Introd uction

Thank you for choosing the RC-18S remote

As the owner of a Bose®LIFESTYLE®RC-18S remote

control, you can enjoy a wide variety of new options

with your LIFESTYLE®Series II DVD home entertainment

system.

This remote is one of many Bose®link compatible prod-

ucts designed to work with the LIFESTYLE®18 Series II or

28 Series II systems. Built-in compatibility makes this

additional remote useful in any area of your home...

wherever you want to hear Bose-quality sound from your

system!

Where to use this expansion remote

Using the RC-18S remote in another room, you can turn

your LIFESTYLE®system on and tune in audio from the

the media center located in the main room. You can even

select a different sound source, changing from CD to FM

radio, for example.

The remote works with:

•Bose

®link compatible powered speakers

•Bose

®link amplifiers with passive speakers

• Other stereo amplifiers.

By using one of the expansion room solutions above, you

can enjoy LIFESTYLE®system sound in another area of

your house. Depending on which expansion product you

choose, it may allow you to connect a local sound source

in that expansion room to further extend your choice of

audio. Then use the RC-18S remote to control all of con-

nected sources, regardless of where they’re located.

Engineered to emit radio frequency signals that work

through walls and floors, the RC-18S can command

sound from different floors of your residence, too.

How it differs from your primary remote

The RC-18S remote works as a complement to the

primary remote that came with your LIFESTYLE®Series II

system. This additional remote provides the control you

need to listen to your system in other areas of your house.

Setting up your expansion products

If you have purchased other Bose®link compatible

products, you can pair them to work seamlessly with

your new remote. This allows you to command sound

from your LIFESTYLE®system in an entirely different

part of your home.

To get an additional room of sound

It takes only a few steps to set up one additional room of

sound with Bose products. With batteries installed in the

RC-18S remote, you can then use it for control in the

same area with those products.

With a Bose SA-2 or SA-3 amplifier and speakers:

1. Arrange and connect the speakers and amplifier as

instructed in the amplifier owner’s guide. (A Bose®link

A cable is supplied with the amplifier only.)

2. Check the room setting on the amplifier, as instructed

in the owner’s guide that came with it. This setting

must be different from the main room remote.

3. Check the switch settings inside the battery compart-

ment of the RC-18S remote. These include:

• House code (switches 1-4): Must match the main

room remote control house code setting.

• Audio stream (switch 5): May be set like that of the

main room remote or be set to receive a different

audio stream instead. Set switch 5 in the RC-18S

accordingly.

• Room setting (switches 6-9): These must be differ-

ent from the main room remote and identical to the

room settings in the amplifier.

Note:

Your RC-18S remote and the SA-2 or SA-3

amplifier switches are set at the factory with identical house

codes, with switch 5 set to command audio stream 2, and

with room switches set for use in Room B.

4. If your amplifier and remote switches do not match,

refer to “How to change the settings, as needed” on

page 15.

With a Series II 3•2•1 or 3•2•1 GS system

The 3•2•1 Series II and 3•2•1 GS Series II DVD home

entertainment systems are also Bose®link compatible

products designed to work with your LIFESTYLE®system.

This gives you the choice of listening to any of the 3•2•1

system sound sources or to audio stream 1 or 2 of the

LIFESTYLE®system. All it requires is that the two

systems be connected.

This connection requires use of a Bose®link B cable. If

you do not yet own one, you can purchase this cable by

requesting Part Number 273619 from your authorized

Bose dealer. Or, to contact Bose directly, refer to the

address list included in the carton with your system.

This cable connects to the rear panel of both the 3•2•1

and LIFESTYLE®system media centers as shown

(Figure 1). Use the Bose®link jack for this connection.

When the connections are completed, you can operate

either system using the RC-18S remote.

By pressing the Local button, you tell the remote to

control your 3•2•1 system. For access to the more

advanced features of the 3•2•1 system, however, be sure

to use the remote that came with it.

