ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system

Enjoy greater freedom of speaker placement — without the tonal adjustments. Available only from BOSE®, this U.S. patented, easy-to-use technology analyses the way your room’s dimensions and other variables affect sound, then automatically adjusts the sound of your LIFESTYLE® DVD system to the acoustics of your room.

BOSE® link

Connect compatible BOSE® products to your LIFESTYLE® DVD system for listening in as many as 14 additional rooms — even outdoors. With BOSE® link technology, you can have independent volume control in each room, as well as access to two different audio streams from the same LIFESTYLE® system. This technology can also be enabled without any room-to-room wiring with the purchase of the BOSE® link AL8 homewide wireless audio link.

uMusic® intelligent playback system

This proprietary system digitally stores thousands of songs in the media centre, freeing you from managing a cumbersome CD collection. The uMusic® system actually listens to your music and learns your preferences to select tracks based on what you like. No menus, no playlists, no computer.

Integrated system design

This system is designed so every element — media centre, speakers and ACOUSTIMASS® module — works in harmony, enhancing performance and ease of operation.

Media centre with integrated progressive scan DVD player

Enjoy high-quality playback of today’s most popular audio and video content, including DVD video, CD, CD-R/RW, VCD, PCM, digital 5.1, MP3 files, MPEG-2.

ACOUSTIMASS® module

This BOSE® breakthrough works in concert with the small speakers to deliver the full range of sound. The module delivers the clarity of pure low-frequency reproduction down to the lowest frequencies, even at the loudest levels. When the module is placed behind a curtain or chair, all of the sound seems to come directly from the small cube speakers.

DIRECT/REFLECTING® cube speaker arrays

Legendary BOSE® technology that blends reflected and direct sound to recreate much of a live concert's natural spaciousness. Experience stereo sound almost anywhere in the room, not just in one small "sweet spot."

Horizontal centre channel speaker

Designed to visually complement flat-panel TV screens while delivering natural-sounding dialogue and vocals.

Technology in DIRECT/REFLECTING® speakers

Experience lifelike spaciousness from a natural balance of reflected and direct sound – similar to a live performance.

VS-2 video enhancer

Simplifies the integration of a LIFESTYLE® system with other video sources, including those with HDMI. Connect just one wire from the VS-2 video enhancer to the back of your TV and receive the correct audio and video with the press of one button.

Proprietary VIDEOSTAGE® 5 decoding circuitry

Proprietary BOSE® technology allows you to hear home cinema sound from practically everything you play, even older TV programmes and videotapes that weren’t recorded in surround sound.

Digital 5.1 decoding

Improved realism from 5.1-encoded DVDs, DBS or HDTV.

Control integration

Use the LIFESTYLE® system’s radio frequency remote to operate most popular functions on other infrared-receiving equipment in your home entertainment system: TV, VCR, PVR, cable box or satellite receiver. The TV sensor makes turning on your home entertainment system a one-button operation.
