Using two listening areas Using proprietary electronic circuitry designed byBose", the Lifestyle 11 music system offers you the opportunity to direct sound from one or two sound sources to two different listening areas simultaneously. Each listening area, whether a room or a group of rooms (including outdoor areas), is referred to as a zone. For further discussion of listening areas, see the Lifestyle music centerowner'smanual. How zones work • The signals to the two zones are separate outputs from the music center. • My available sound source can be directed to either zone. • Zones 1and2 caneachplaya different sound source at the same time. • Only one CD or one radio stationcanbe played at a time. Zone displays • Whenzone 1is inuse, themusic center display shows zone 1 information. • If zone 2 is selected, the display shows zone 2 information for 15 seconds, then reverts to the zone 1display. • When only zone 2 is in use, the display shows zone 2 information. Controlling the zones • The zones are controlled independently by commands from either the music center or the remote control. • Check the position of the black remote control ZONE switch before you select a sound source or turn off a zone. The white remote is preset to control zone 2. Control priority • Both zones can listen to the same source, but the zone that first selects the source controls the source for the current listening session. • To gain control of the sound source from the other zone, change the zone switch setting on the remote control or the music center to the zone that has control of the sound source. • To transfer control of the sound source to the other zone, selectanother sourcefor the original zoneor turnit off. 5
