INTRODUCTION

Listening made easy

The Bose® uMusic®+ intelligent playback system is an advanced feature that makes it easy to store and enjoy your music collection.

To experience how it does this, you first need to store some music. Then, you can:

• Enjoy a wide selection of your collected music without sorting through a clutter of discs.

• Hear continuous play of your stored music by pressing the Stored button.

• Hear music that is similar to the track now playing by pressing the Encore button.

• Hear the entire album that includes the track now playing by pressing the Whole CD button.

• View your collection organized by genre, artist, album, or track by pressing the Library button.

• Set up playlists (up to 9) with specific music for specific occasions.

• Let the system pick the music you like as you listen to your personal uStationTM selections.

Specific uMusic+ remote buttons Some buttons on your system remote work specifically with your stored music.

These special buttons include:

LIFESTYLE® 3•2•1® system remote control remote control

Storing a CD

The first step in using the uMusic®+ system is to store some of your collected music. The system does not need to be on for this.

1. Open the disc tray on the media center.

2. Put the disc in and close the tray.

3. Press the Store button on the media center.

ACCESSING GRACENOTE MEDIA DATABASE appears on the display for an Audio CD.

When STORING appears on the lower right of the display, you can check the percentage completed.

4. When you see AUDIO CD (or MP3 DISC) STORED, remove the disc.

Note: While storing an MP3 disc, you may see additional messages (such as SKIPPED when a track on the disc is corrupt or incorrectly formatted) or DUPLICATE (if the same track is already in the system).

Before copying audio material onto your computer or creating an MP3 CD, you should:•Make sure you have the legal right to copy the particular audio content;•Avoid sources of audio material that may be questionable, such as certainfile sharing facilities;

Discs you can storeThere are two types of discs you can store.

Audio CDsCommercially produced CDs are identified by music databases in the system. This data enables the uMusic+ system software to recognize, categorize, and make connections between songs.

If the system does not recognize an album when you start to store it, DISC NOT RECOGNIZED appears on the media center display.

You may prefer to remove the disc to cancel storing. Then, you can use music management software (like iTunes), on a computer connected to the Internet, to provide the album identity.

Or, you can choose to store this unrecognized disc, then use the system Edit screen to add the identity.

MP3s on CD or DVDMP3 tracks that are created on a computer usually include information (called ID3 tags), such as the artist and album for each track.

MP3 tracks include this information when they are burned onto a CD, DVD, or DVD-R (not a DVD+R) and when the tracks are stored in the uMusic+ system.

For details on MP3 preparation, refer to “More about compatible discs” on page 26.

•Not use the copies or CDs as a means to share audio content with others, but confine such copying, where permissible, to your personal use.

GETTING STARTED


Reserving time for storing• For an Audio CD, allow about 10 minutes. For MP3s,

estimate about 10 minutes for a disc of 25 tracks.• When BUSY PROCESSING CDS appears on the

media center display, you need to wait before you store more music.Allow approximately one hour before you resume storing.

• For 10 commercially produced CDs, it takes about 6 hours of processing time with the system turned off. For MP3 tracks, this processing is not necessary.

• Using the system or having it turned on during processing lengthens the time needed.

• Processing stops when your media center is unplugged, turned off at an outlet, or the power fails. Processing resumes when power is available again.

• If storing takes much longer than expected, the disc may be marred or smudged.You can remove the disc and wipe it off as instructed in your Bose® owner’s guide. Then reinsert the disc and resume storing.A damaged or poor-quality disc can take 15 minutes or more to store.

Keeping music data up to dateWhenever you store a CD, the system refers to an internal music catalog for data about the CD. This data includes 30 different musical characteristics, such as style, tone, related artists, key influences, and musicians.

This music catalog of data helps the uMusic®+ intelligent playback system work for you. So, whenever you buy a newly released CD, you want the music catalog to have the latest information about it.

Bose periodically sends a free update disc to registered owners. You can use this disc to refresh the internal music catalog data.

To receive your disc, it is important to mail your completed product registration card to Bose.

If an Internet address is provided on your registration card, you can use it to register online.

Note: If UNRECOGNIZED DISC appears on the media centerdisplay, the identity of this album is not in the database on your system. After using an update disc, the music identity (for a new album in particular) may appear on the display.

USING INTELLIGENT PLAYBACK

Playing your music in a whole new way

When you first press the Stored button, you hear a continuous and unedited variety of your stored music. You may enjoy this style of play, which allows you to explore your music with very little effort.

But there’s another side to uMusic®+ performance, called intelligent playback, which seems to sense what you want to hear.

Getting the system to listenYour preferences for music may vary at a particular time of day, for a repeated activity, or for a certain atmosphere that you want.

Now you can teach the system to play music that suits these varied tastes. You simply choose one of the nine uStationsTM to serve as your student.

Not at all like a playlist, a uStation does not store a list of tracks. Instead it keeps a log of your responses as you listen to your music.

When a uStation is selected, every action you take – skipping, repeating, or listening to an entire song – provides clues to your taste. The uStation uses this log of clues to select music that you find satisfying.

