Great sound never looked so good
The
brushed silver
media center features an integrated progressive scan DVD/CD player and AM/FM tuner. This one unit elegantly accomplishes everything that conventional home theater systems use multiple components to achieve. But it's also the hub of a whole-home entertainment system, made possible by Bose® link home networking technology. This home networking technology allows you to connect compatible Bose products to your Lifestyle® 28 III system for sound in as many as 14 additional rooms, even outdoors. Because, like you, your sound shouldn't live in one room. With Bose® link technology, you can have independent volume control in each room, as well as access to two different audio streams from the same Lifestyle® system.
Direct/Reflecting® cube speaker arrays, standing
roughly 6" high, blend nicely with your décor. They combine with a sleek,
horizontal center channel speaker to deliver a level of sound you'd expect from
much larger speakers. And the Acoustimass® module —now 30% smaller than the previous model—reproduces deep, resonant low notes while stationed inconspicuously almost anywhere in your room. The result Riveting surround sound that seems to come from smaller speakers, whether it's the hypnotic whisper of rustling leaves or the pure power of a ferocious storm.
Simplicity for your video sources
Simplify the integration of a Lifestyle® system with
your video components—including those with HDMI—and get the best picture
possible. The new VS-2 video enhancer (sold separately) automatically
synchronizes 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.
No matter what you want to hear—or where you want to
hear it—the Lifestyle® 28 Series III DVD system makes it all possible with
performance, elegance and simplicity.
