Welcome

Thank you for purchasing a LIFESTYLE*_DVD-based home entertainment system. Through

proprietary Bose technologies and innovative LIFESTYLE" systems design, it delivers supe-

rior performance for both music and video programming from an elegant and easy-to-use

system.

,_ Note: Because DVD is a relatively new technology, please take the time to read through this

manual and familiarize yourself with the features of your new system.

Types of discs you can play

The DVD player in your system can play the following types of discs having the

corresponding Iogos:

• Video DVDs

• Video CDs (VCDs)

• Audio CDs 1011D°_

mBn'AL NJmD

• CD-Rs or CD-R/Ws

• MP3 CDs

Check for region number compatibility

For any DVD player and DVD disc to be compatible, their region numbers must match. These

numbers are allocated according to where the player and disc are sold.

Check the region number on the bottom of the media center included with your system. Then

be sure to choose only DVD discs that show the same region number on the disc label or

packaging.

For example, a Region 1 DVD player should display the following mark:

Glossary

Aspect ratio - The shape of the rectangular picture in a TV set expressed as the width of the

picture relative to the height. For example, if a TV picture has an aspect ratio of 4:3 (read as 4

by 3), the shape of that picture is 4 units wide by 3 units high. The two standard TV aspect

ratios are 4:3 and 16:9.

Chapter - In DVD-Video, a division of a title. Technically called a part of title (PTT).

Component video - A video system containing three separate color component signals,

either red/green/blue (RGB) or chroma/color difference (YPbPr), in analog or digital form. The

MPEG-2 encoding system used by DVD is based on color-difference component digital

video.

Composite video - A single video signal that contains luminance, color, and synchronization

information. NTSC and PAL are examples of composite video systems.

D[],D_ - The logo representing Dolby Digital.

Dolby Digital - A perceptual coding system for audio, developed by Dolby Laboratories and

accepted as an international standard. Dolby Digital is the most common means of encoding

multi-channel audio.

- The logo representing DTS.

DTS - A type of multi-channel surround sound format used on discs.

DVD - An acronym that is most commonly known to mean Digital Video Disc or Digital Versa-

tile Disc. The audio/video/data storage system is based on 12-cm optical discs.

DVD video - A standard for storing and reproducing audio and video on DVD-ROM discs,

based on MPEG video, Dolby Digital and MPEG audio, and other proprietary data formats.

IR - An acronym for infrared. Pertains to the type of remote that sends/receives commands

on an infrared light beam.

Letterbox - A video format which has black borders at the top and bottom of the picture.

MP3 - MPEG-1 Layer III audio. This is a compressed audio format that allows you to record

many hours of music on a single CD.

NTSC - An acronym for National Television System Committee. The U.S. organization that

developed both the American Black & White and Color television system.

PAL - An acronym for Phase Alternate Line. This is one of several composite video systems.

The PAL format is used extensively in Western Europe.

Pan &Scan - The technique of reframing a picture to conform to a different aspect ratio by

cropping parts of the picture. DVD-Video players can automatically create a 4:3 pan & scan

version from widescreen video by using a horizontal offset encoded with the video.

PCM - The form of the digital audio signal used for both CD and laserdisc. It is a serial data

stream that is coded for transmission or recording.

S-video - A video interface standard that carries separate luminance and chrominance sig-

nals, usually on a four-pin mini-DIN connector. Also called Y/C. The quality of S-video is sig-

nificantly better than composite video since it does not require a comb filter to separate the

signals. Most high-end televisions have S-video inputs.

Videostage ®5- Our proprietary Videostage 5 decoding circuitry gives you a five-channel

surround sound experience from everything you listen to - VHS tapes, stereo CDs, even

mono TV programs.

YPbPr - A component analog video signal containing one luminance and two chrominance

components. Often referred to loosely as YUV or Y, B-Y, R-Y.

The remote control

Before you play your first DVD

This section tells you how to use the DVD player in your system to play video DVDs. Before

you play your first DVD, make note of the following:

• Make sure that you are familiar with the functions of the remote control buttons (see "The

remote control" on page 7). Although some remote control buttons look the same as those

found on a VCR or CD player remote, their functions are different.

• In order for some system features to work, the DVDs that you play must be encoded with

the information for that feature. For example, in order to display subtitles while watching a

movie, the disc must contain subtitle information.

• Both the DVD player in your system and the discs you play are coded by region. In order for
