    VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE® 
    cube speakers blend beautifully with your décor.
     
     

    The LIFESTYLE® 18 DVD home entertainment system has all you need to enjoy exhilarating music and film sound. It features several innovations found in our premium LIFESTYLE® DVD system, including the ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system, a system that customises sound to the size and shape of your room, and BOSE® link, which allows you to expand your LIFESTYLE® system into as many as 14 additional rooms. Five 7.8cm cube speakers deliver 5.1-channel surround sound suitable for smaller rooms.

    Elegance and simplicity

    The trim and elegant media centre enhances - instead of dominating - your décor. It contains much of the proprietary technology behind the performance of this revolutionary system. It also includes an integrated DVD/CD player that provides playback of the most popular audio and video content, including DVD, DVD-R, CD, CD-R, CD-RW and MP3 CDs, as well as an AM/FM tuner with RDS and50 presets. Inputs for up to three additional media players broaden its capabilities. It also contains VIDEOSTAGE® 5 decoding circuitry that brings a 5.1-channel experience to practically everything you watch, even older VHS tapes and mono TV programmes.

    These VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE® cube speakers rival the performance of many larger speakers. And the ACOUSTIMASS® module - now 30% smaller than the previous model - reproduces deep, resonant low notes while stationed inconspicuously almost anywhere in your room.

    Surround sound customised to your room

    Every home has unique features that affect sound performance. Only from Bose, the ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system compensates for room dimensions and other variables that can impact your listening experience. Place the speakers wherever you like, then sit in your favourite listening spots. The system adjusts for variations in your room, so you enjoy BOSE® surround sound performance without having to adjust speaker placement.

    This system is also designed for expansion into many other rooms in your home, and even outdoors. With BOSE® link, your LIFESTYLE® 18 DVD system can seamlessly connect to compatible BOSE® products. You can enjoy your choice of two audio sources anywhere in the house, with local control of volume and mute. You can watch a DVD in the main room, while the kids listen to their favourite music upstairs.
