POWER ON/OFF CONTROLS
Starting your system
Turning on your TV
Press the power button on the remote or on the
console.
If you programmed your remote during the initial
setup, press the TV power button on the remote
control to turn on your TV. Otherwise, use the
remote that came with your TV.
To keep energy consumption to a minimum, the system
operates in a very low power state when in standby (off)
mode. Because of this, the system requires several
seconds to start. The power LED on the console
changes to blinking green while the system starts up.
When it changes from blinking to solid green, your
system is on and ready to use.
Shutting down your system
Press the power button on the remote or on
the control console. The system will shut down
automatically after a few seconds. However, if
you decide to access the power controls for
connected devices, automatic shutdown will be
stopped and you must complete the shutdown
using the on-screen controls.
Pressing the remote SOURCE button also
starts your system and puts the SOURCE
menu on your TV screen.
Pressing the Setup button on the console
also starts your system and puts the Setup
menu on your TV screen.

ADDING SOUND TO ANOTHER ROOM (V25 AND V35 SYSTEMS)*
that room must be set to the same house code that is
stored in the control console.
Expanding your system
®
®
Your system is set to house code 15 at the factory.
To see the house code, select Homewide in the
Setup menu and then select house code. On the
screen, you will see the house code and a
representation of how the second room remote
control switches should be set to match the house
code in the control console.
Your system has two house code modes. The
Standard mode provides 16 house codes and
16 room codes. If you live in a multi-unit dwelling,
you can select the Alternative mode that provides
64 house codes and 4 room codes.
Your LIFESTYLE system can deliver Bose quality
sound in up to 14 additional rooms in your home.
Connecting a Bose link-compatible product to the
Bose link OUT connector on the control console
enables you to listen to a different sound source in
other rooms. For example, a DVD movie can be playing
in the main room while you listen to the AM/FM radio in
the other room.
For more information or to purchase additional
products, contact your local Bose dealer. See the
contact list included with your system.
Expansion guidelines
Note: Switching between Standard and Alternative
house code modes resets the house code to zero (0).
To set up a Bose link-compatible system in another
room, follow the instructions included with the
expansion product and be aware of the following:
• Using HDMI connections – To hear audio in
another room from any device connected to HDMI
input 1, 2, or 3, you must also make an analog audio
connection between the device and the left (L) and
right (R) analog connections for that input. Likewise,
you must also make analog audio connections if a
digital audio connection is made for input 4 or 5.
• Radio operation – Using an expansion room
remote, you can select and control the radio that
is built into the control console in the main room.
However, if both rooms want to listen to the radio
at the same time, they can only listen to the same
station.
• Bose link connections – Your system cannot
operate with Bose link-enabled products connected
to both the Bose link IN and Bose link OUT
connectors at the same time.
• Room codes – The speaker system and the remote
in your other room must be set to the same room
code. See the owner’s guide that came with the Bose
link product for information on setting room codes.
• House code – The house code is what enables the
remote control in another room to communicate with
the control console. If you set up a Bose link-enabled
speaker system in another room, the remote used in
