INTRODUCTION
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing a Bose® LIFESTYLE® DVD home entertainment system. Through
proprietary Bose technologies and innovative LIFESTYLE® system design, this elegant and
easy-to-use system delivers superior performance for both music and video programming.
Introducing the uMusicTM intelligent playback system
One innovative feature of your new home entertainment system – a revolutionary advance-
ment unique to this Bose product – is the uMusicTM intelligent playback system.
You may have seen a demonstration and know how this new approach to storing and
enjoying your own CDs adds listening pleasure with so little effort.
For a detailed explanation
If you have never seen or heard how this new feature works, we suggest you take a few
minutes now to review “Presenting a New Way to Play” on page 48. With that insight, you
can better explore and exploit all this system has to offer. Or, you may refer to the small,
color-coded uMusicTM System Guide provided in the carton.
Clarifying some basics
You may consider yourself a dedicated audiophile or someone who simply loves music.
Regardless of your level of expertise, the explanations that follow may prove helpful in under-
standing some of the terms and technologies associated with the advanced audio and video
options available today.
Types of discs you can use with this system
Your system is engineered to play the disc types listed below, some of which are identified by
corresponding logos:
•
SACD content if it is CD-
compatible
•
Regarding copy
protection
Music and other
content may be
•
Audio CDs
– including those with DTS
•
•
Video CDs (VCDs)
DVD-R, DVD-RW
•
•
CD-R, CD-RW, or CD-ROM
protected by interna-
tional and domestic
copyright laws and
may contain specific
restrictions on use
and/or reproduction.
Please respect the
rights of the artists
and other copyright
holders.
MP3 CDs created with:
– All tracks burned in a
single, closed session
•
Video DVDs
– Use of ISO9660 disc format
–including those with DTS
–Each file named with an
“.mp3” extension and no
other periods
–including those with Dolby
Digital
– File tags no higher than ID3
(ID3v2).
Any difficulties experienced in playing compatible CDs or DVDs may be related to the rates at
which data was recorded to the disc or to the optical characteristics of the recording device
used.
Check DVDs for region number compatibility
For a DVD disc to be compatible with a player, their respective region numbers must match.
These numbers are assigned by the geographic region where the player and disc are sold.
You can find the region number for your system on the bottom of the media center.
If you have trouble playing a DVD disc, check to see if the region number marked
on the disc label or packaging matches the region number of your system. A DVD
and media center marked for use in Region 1 should display the symbol at right.
