Capabilities and Controls

The media center

The CD/DVD tray and system controls are located under the front panel door of the media center. To the right of that is the display window (Figure 1).

An IR signal emitter, located under the CD/DVD tray, enables you to control other compo- nents using the LIFESTYLE® remote. Avoid blocking the emitter, so its signal will have a clear path to other components or reflective surfaces in the room.

The Bose Lifestyle 18 Series II and Lifestyle 28 Series II are integral parts of Bose's legacy in home audio solutions, known for their superior sound quality and innovative technology. Both systems cater to audiophiles looking for a sophisticated audio experience and striking design.

The Lifestyle 18 Series II features a powerful 5.1 surround sound system. Its main component is the Acoustimass module that delivers deep, rich bass without distorting the overall sound. The system includes five small, elegant speakers, designed to blend seamlessly into any room while providing an immersive audio experience.

The Lifestyle 28 Series II also houses enhanced speaker technology and digital signal processing, which meticulously reproduces intricate audio details, making it an excellent choice for movie lovers.

Both systems incorporate the Direct Reflecting speaker technology, which creates a spacious sound environment, mimicking the acoustics of a live concert or theater performance. This unique design reflects sound off walls and ceilings to envelop the listener, creating a rich, 3D audio experience.

Another characteristic shared by both systems is the remote control flexibility, allowing users to manage the audio setup from any part of the room without needing to physically interact with the base system. Additionally, both models provide connectivity with smartphones and other devices, reinforcing the systems’ user-friendly appeal.

In summary, the Bose Lifestyle 18 Series II and Lifestyle 28 Series II encapsulate quality and sophistication through advanced sound technology, ensuring users enjoy an unmatched audio experience in the comfort of their homes.
