Setting up a second zone

To set up the second zone, follow these steps:

Connections

Connect the passive speaker to the powered speaker with speaker wire. Match the red sleeve (positive) to the red terminals and the black wire (negative) to the black terminals
From the powered speaker, connect the hardwired RCA cable to the ZONE 2 output jack on the music center connection panel
Plug the powered speaker into a working power outlet

Music center settings

By default, the ZONE 2 output of the music center is a variable signal, as determined by the down position of switch 1 on the bottom of the music center

Because the music center output setting is a variable signal, set the Lifestyle powered speaker volume to about 80% of its potential volume

With this setting the Bose remote will control the overall volume

Move switch 5 to the up position and make sure all other switches are down

Replace the battery cover
