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:

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 certain
file sharing facilities;
Discs you can store
There are two types of discs you can store.
Audio CDs
Commercially 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 DVD
MP3 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.

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 date
Whenever 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 center
display, 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.
