Setting Up

Before you begin

Thank you for purchasing the Bose

®

 Lifestyle

®

 20 music system. This remarkably compact

system is a result of advanced technology developed by years of research. Technological
innovations that make the Lifestyle

®

 20 music system possible include the smallest CD

changer now available for home use and Jewel Cube

TM

 speakers one-half the size of the

previous Acoustimass

®

 cube speakers.

To create speakers this small, the magnet inside is formed using the rare earth element
neodymium and has ten times more energy (per unit volume) than conventional magnets.
For high performance from such a small package, a port 3.8 inches (9.7 cm) long was
designed in the shape of a nautilus shell and enclosed inside the tiny cube.

These, and numerous other innovations, bring you the Lifestyle

®

 20 music system, offering

superb sound, elegance, technology, and simplicity for music and home entertainment.

Your system includes:

• A Lifestyle

®

 music center with built-in AM/FM radio and six-disc CD changer

• Powered Acoustimass speakers consisting of two Jewel Cube speakers

and a hide-away Acoustimass module

• An easy-to-use remote control
• Inputs for two video sound sources, an auxiliary source, and a tape deck
• Capability for operating two listening zones

Your Lifestyle

®

 music system offers several ways to listen to superbly reproduced sound.

You can use its built-in sound sources, connect additional equipment such as a tape deck,
laserdisc player, VCR, or TV, and use two listening zones.

Please take the time to follow this owner’s guide carefully. It will help you set up and operate
your Lifestyle

®

 music system, and enjoy all of its advanced features. Save your owner’s

guide for future reference.

CAUTION:

Remove and dispose of the
three manufacturer’s shipping
screws from the bottom of the
Lifestyle

®

 music center before

setting up your system.

The shipping screws are for
use by the manufacturer only.
They are not re-installable.
