This proprietary technology customizes sound to your room's unique characteristics.

A unique system that digitally stores and organizes your CDs.

The Bose® 3•2•1 GSX Series III DVD home entertainment system is a complete—and easy—way to enjoy music and movies with less equipment. Two Gemstone speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass module thrill you with theater-like sound approaching that of traditional five-speaker systems. But here's the difference: There are no wires running to the back of your room. And you can cut back on CD clutter by digitally storing up to 200 hours of your favorite music in the versatile media center. This latest generation 3•2•1® features HDMI connectivity to today's TVs featuring this popular, high resolution input. Through a single wire HDMI connection, the system upconverts DVDs to dramatic 1080p resolution. An easy-to-use universal remote control provides one-touch access to your stored music and manages most entertainment devices attached to your system.

Home theater made simple

The thrill of a home theater experience. The simplicity of fewer speakers and wires. This union of ideals is realized with the 3•2•1 GSX Series III DVD system. Two compact Gemstone speaker arrays flank your television, but produce realistic effects you might expect from rear speakers. A hideaway Acoustimass module delivers emphatic low notes, while keeping a low profile in a corner, or even out of sight.

It all works in concert with proprietary TrueSpace® digital processing circuitry to produce pure Bose sound that convincingly sweeps across your room.But with no rear or center speakers, and no wiring to the back of your room.

Music made easy


If you like less equipment and less clutter, you'll love our approach to your treasured, but unwieldy, CD collection. The 3•2•1 GSX Series III system digitally stores and organizes up to 200 hours of music. The uMusic™ intelligent playback system actually listens to your musical choices 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 your mood, the uMusic system delivers just the songs you want to hear.

An elegant home for your media


The premium media center plays today's most popular audio and video content, along with your digitally stored CDs. It includes a progressive scan DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner and inputs for three additional sources. And its signature design serves as a nice complement to most plasma/LCD televisions.

The 3•2•1 GSX Series III system will also liven up classic movies and TV programs recorded before surround sound. The key is proprietary Videostage® 5 decoding circuitry, which transforms oldies into real goodies with vibrant, room-filling sound.
