ADDING SOUND TO ANOTHER ROOM (235/135/V35/V25 ONLY)
Expanding your system
Your LIFESTYLE® 235/135 or V35/V25 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.
Note: This feature is not available on T20 and T10 systems, and systems sold in Japan.
Expansion guidelines
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:
• 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 that room must be set to the same house
code that is stored in the control console.
Your system is set to house code 15 at the factory. To see the house code, select
Homewide in the UNIFY
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.
®
menu and then select house code. On the screen, you will
Note: Switching between Standard and Alternative house code modes resets the house code to zero.
• Audio connections for a second room – To hear audio in another room from any
device connected to HDMITM 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.