Selecting a uStation preset Every uStation has a preset number already assigned. You can reserve different numbers for members of your family or for your different purposes.

While your stored music plays, you can use the remote to change uStations*. Simply press the preset number for the uStation you want.

You can also give each uStation a name as a reminder of its purpose. See “Naming a uStationTM” on page 22.

*uStations are not active when you play selections from the Music Library, Playlist, CD #, or Whole CD. Press the Encore or uMusic button on the remote to make a uStation active. Then press the preset number for the one you want.


20



Putting a uStationTM to work 1. Press the Stored button on the remote to begin

continuous play.

2. Press a preset number (1* - 9) on the remote for the uStation you want to use.

The preset number, following a small u, appears on the media center display.

3. As your stored music continues, respond to the music in one of these ways:

• Listen to a track all the way through.

• Skip tracks you do not want to hear.

• Repeat a track that you find especially pleasing.

The uStation logs each of these responses, plus any ratings you give the music. Over time, you may notice how the focus of this uStation reflects your preferences.

*When you play stored music for the first time, the system automatically selects Preset 1. This preset is then affected by the reactions of anyone who listens to the music. To tailor a uStation to your tastes, you may want to select a different preset number (2 - 9).

To refresh uStation 1, refer to “Clearing your uStationTM log” on page 24.

Rating music in a uStationWhen a uStation is first selected, it doesn’t yet know your preferences. So it starts by playing tracks from your entire stored music collection.

Details on discs to store

Some additional details may help you use this Bose® home entertainment system to its fullest.

More about compatible discsOther than MP3 you cannot import data disc audio formats such as Windows Media Audio (WMA) and those protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM).

For details on creating MP3 files, refer to the music management system on your computer.

Other details:

• You can store the same song from both an MP3 disc and an audio CD. However, music data that is provided with the MP3 does not apply to this same song from the audio CD.

• If the songs from one album are stored, some from an MP3 disc and others from an audio CD, they will not all be recognized as coming from the same album.

• For any MP3 files to be recognized as songs from the same album, they must be stored from the same MP3 disc. A two-session disc qualifies as one disc.

Before copying audio material onto your computer or creating an MP3 CD, you should:•Make sure you have the legal right to copy the particular audio content;•Avoid sources of audio material that may be questionable, such as certain file sharing facilities;

•Not use the copies or CDs as a means to share audio content with others, but confine such copying, where permissible, to your personal use.

• The same track from two different MP3 discs will be stored only once. When you press the CD # for the disc stored first, the track will play. It will not play, however, when you press CD # for the disc stored later.

• If an album is on an MP3 disc twice, after storing, it shows up just once under Albums. If there are two different artists associated with the album, however, each track appears twice in the Album list.

• If an audio CD and an MP3 disc contain the same album, this album will be stored twice and listed twice in the Albums category of the Music Library. The tracks will be listed once under each album, but twice in the list of all Tracks.

FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES

Extending your LIFESTYLE® system enjoymentthroughout your home

You’ve already discovered how your new LIFESTYLE® system can digitally store hundreds of CDs and learn your music tastes. Now it’s time to learn how you can enjoy your favorite music all around your home – with great-sounding homewide expansion options from Bose.

Imagine. You’re enjoying some jazz on the deck, while your kids are in the den watching a DVD. All from the same system. All at the same time. But you don’t have to stop with just two areas around your home. Your LIFESTYLE® system lets you expand your listening enjoyment in up to 14 rooms – even outdoors.

Your system has the capability to deliver music throughout your home, not just your living room.

How can I get great sound and access my stored music collection throughout my home?Bose offers a number of flexible options to help customize a solution that’s perfect for you. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Music in the bedroomImagine having access to all your stored music from your bedroom. Listen to a quiet classical track as you drift off to sleep, or let one of your uStationTM presets deliver more upbeat tunes as you get ready to go out for dinner. While you could wire to your bedroom, this room is often far away from your main system. Rather than run wires from room to room, we suggest you pair an AL8 homewide wireless audio link with a Wave® music system for a simple and easy-to-set-up solution.

Music in the studyAt the end of a long day, you can relax with some soft jazz. Your study may be closer to the main room system, so a wired solution might be more practical. With LIFESTYLE® homewide powered speakers, you can have the highest level of Bose® stereo quality all to yourself.

Music outdoorsSummertime is best spent on the patio, grilling, and entertaining friends. You can listen to the big game on the radio and, during commercials, access your stored music collection. Our Free Space® 51 environmental speakers and an amplifier provide great sound in the great outdoors. Our best-performing, most versatile landscape speakers provide the perfect outdoor solution.


28



Mix and match to suit your space In each of your expansion areas, you can enjoy the advanced control of a Personal® music center II. It features an LCD screen that shows what is playing on the system and the other play options you can choose.

Like the other Bose® link-compatible products, the Personal® music center II includes detailed instructions on how to use it with your LIFESTYLE® system.

For more information or to purchase additional equipment, contact your local Bose dealer. Or, to reach Bose directly, refer to the address list included with your system.
