An elegant media centre features an integrated DVD player and AM/FM tuner. DIRECT/REFLECTING® cube speaker arrayscombine with a horizontal centre channel speaker to fit easily in your room.

    Breakthrough technologies make listening easy

    The LIFESTYLE® 38 DVD system advances a legacy of performance, elegance and simplicity with proprietary new technologies that make listening easy and exciting. The ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system evaluates your room's acoustics and where your speakers are placed. Then it automatically adjusts the sound to your room environment, ensuring consistent BOSE® quality performance.

    Now, consider that CD collection you've compiled for years. Why let it eat up space when you can have thousands of songs right at your fingertips? The LIFESTYLE® 38 DVD system features the uMusic®+ intelligent playback system to digitally store up to 200 hours of music from your CDs and MP3s. While you're listening to your music, the uMusic®+ system learns your preferences so it can automatically select and play the songs you enjoy.

    All of this technology resides in one elegant media centre, featuring an integrated DVD player and AM/FM tuner.

    Enjoy BOSE® sound throughout your home

    All LIFESTYLE® DVD systems are equipped with BOSE® link to bring BOSE® sound to as many as 14 additional rooms, even outdoors. Simply add compatible BOSE® products for access to your entire music collection from any room in your home. You can choose from two audio streams in any of these rooms and enjoy independent volume control, as well.

    Small speakers, big performance

    DIRECT/REFLECTING® cube speaker arrays stand just over 15.7cm high, but provide thrilling, enveloping sound for everything you listen to or watch. A horizontal centre channel speaker locks dialogue on screen and provides an aesthetic match for flat-panel televisions. These small speakers work in concert with the proprietary ACOUSTIMASS® module to fill your room with lifelike surround sound. The ACOUSTIMASS® module produces resonant lows that add impact to action sequences and depth to musical selections. Just place it in a corner or behind furniture, and all the sound seems to come from the centre channel and cube speaker arrays.

    Simplicity for your video sources

    Simplify the integration of a LIFESTYLE® system with your video sources - including those with HDMI - and get the best picture possible. The new VS-2 video enhancer automatically synchronizes the audio and video you want at the touch of a button. You'll receive the highest video resolution your TV can accept, all the way up to 1080p over HDMI. And you'll reduce the wiring to the back of the television to just one connection. 

    From the latest media to your cherished classics, the LIFESTYLE® 38 DVD system has just about all you'll need to create a thrilling home cinema experience.
