Before you beginThank you for purchasing the Bose® Lifestyle® 50 system. Years of research lie behind thiscomplete audio home entertainment system – the most advanced home theater system fromBose. Technological innovations that make the Lifestyle® 50 system unique include the BosePersonal™ music center, which places all system operations in the palm of your hand, andtiny Jewel Cube® speakers.

The interactive Personal music center is a clear departure from convention, communicatingwith the system through a two-way radio data link. The result for you is full control of thisentertainment system as you move about your home.

The Bose Jewel Cube speakers are also far from conventional. Proprietary technologiesensure that these tiny speakers not only fill a room with sound, but also reproduce it moreaccurately than traditionally designed loudspeakers.

The other elements of the Lifestyle® 50 system are designed to be hidden from view:• The elegant Lifestyle® CD changer, designed to give you flexibility in where it is placed• The hideaway powered Acoustimass® module that delivers the rich, full, lifelike bass• The Bose multi-room interface, with four independent audio outputs that allow you to

enjoy Bose sound throughout your home.

Realism and impactYour Lifestyle® 50 system is equipped with an all new Videostage® decoder that uses digitalsignal processing. The result is increased surround sound realism and impact both for moviesoundtracks and music recordings. The Videostage decoder processes analog formats, aswell as two or even single-channel PCM and Dolby Digital bitstreams, and helps to deliver theacoustic experience of the movies right in your home.

CompatibilityYour system is fully compatible with:

• Digital-audio bitstreams. Look for the symbol 1 or the terms Dolby Digital orPCM on DVD-Video disks. Your Lifestyle® 50 system cannot process MPEG-2 or DTSdigital bitstreams.

• Surround-sound sources such as VCRs, stereo TVs, cable boxes and satellitereceivers. Videostage decoding directs stereo information to the surround channels, sothe sound of stereo broadcasts and rented or recorded tapes can approach that ofyour DVD disks.

• Surround-encoded analog or digital audio signals. Look for the terms Surround orDolby Surround, or the symbol 3 on tapes and discs, and the word “sur-round” preceding a TV broadcast.

• Stereo program material from TV, FM, CD and cassette. Videostage decodingdelivers five channels, even when the original source contained only one or two.

• Monoaural program material. Videostage decoding can process a one-channelprogram into five-channel sound and direct the result to five independent speakers.Dialogue remains locked on-screen, while music and ambient effects fill the room.

Automatic sound level monitoring and controlYour enjoyment of movies is enhanced by Digital Dynamic Range® compression. This technol-ogy automatically monitors and adjusts the volume to let you to hear soft sounds, particularlydialogue, but prevents you from being overwhelmed by loud special effects. This is especiallyuseful for late night viewing – it eliminates the need to constantly adjust the volume.

Setting Up

Selecting the locations for your Lifestyle® 50 systemWhen you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reflectedand direct sound provides the audio atmosphere of a home theater. You may experiment withthe placement and orientation of the Jewel Cube® speakers and Acoustimass® module toproduce the sound most pleasing to you. For more discussion of speaker placement androom acoustics, see “Fine-tuning your system” on page 36.

Jewel Cube speakersFollow these guidelines to select locations that provide the maximum home theater effectfrom your Lifestyle® 50 system (Figures 2 and 3).

CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your Jewel Cube speakers. Vibration cancause the speakers to move, particularly on very smooth surfaces. For stability, peel off thebacking from the two identical rubber feet and center them in the matching shapes on thebottom of each speaker.

Left and right front speakersThe sound from the left and right front speakers should seem to appear at the edge of thepicture, so that the acoustic image is close to the size of the visual image (Figure 2). The frontspeaker cables allow up to 20 feet (6.1 m) from the Acoustimass module.

1. Place the left and right front speakers so that they line up with the center of the TV screen.

2. Place them up to 3 feet (1 m) from the edge of the TV screen.

We recommend the 3-foot (1 m) maximum distance so that the sound does not becometoo separated from the picture. You may wish to vary this distance based on room condi-tions and personal preference.

3. Direct one cube of each speaker forward. Direct the other cube toward the wall or in adifferent direction to create reflected sound. See the illustration of suggested reflectedsound patterns in Figure 3.

Note: The Jewel Cube speakers are magnetically shielded so you can place them close tothe TV without affecting picture quality.

