• Be sure to press a source button (CD/DVD, AM/FM, etc.) on the LIFESTYLE

• Make sure that the power switch on the Acoustimass module is set to ON (I).
• Make sure that the audio input cable:

AUDIO INPUT jack.
• Check connections between the cube speakers and the module.
• Turn off the media center for 60 seconds, then on again, to restore communication
between the media center and the speakers.
• Make sure that the power switch on the Acoustimass module is set to ON (I).
• Contact Bose ® Customer Service to determine if and how other electrical components in
the room may be creating unwanted signals, and the possible remedies.
• Make sure the center speaker cable is connected at both ends.
• Select 3- or 5-speaker mode.
• Decrease the Center Channel setting.
• Select 5-speaker mode.
• Increase the Surround setting for the source being played.
• Make sure the video sound source is stereo- and surround-encoded, and the component
used (TV, VCR, DVR, etc.) is stereo.

• Make sure that the left and right front speakers are connected to the front speaker jacks
(blue), and the left and right surround speakers are connected to the surround speaker
jacks (orange).

impossible to store all tracks.
