Introduction to the Bose Lifestyle Music System The Bose Lifestyle music system is quite different from con- A ventional audio systems. Ordinary designs simply play musiSi one source, in one room or area at a time. The Lifestyle music system can play two different sources of stereo music simultaneously in two separate rooms or listening areas of your home, called ‘zones" (see the "Zones A New Concept" section of this manual). Listening in more than one Zone will help you to appreciate the freedom provided by the Lifestyle music system. Ordinary systems with remote control require that you be in direct sight of the system to give it commands. The Lifestyle music system's operation can be entirety directed by a unique wireless, high-frequency remote control. The remote control will command system functions from any rcom in the house or out of dcors. Its high-frequency commands penetrate physical barners, so you can command music from the system wherever you happen to be. Most high fidelity systems need large, obtrusive amplifiers or receivers to provide enough power for realistic sound Instead. the Lifestyle music system combines with one or several 8ose powered loudspeaker designs that contain power amplifier and signal processing circuitry inside the speaker enclosures. Amplified and equalized individually, these speakers are designed using innovative technology to provide unusually realistic sound from an exceptionally compact enclosure. They are suitable for different room sizes, place- A ments, and budgets.