Speaker placement

Setting Up

Center speakerThe sound from the center speaker should appear to come directly from the center of thepicture (Figure 2). The center speaker cable allows up to 20 feet (6.1 m) from the Acoustimassmodule.Note: Do not place the speaker on its side, as this diminishes performance by blocking theJewel Cube ports.

1. Place the center speaker directly above or below the center of the TV screen, or at theclosest convenient location.

2. Align the speaker with the front of the TV screen (not pushed to the back of the TV).

3. Direct each cube speaker slightly away from center, to create a wider area of direct sound(Figure 3).

Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the frontedge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of thesound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.

Surround speakersThe surround (rear) speakers create an area of sound around the listener. Place them in theback half of your room. The surround cables allow up to 50 feet (15.2 m) from theAcoustimass module.

1. Place the speakers at ear height or higher, if possible.

2. Adjust the rear surround speakers to direct the sound to the front and back of the listener(Figure 3).

Acoustimass® moduleFollow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module.Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least18 inches (45 cm) from the TV.

1. Place the Acoustimass module along the same the wall or close to the same end of theroom as the Jewel Cube® speakers (see the example along the front wall in Figure 3).

2. Select a convenient location – under a table, behind a sofa. Do not allow furniture ordrapes to block the ventilation openings of the module.

3. Place the Acoustimass module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, andan AC power (mains) outlet.

4. Select a position for the Acoustimass module (Figure 4). For proper ventilation, place it onthe long edge, with the connectors facing the floor. An alternate position is on its largestside, with the bass and treble controls facing up. Do not place the module on either end,as shown by the last two views in Figure 4.

Figure 4

Acoustimass module positions

Preferredposition

Alternate position

5. Once you have selected a position for the module, place the four self-adhesive rubber feetnear the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased stability andprotection from scratches.

6. Aim the port (the round opening) into the room or along the wall to avoid blocking the portor creating too much bass.

7. For best bass performance, do not place the port at equal distances from any two walls orfrom a wall and the ceiling.

CAUTION: Do not cover the ventilation openings of the Acoustimass module. The slots onthe end provide ventilation for the built-in electronic circuitry, and should not be blocked.

CAUTION: The magnetic field from the Acoustimass module is not an immediate risk toyour video tapes, audio tapes, and other magnetic media. However, you should not storetapes directly on or near the Acoustimass module.

Multi-room interfaceSelect a location for the multi-room interface. It may be placed out of sight if you like.

1. Place the multi-room interface within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustimass module (thelength of the audio input cable).

2. Place the multi-room interface close enough to the sound sources (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.) toallow for cable length. If you need additional audio and/or video cables to connect all ofyour components, see your dealer or call Bose® Customer Service.

CD changerSelect a convenient location for the CD changer.

1. Place the CD changer on a level surface. Allow enough room to lift the door.

2. Place the CD changer close enough to the multi-room interface to allow for cable lengthof 6 feet (2 m).

Connecting your home theater components to the Lifestyle® 50 systemThere are many possible variations of equipment in a home theater system. In addition to theLifestyle® 50 system, a home theater typically includes a stereo or mono TV and stereo VCR.In a digital home theater system, the primary source may be a DVD player. Your home theatermight also include other types of equipment such as cable TV, laserdisc players, CDI players,additional VCRs, and a satellite decoder.

Note: A mono TV only serves as a display for the video, not as a source for the audio.

In order for the Lifestyle® 50 system to provide home theater effects, the program materialmust be in stereo or surround-encoded, and the device playing the material must be stereo.Look for the word “surround” on the tape, CD, or preceding the TV broadcast. To hear stereoor surround sound from encoded video tapes, you must have a stereo (HiFi) VCR. While notall VCRs deliver stereo, all CD, DVD, and CDI players and nearly all laserdisc players do.

Note: Line level outputs from most VCRs or laserdisc players are fixed. If your VCR, laserdiscplayer, or other video sound source has fixed and variable outputs, use the fixed outputs.

