QA& LIFESTYLE® 28 SERIES II DVD HOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

How are the Lifestyle® DVD-based systems differ- ent from each other?

How does the Lifestyle 28 Series II system differ from the original Lifestyle® 28 system?

What is Bose® link?

The Lifestyle® 48, 38, 28, and 18 systems provide four wonderful choices designed to meet different budget and performance requirements. They all share common features, including an elegant media center, hideaway Acoustimass® module, radio frequency remote control, Bose® link and the ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system.

The difference in system performance is defined by the availability of the uMusic™ intelli- gent playback system (see Lifestyle® 38 and 48 system Q & As for more information) and by the type of speakers included with the system.

We’ve made many improvements to the new Lifestyle® 28 Series II system.They include:

•Improved acoustic performance

•Improved user interface

•Enhanced control integration, including personal video recorders and CD jukeboxes

•Ability to sense TV power on plasma and LCD as well as CRT and projection

•Progressive scan video rendering

•Bose® link

Bose® link is our proprietary technology that allows Bose products located in up to 14 different rooms to play sources from a single Lifestyle® system and its connected components. Bose® link- compatible products (such as a 3·2·1 home entertainment system or Lifestyle® stereo amplifier) in various rooms can communicate with the Lifestyle® system independently, with their own volume, mute and on/off controls. In addition, a Bose® link-enabled room has a choice between two independent audio streams coming from the Lifestyle® media center.

What is an audio stream?

How does an audio stream differ from a zone?

An audio stream is similar to a TV channel – different channels have different content.With Bose® link, the streams have content from the different audio sources generated or enabled by the Lifestyle® system. For example, one stream might have music from the internal CD player, while the other stream could be the FM tuner, or even a connected component, such as a TV.

An audio stream-based approach offers far more flexibility than the traditional zone approach. In a zone approach, audio systems in different rooms are physically linked together. Two rooms in a zone, such as the master bedroom and the kitchen, must always have the same audio output.With the stream approach, each room gives the listener a choice between the two audio streams, so the person in the kitchen can listen to the radio while the person in the bedroom listens to a CD.
