Your room is unique. So is this system.

The hidden beauty of the Lifestyle^® DVD systems lies in the Bose^® technologies that make enjoying music and films intuitively simple. Start with your main room - the size, shape, textures and other elements that affect the sound you hear. The ADAPTiQ^® system, found only in Lifestyle^® systems, was developed to analyse your room, then adjust the Lifestyle^® system for a consistent, high-quality performance each time you listen.

No need to move furniture, speakers or anything else to get the best possible sound in your room. Just sit in up to five of your preferred listening spots, and allow the ADAPTiQ^® system to automatically make the necessary adjustments.

Meet your digital DJ

Consider the hassle of managing your treasured, but unwieldy, music collection. Lifestyle^® DVD systems change all that with unique Bose^® technology that stores up to 340 hours of music from your CDs and MP3s. The uMusic^®+ intelligent playback system actually listens to your music and learns your preferences, then makes selections based on what you like. No more searching for CDs or deciding which tracks to listen to. Whatever mood you're in, the uMusic^®+ system is ready with just the songs you want to hear.

And you can hear them almost anywhere. Bose^® link enables quality sound in as many as 14 additional rooms, even outdoors. Just add compatible Bose^® products, and you can have independent volume control in each room, as well as access to two different audio streams from the same Lifestyle^® system.

Fill your room with sound, not equipment

Lifestyle^® DVD systems feature compact cube speaker arrays that deliver dramatically lifelike sound you'd expect from speakers many times their size. A sleek horizontal centre channel speaker locks dialogue on screen while making a nice match with flat-panel televisions. The proprietary Acoustimass^® module produces resounding low notes that bring action sequences to life and adds fullness to music. And the Acoustimass^® module can be placed out of sight, so all the sound seems to come from the smaller speakers.

Simplicity for your video sources

Simplify the integration of a Lifestyle^® DVD system with your video sources - including those with HDMI - and get the best picture possible. The new VS-2 video enhancer automatically synchronises 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.

Lifestyle^® DVD systems put it all together with innovative approaches that let you easily customise your listening experience. All with the performance and elegance you expect from Bose.