With older Bose products for expansion

Some other Bose products, which you may already own,

can also connect to your LIFESTYLE®system. However, if

the product you add is not Bose®link compatible, you are

limited to expanding your system to one additional room.

How you make this connection will depend on the type of

product you have. It could be:

• powered speakers, such as an Acoustimass®5 powered

speaker system

• an earlier system, such as a 3•2•1 Series I system, a

Wave®radio or Wave®radio/CD

• indoor or outdoor speakers connected to a Bose

SA-1 amplifier

For details, refer to “Some simple rules to keep it all

straight” on page 12.

For more information on compatibility and cables, please

contact Bose. Refer to the address list provided with your

LIFESTYLE®system.

To add more rooms of sound

To set up Bose®link products in multiple rooms, you

can connect Bose SA-2 and SA-3 amplifiers in a daisy-

chain arrangement. To include more than one non-ampli-

fier solution, such as a 3•2•1 or Wave®product, you need

the 50-foot extension/expansion cable from Bose. This

cable connects to the Bose®link jack on your system

media center, or to the pass through jack on the last con-

nected amplifier. Then, at the other end, its 4-jack con-

nector allows you to connect more products.

To purchase the extension/expansion cable from your

authorized Bose dealer, ask for part number 275475-050.

Or, to contact Bose directly, refer to the address list

provided with your LIFESTYLE®system.

Preparing the Remote

English Deutsch FrançaisDansk Español Italiano SvenskaNederlands

Prep aring t he Rem ote

Getting the remote ready to use

You can use your RC-18S remote control as soon as the

batteries are installed. It is pre-set at the factory for use

outside the main room where your LIFESTYLE®system is

located, in an area where another Bose®system or

speaker pair is set up.

Or, you can use it as a secondary remote in the same

room with the LIFESTYLE®system instead. To learn how

to set switches inside the battery compartment for that

purpose, refer to “How to change the settings, as needed”

on page 15.

To install batteries

1. Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote.

Note:

You may notice the small switches just above the

batteries inside the compartment. These are the house

code, stream selection, and room code switches,

explained on page 12.

2. As you install the four supplied batteries, match the

polarity markings (+ and –) on each one to markings

inside the battery compartment (Figure 2).

Figure 2

the batteries

3. Slide the battery cover back into place until it snaps

closed.

Note:

If you notice a decrease in the range or response of

the RC-18S remote control, the batteries may need to be

changed.

Audio Possibilities

EnglishDeutschFrançais DanskEspañolItalianoSvenska Nederlands

Audi o Possib ilities

Using the remote to control other audio

Your RC-18S remote is capable of working with other

audio components connected to your LIFESTYLE®sys-

tem media center. While it cannot turn these components

on or off, it can change the volume, start or stop play, and

control other basic operation.

Try it and see.

Note:

With a CD changer connected to your LIFESTYLE

system, commands from the RC-18S remote will affect the

current CD, but cannot change to another CD.

Two streams, two choices for you

When you set up speakers in another room, you have

some choices for what those speakers will play.

Your LIFESTYLE®system provides an exciting

set of options for you by offering two independent audio

streams. So, even when you are in the other room, you

can choose to listen to whatever is playing in the main

room, or to another audio source that’s part of the system.

Two streams are simply the means to these added

choices. They can carry audio from the same source or

from two sources, like the CD player and the FM tuner at

the same time, to a multitude of rooms — up to 15 in all!

So before you use an RC-18S remote control in that other

room, you can plan how you want the audio assigned.

Main room requirements

To simplify your choices, some LIFESTYLE®system

assignments are fixed, and do not vary. These include:

• Stream 1 audio always goes to the main room

(Room A) where your LIFESTYLE®system is installed.

• Room switches in the primary remote control are always

set for use in Room A.

Other room and stream scenarios

It is possible for a total of 15 rooms (A - O) to have Bose®

link products installed.

Here are some other rooms where the Stream 1 audio

might be appreciated, if Room A is your living room:
