The Bose® linkALB Homewide Wireless Audio Link
Congratulations on your choice of Bose to provide an audio expansion solution free from the
need to run cumbersome wires between rooms.
The audio link consists
of atransmitter and receiver. They deliver audio signals from your
L1FESTYLE® 18 or 28 Series II system or L1FESTYLE® 38 or 48 system in one area of your
house to the system or speakers you have set up in another area.
One transmitter can also send signals
to as many as 8receivers, making it simple to add on
to your system whenever you like.
.) Note: For future expansion possibilities, we recommend thatyou keep this owner's guide as a
reference.
In combination with a Bose® link remote control or the PERSONAL® music center II, the
Bose link AL8 Homewide Wireless Audio Link gives you numerous options for expanding
your enjoyment.

The connection panel on each unit identifies it by name: TRANSMITIER or RECEIVER. Two
Bose® link jacks and aChannel button further distinguish thetransmitter.
For compatibility, the
two units have amatching Setup Code, set at the factory with both
switches
in the "up" position (Figure 2). AStatus LED lights when each unit is plugged in and
the
two units are communicating.

Choosing a place for each unit
Place the transmitter in the same room with the LIFESTYLE® system media center. Place the
receiver
in the same room with your Bose link expansion product.
; Note: Use of the audio link with products that are not Bose link compatible requires an adapter
cable. For further information, refer to "Instructions for non-Bose
or olderBose products" on
page
7.
Considerations for positioning:
•Place each unit upright with all feet flat
on alevel surface, such as afloor, table, or shelf.
•Do not tip either unit on its side.
.\
•Place each unit within 7feet (2 meters) of the product to which it is connected (using the
supplied Bose link Acable).
•Keep the
two units within 80 feet (24 meters) of each other.
•SBe aware that the strongest signal direction is above and around, not below,
the transmitter.

SETUP
Making the connections
You can connect one transmitter and up to 8receivers for each LIFESTYLE® system.
The transmitter and receiver each use one of the
two supplied Bose® link Acables, which are
7feet
(2 meters) long. Each unit also connects to power using one of the two supplied power
packs.
J Note: Instructions for use with anon-Bose tuner/receiver vary slightly from those below. For
details, refer to "Instructions for non-Bose
or olderBose products" on page 7.
For the transmitter
1. Connect one end of aBose link Acable to the jack labeled Bose® link INPUT on the
transmitter connection panel.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Bose link speaker jack, below the Main
Speaker jack,
on the LIFESTYLE® media center connection panel (Figure 3).

Instructions for non-Bose or older Bose products
The Bose link ALB Homewide Wireless Audio Link also works with some products that are not
Bose link compatible.
You can use non-Bose products in the following ways:
• A tuner/receiver as asound source connected
to the transmitter or in an expansion room
connected to the receiver
•Powered speakers connected
to the receiver
You can use older Bose products as follows:
•Powered speakers, aradio, or system with its own volume and on/off controls and line-
level female RCA input jacks connected to the receiver
Any
of the above products require the use of an RCA to DIN adapter cable for connecting to
the transmitter, the receiver, or both.
An adapter kit, which contains two of these cables, is
available from Bose.
J Note: To order the adapter kit, contact Bose and request Part Number 285320-207. For Bose
contact information, refer to the address sheet included
in the carton.
To use an adapter cable
The RCA connectors are color coded, red for right and white for left.
1. Insert the adapter cable DIN connector into the Bose® link jack on the transmitter (INPUT)
or receiver (OUTPUT) jack, as appropriate.
2. Insert the adapter cable RCA connectors into the Audio Out jack on the connection panel
of the audio source or the Audio In jack on the expansion room product. Match left to left
and right to right.

Note: For information on the meaning of the different Status LEO lights, refer to "Check the
indicators
and settings" below.
To control volume when a non-Bose product is the sound source:
•There is no need for an expansion room remote control.
•Use the remote that came with the tuner/receiver
in the room where it is connected to the
transmitter.
•Use the volume control on the system, radio, or powered speakers connected
to the
receiver
in the other room.
To control non-Bose or older Bose products in the expansion room:
•Use a Bose® link remote control or the PERSONAL® music center II to select audio from the
LIFESTYLE® system in the main room.
•Use the product remote or console control for local volume adjustments.
Check the indicators and settings
Before you use the audio link, you may want to check some of the indicators and settings
that make your expansion products work together smoothly.
The Status LED
On the connection panel of both the transmitter and the receiver, the Status LED indicates
how the
two units are communicating, as shown in the table below.

SETUP
The transmitter Channel button
You can use the Channel button to narrow the selection of frequencies the transmitter uses.
The transmitter is factory set to avoid WiFi channel
6. This helps prevent performance prob-
lems, such
as slow or intermittent data transmissions, on awireless network. If you have a
wireless network set up on another channel, you can set up your transmitter
to avoid that
channel, oryou can move the WiFi network
to channel 6.
To reserve achannel for use by your WiFi network:
1. Press and hold the Channel button for more than 3seconds to reach the setting for NO
WIFI NETWORK. The Status LED blinks red three times to confirm this move.
2. In the grouping below, locate the channel used by your nearby WiFi network:
NO
WIFI NETWORK...6 ... 11 ... 1 ... 2 ... 3 .. .4...5 ... 7 ... 8 ... 9...10.
3. Count the number of forward moves it takes from the NO WIFI NETWORK setting to
reach your WiFi network channel. For example, ifyour WiFi network uses channel
3, you
need to move forward 5times to reserve channel 3for WiFi network use only.
4. Press the Channel button for less than 3seconds for each forward move. Repeat as
many times as needed to reach the channel you want
to reserve. The Status LED will
blink red to confirm each move.
If the WiFi network channel is unknown to you, use the Channel button to switch off one
channel at atime. Test the WiFi network
to see which setting gives you the best effect.
If you do not have aWiFi network in your home:
Follow Step 1above
to use the entire frequency band and maximize transmitter
performance.
Your Bose® link expansion room remote control
•Room code
Ifyou have more than one
L1FESTYLE® system expansion room, make sure the remote
used
in each one has aunique room code.
•House code
The house code setting on the remote must match the setting on your
L1FESTYLE® system.
It may not match if you changed the system house code due to interference with another
system.
For information on these house code and room code settings and how to change them, refer
to the owner's guide that came with your remote.
) Note: Setup codes for the transmitter and receiver, which must be identical to each other, do
NOT need to match house codes on the remote or LlFESTYLE®system.
Your Bose link expansion room product
•Room code
Make sure the system, amplifier, or powered speaker room code setting matches that of
the remote you are using
in the expansion room.
For information on room code settings and how
to change them, refer to the owner's guide
that came with your
Bose® link product.
Enjoy your wireless entertainment
With the settings confirmed, your Bose link AL8 Homewide Wireless Audio Link is ready for
