QA& LIFESTYLE® 28 SERIES II DVD HOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

Are there any other advantages offered by Videostage® 5 decoding circuitry compared with conventional decoding technology?

What are the benefits of the hideaway Acoustimass® module?

•A five-speaker surround sound experience from mono TV shows – The next- generation Lifestyle® home entertainment systems,using Videostage® 5 decoding circuitry, can deliver a five-speaker surround sound experience even from mono TV shows.With Dolby® Digital 1.0 (monaural) program material, the five-speaker surround sound expe- rience is delivered automatically. If a TV broadcast or VHS tape is in mono, customers can enjoy a full five-speaker surround sound experience by pressing and holding the “five-speaker” button to engage the monaural decoder. (They will hear a chime, and then they will hear all five speakers come on.)

•Five-speaker surround sound from stereo CDs – Many conventional home the- ater systems are challenged when playing stereo CDs through all five speakers. However, Bose® proprietary Videostage 5 decoding circuitry delivers a realistic listening experience with the vocalist or predominant instrument appearing centered, the backup instru- ments remaining spacious, and ambient instrumentation appearing in the surround channels. If customers would rather listen through two speakers, they simply press the “Speaker 2-3-5” button on the remote control and select the two-speaker mode.

Yes. Most of the decoding technology available today was originally designed to work in com- mercial movie theaters – a significantly different environment than most homes. Because Bose specifically engineered Videostage 5 decoding circuitry to reproduce the experience of the cinema in a living room, the Lifestyle® 28 system offers your customers important advantages:

•Deep, low notes from a single source – Videostage 5 decoding and post-processing circuitry sums the lower frequencies from all channels into the single Acoustimass® module, which can easily be hidden out of sight. Integrating all the low-note production into one source reduces unpredictable acoustic effects that may be caused by placement of multiple low-note enclosures in the room.

•Improved on-screen localization – In most homes, the center channel speaker is placed above or below the TV screen.With the Videostage 5 circuitry in the Lifestyle® system, output from the three front Virtually Invisible® cube speakers is integrated to establish a sonic image of the center channel information in the center of the screen.

Most of the other decoders available today tend to steer the center channel information directly to the center speaker – an arrangement that works well in movie theaters, where the center speakers are set directly behind the screen, but perhaps not so well in homes, where the center speaker is generally above or below the TV picture.

•Advanced surround channel controls – The Lifestyle® 28 system includes surround controls that allow you to adjust the direction that the surround channel information comes from, so you feel enveloped by sound. In addition, the Lifestyle® 28 system preserves the surround information that Hollywood intended. Unlike the surround controls of most conventional systems, the Lifestyle® 28 system control does not just turn down the surround, but actually fades it from rear to front, so the information in the surround channels is not lost – even if you fade the sound all the way to the front.

In order to meet the demands of today’s movie soundtracks, the Acoustimass module delivers low frequencies with more clarity, even at very loud levels. Utilizing a proprietary hybrid approach, innovative technology combines several approaches to low-frequency reproduction, allowing prodigious airflow at the lowest frequencies without port compression or other audible problems.You can hide the module out of sight, and all the sound seems to come from the tiny cube speakers.
