Operating Information
Switching sources
After adding the VS-1 to your system setup, switching sources is greatly
simplified. Just press the remote button (CD/DVD, VCR, CBL/SAT, or AUX)
for the source you want to use. If you select one of the sources connected
to the VS-1, make sure the source is turned on.
Selecting the TV source
If you select the TV source, you will hear the audio source that is con-
nected to the TV audio input jack on your media center, but your TV will
display the video of the last video source selected. You may need to select
another video input on your TV to see the corresponding video. When you
press TV on the remote, “Choose TV INPUT” appears on the media center
display, reminding you to switch TV inputs if necessary.
TV
Choose TV INPUT
Selecting a non-video source
If you select a non-video source (such as FM, AM, audio CD), the VS-1
continues to send the output of the last-selected video source to your TV
screen. This feature allows you to view the video portion of a program on
your TV while listening to the audio portion from another source. For
example, you can watch a ball game while listening to the program audio
from a local radio station.

Limited Warranty
Bose Corporation
The Mountain
Framingham, MA 01701
Other Rights:
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY:
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE PROVIDED THAT THE CURRENT
OWNER FURNISHES THE ORIGINAL PROOF OF PURCHASE FROM AN AUTHORIZED
BOSE DEALER. THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF BOSE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE
ACTUAL PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY YOU FOR THE PRODUCT. IN NO EVENT SHALL
BOSE BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAM-
AGES. SOME PLACES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITA-
TION OF RELIEF, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES
OF THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY TO SPECIFIED AMOUNTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITA-
TIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
What is covered:
All parts defective in material and workmanship. This limited warranty for the LIFESTYLE®
system VS-1 Video Expander covers the functionality of the system for its normal, intended
use as specified in the Owner’s Guide and does not cover a malfunction that has resulted
from improper or unreasonable use or maintenance, accident, excess moisture, improper
packing, lightning, power surges, or unauthorized tampering, alteration or modification
while not under the control of Bose. Bose® systems are not designed to be used in every
environment, so please review your Owner’s Guide.
WHERE PERMITTED, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE IN LIEU OF
ANY OTHER WRITTEN WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR
ORAL, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
OTHER CONDITIONS:
FOR YOUR BENEFIT, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU RECORD YOUR SERIAL NUM-
BERS(S), FOUND ON THE PRODUCT(S), AND OTHER PURCHASE INFORMATION, AND
KEEP IT WITH YOUR PERSONAL RECORDS ALONG WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE. IF
NECESSARY, THIS INFORMATION WILL ALLOW US TO BETTER SERVE YOUR NEEDS.
Notwithstanding the above, in the United States, where applicable, if you qualify as a
“consumer” under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, then you may be entitled to any
implied warranties allowed by law for the period of the express Limited Warranty as set
forth below. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied Limited War-
ranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC RIGHTS SUBJECT TO SPECIFIED
CONDITIONS. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH APPLY TO THE
PRODUCT YOU HAVE ACQUIRED. THESE LEGAL RIGHTS VARY FROM STATE TO
STATE OR COUNTRY TO COUNTRY. SOME PLACES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLU-
SION, RESTRICTION OR MODIFICATION OF CERTAIN IMPLIED RIGHTS OR THEIR
EFFECT. IN THOSE SITUATIONS THIS LIMITED WARRANTY WILL ONLY APPLY TO THE
EXTENT THAT THE APPLICABLE LAW ALLOWS. OTHER LAWS PROVIDE YOU WITH A
STATUTORY CLAIM AGAINST THE SELLER.
For how long:
In countries where the duration of the warranty is not determined by statute, the Bose
Limited Warranty lasts one year from the purchase date. For countries where minimum
warranty terms are determined by statute, the warranty term is the longer of the statutory
period or the term listed above.
The laws of your state or country may provide you with legal claims against the seller or
manufacturer of this product. The Limited Warranty does not affect those rights.
What we will do:
Remedies:
At our option, we will repair or replace any defective parts within a reasonable period of
time and free of charge.
The provisions of this Limited Warranty are in lieu of any other warranties or conditions,
except those provided by law. This Limited Warranty does not affect any legal rights pro-
vided to you by law and does not preclude any legal remedy you may have under the law.
How you can obtain warranty service:
1. You can ship the system to either a Bose Service Agency or to Bose directly with a
proof of purchase from an authorized dealer. Please:
This Limited Warranty is fully transferable provided that the current owner furnishes the
original proof of purchase from an authorized Bose dealer.
A. Properly and carefully pack the product for shipping.
This Limited Warranty is void if the label bearing the serial number has been removed or
defaced.
If you need a carton for shipping, contact Bose for a new carton
B. Label and ship the product to the appropriate Bose location
C. Please contact Bose to get a return reference number. Place this number promi-
nently on the outside of the carton.
2. You can return the system with proof of purchase from an authorized dealer to a
Bose Service Agency or directly to Bose. Proof of purchase is not required where it
is excluded by statute.
