteries in the PERSONALmusic center II

The PERSONAL®music center II is shipped from the factory already set up to operate your

system using room code I. If room code Iis already assigned to another Bose®link product in

your home, you will need to change the room code. Refer to “When to change the room

code” on page 19.

Note: Make sure the room code assigned to your PERSONAL®music center II is the same room

code assigned to your RoomMate®speaker system. See “Changing the room code for your

RoomMatespeaker system” on page 11.

To begin using your PERSONAL®music center II with your LIFESTYLE®system, just install the

supplied batteries as follows:

1. On the back of the PERSONAL®music center II, slide the battery compartment cover off

(Figure 6).

2. Install the four AA (IEC LR6) batteries, matching the polarity markings (+ and –) to the

markings inside the battery compartment (Figure 6).

3. Slide the battery cover back into place.

SETUP

EnglishFrançais Español

Adding an external audio source

You can use your RoomMate®speaker to listen to an external audio source such as a TV, or a

portable CD or MP3 player. Just plug the output cable from your source into the The AUX IN

jack on the rear panel of your speaker. The cable must be equipped with a male 3.5 mm (1/8")

stereo plug.

For operating instructions on listening to an external audio source, refer to “Listening to Your

Local Source” on page 29.

Note: The PERSONAL®music center II will not operate any external audio device connected to

the AUX IN jack.

Using an external source without a Bose®link connection

When your RoomMate speaker is disconnected from a Bose link network, the AUX IN source

is automatically selected. This means that you can listen to an external audio source without

using your PERSONAL

music center II. 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 audio at any time.
