Presenting a New Way to Play

®
What makes this LIFESTYLE system uniquely yours
The CDs you have amassed over the years are an expression of your taste in music. The ones
you play on a regular basis provide a window into your style and moods. And the tracks you
most enjoy when feeling tired, exuberant, social, or soulful exemplify these moods.
You may have chosen your LIFESTYLE ® 38 or 48 system because it captures these subtleties
with a breakthrough new feature: the uMusic intelligent playback system. Enabled by pro-
™
prietary Bose ® technology, it transforms your system into a virtual DJ, capable of playing a
continuous stream of the music you most enjoy and adapting to your preferences as they
change.
Not only does it store your personal CD collection, the uMusic intelligent playback system
also provides a revolutionary new approach to hearing your music.
It offers immediate access and uninterrupted play, so you can enjoy far more of your favorite
music, even the tracks you've forgotten you own. And, as if it is listening along with you, the
system also learns to play more and more of what you prefer...for customized listening plea-
sure.
Underlying this new feature is the capacity to store all of the tracks from hundreds of your
CDs in the system. The actual quantity depends on the number and length of tracks on each
CD. Used as a personal music library, this feature saves you the time spent physically arrang-
ing and searching through your collection.

How you can tell the system to "Do as I do."

That's right, you get to instruct this new music system to play what you want, when you
want it.
But giving it instructions requires very little effort. Just react to your stored music as it plays
and count on this system to pay attention.
Don't be concerned about doing it right, either, because anything you do is undo-able. For
instance, pressing Encore tells the system to search the database for music with characteristics
that closely match what's playing now. This choice gets the system to narrow its focus of
selections, in response to your command. But whenever you press the uMusic button again,
you'll notice the system returns to selecting form a broader range of your collection.
Even pressing the – (negative) rating button does not banish a track forever. It tells the system
to move on because this particular track is not right for this time of day, this activity, this
selected preset, or the person who's listening.
Pressing the + (positive) rating button has the opposite effect: the system learns that you par-
ticularly like the track playing. Not that every track you like requires a + rating. But you can
provide this nudge when the track you hear is really special.
Over time, the system adjusts the type of music it plays when your preset is selected, in
response to your previous reactions. And you don't need to worry that any response you
make now will be stored in concrete. All of your early choices and decisions are easily over-
ridden, if you like. So don't hesitate to tell the system just what you think now. Feel free to
experiment, and enjoy your musical mood.
Whatever that mood is, letting it be known helps the system come closer and closer to play-
ing exactly what you'd choose...if you still had to.