Setting up a digital sound sourceConnect a DTV or DVD player’s digital output directly to the female RCA jack on the audioinput cable. Connect the DVD player’s analog output to the AUX inputs of the multi-roominterface. If your Lifestyle® system receives a valid digital signal, including PCM or DolbyDigital bitstreams, this digital sound is used. If no valid digital signal is received, your systemselects the analog signal sent to the AUX inputs. The analog signal is processed by theVideostage® decoder to give you excellent home theater sound. If your digital audio sourcehas an optical connector, you will need an adapter with an RCA (coaxial) connector. Consultyour dealer or contact Bose®.

Note: Ensure the connection between the digital source and the Lifestyle® system is madeusing a 3 to 6 foot (1 to 2 m) standard audio cable or video cable. For longer lengths, use a75 ohm cable.

Figure 11

Video sound source connec-tions to the multi-room interface

Setting up a video sound sourceThe Lifestyle® 50 system has two sets of video sound inputs, VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2, for yournon-digital video sound sources, such as your TV or VCR (Figure 11).

Note: Your Lifestyle® 50 system includes one 6-foot (1.8 m) stereo cable to connect the right(R) and left (L) audio outputs from a component to the multi-room interface inputs. Cablesmay also be supplied with your components. If needed, audio cables are available at manyelectronics stores, or call Bose. Most audio cables are color coded. Match red connectors toright (R) jacks and black or white connectors to left (L) jacks.

How to set up your home theaterThere are two basic methods for setting up your home theater. It is best to connect compo-nents directly to the Lifestyle® 50 multi-room interface, and select the sound source using thePersonal™ music center. A second option is to use a stereo TV as the switching center toselect the sound source. In each example, the analog outputs from the DVD player or otherdigital device are connected to the AUX inputs. You may need extra long audio cables orextensions for some of these connections.

Preferred method: Connect video sound sources directly to the Lifestyle® 50system (Figure 12)You may connect up to three video sound sources directly to your Lifestyle® 50 system. Forexample, connect the analog outputs of your DVD player to AUX, the VCR fixed outputs toVIDEO 1, and the TV to VIDEO 2 on the back of the multi-room interface. Connect the coaxialdigital audio output from your DVD player to the female RCA coaxial connector on the audioinput cable (connecting the multi-room interface with the module) using a male-to-male RCAaudio cable.

If a valid digital signal is received by the Lifestyle® 50 system through the audio input cable,the system plays that audio source. If no valid digital signal is received, the system selectsthe analog audio signal sent to AUX.

When connecting your TV:

• Connect the TV fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO 2 inputs on the multi-room interface.

• Turn the TV speakers off or the volume all the way down. (If there is an internal/externalspeakers switch, select external speakers. Do not connect any speakers to the TV.)

• Turn off any special TV settings such as expanded stereo, mega-bass, phantom orSAP. They prevent proper surround sound processing through your Lifestyle® system.

• Set the TV balance control to the center of the dial or range.

• Set tone controls to flat or the middle position (neutral).

• Set TV to the stereo position.

Alternate method: Connect video sound sources to your TV (Figure 13)If your stereo TV has fixed audio outputs (audio outputs that do not change when you adjustthe TV volume) and it allows you to select the source of the signal (VCR, laserdisc, cable,etc.), then you can:

• Connect your DVD player L and R outputs to the AUX inputs of the multi-room inter-face.

• Connect the DVD video output to one of the video inputs on the TV.

• Connect the coaxial digital audio output from your DVD player to the female RCAconnection on the audio input cable (connecting the multi-room interface with themodule) using a male-to-male RCA cable.

• Connect the TV fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO 1 inputs of the multi-room interface.

• Turn the TV speakers off or the volume all the way down. (If there is an internal/externalspeakers switch, select external speakers. Do not connect any speakers to the TV.)

• Turn off any special TV settings such as expanded stereo, mega-bass, phantom orSAP. They prevent proper surround processing through your Lifestyle® system.

• Set the TV balance control to the center of the dial or range.

• Set tone controls to flat or the middle position (neutral).

• Set TV to the stereo position.

Note: If necessary, as a second choice, you can use the variable audio outputs from yourstereo TV. Turn off or disconnect the TV’s speakers and leave the volume control up – close tothe maximum setting.

Note: If you connect your stereo VCR through your stereo TV, do not use coaxial cable.Instead, connect the VCR L and R audio outputs to the TV L and R audio inputs to ensureproper stereo and surround sound.

Listening to the systemYour Lifestyle® 50 system uses digital signal processing to bring even greater realism andimpact to both movies and music recordings. Built-in Dolby Digital decoding delivers up to5.1 discrete audio channels (that is, five for the independent Jewel Cube® speakers and onefor rich bass from the Acoustimass® module) from DVD, digital TV, next-generation cableboxes, and satellite receivers. With analog formats, as well as for two-channel PCM andDolby Digital bitstreams, Videostage® decoding steers front information to the left, center, andright, and directs surround information to the left and right rear channels. As a result, thesound of stereo broadcasts and rented or recorded tapes can approach that of your DVDdiscs.

In addition, Videostage decoding can process a one-channel program and direct five-channelsound to five independent speakers. Dialogue remains locked on-screen, while music andambient effects fill the room to increase your listening enjoyment.

You may choose to listen through two, three, or five speakers. Traditional stereo may beenjoyed through two or more speakers. Listening through three or five speakers helps anchorthe dialogue of movies to the picture and provides a more solid image for music vocals. Forthe greatest surround effect, listening through five speakers gives you the most convincingsound experience.

Selecting the number of speakersInitially, the AM and FM sources turn on in 2-speaker mode (front right and front left). All othersources initially turn on in 5-speaker mode. To change the speakers setting, press the MENUbutton until SPEAKERS is displayed (Figure 23). Use the or arrow buttons to changespeaker mode from 5 to 3 or 2. Speaker settings are remembered for source and room.

Treble

Bass


Fine-tuning your systemIn most situations, you only need to follow the speaker placement guidelines (see “SettingUp” on pages 6-8) for your system to provide excellent sound quality. You do not need toadjust tone settings for changes in volume, since Bose® patented integrated signal process-ing provides a natural tonal balance over the full range of volume settings.

If desired, you can further fine-tune your system as described here.

Adjusting speaker controlsThe Lifestyle® 50 system treble and bass controls are located on the Acoustimass® module(Figure 39). They allow you to adjust the treble (high frequencies) and bass (low frequencies).In the normal setting, the dots on each control are in the 12 o’clock position. You can alsolocate the normal setting by feeling when the control settles into the notch at this position.Turn the controls clockwise to increase, and counterclockwise to decrease, the amount oftreble or bass.

Compensating for room acousticsThe acoustics (sound qualities) of your room can affect the overall sound quality of anyspeaker system. In general, you can reduce many problems with acoustics by the careful useof the treble and bass controls.

Too much or too little trebleRooms that reflect a lot of sound, especially those with bare floors and walls, may soundoverly shrill or “bright.” Turning down the treble control (toward – ) decreases treble sound.

Rooms with a lot of sound-absorbing furnishings, such as upholstered furniture, wall-to-wallcarpet, or heavy drapes, may sound muffled or dull. Moving speakers further away from softfurnishings increases treble. You can increase treble sound by slightly turning up the treblecontrol (toward + ).

Too much or too little bassYou can decrease bass sound by turning down the bass control (toward – ). To increase bass,turn up the bass control (toward + ). Acoustimass module placement also affects the amountof bass you hear. Placing the module closer to the corner of the room increases bass. Movingthe module away from the corner decreases bass.

Optimizing AM/FM radio receptionYou can adjust the orientation of your AM/FM antenna for the strongest signal by selectingSIGNAL LEVELS with the MENU button (Figure 40). Select the AM or FM radio, and thedisplay shows you the strength level of the received signal. While watching the display,reposition your antenna until the highest possible signal level is achieved. The signal level canvary from 0 to 99. The manual tuning keys are provided so that you can check the signalstrengths of multiple stations.

AM189854_05_V.PDF October 17, 2001 37


Equalizing the volume levels of external sourcesThe SIGNAL LEVELS selection in the MENU options allows you to adjust and equalize thevolume gain levels received from externally connected sources (VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, AUX, TAPE).For example, you can adjust the gain level of an external source so that volume level 50 on thissource sounds as loud as level 50 from a built-in source.

1. Using the MENU button, select SIGNAL LEVELS.

2. Press VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, TAPE or AUX and you are shown a gain adjustment display(Figure 41). After listening to the built-in sources (FM, AM, CD) at your preferred volumelevel, use the arrow keys to adjust the signal level settings (GAIN) of the connectedsources until you get the same volumes. The adjustment range is from –15 to +15.
