Introduction
Before you begin
Thank you for purchasing the Bose® 3•2•1 Series II or 3•2•1 GS Series II DVD home
entertainment system, which offers superb sound, elegance, and simplicity in an advanced
home audio setup. Using Bose proprietary signal processing technology, the 3•2•1 Series II
systems provide improved spaciousness from stereo recordings, and bold movie effects from
surround-encoded materials. Yet its few parts require little effort to set up, so you can enjoy
your new system’s performance right away.
Your system includes:
• Integrated AM/FM tuner and DVD/CD player in a small console
• Small, easy-to-place shelf speakers and an attractive hideaway Acoustimass® module
• Easy-to-use infrared remote control
• Console input jacks for connecting other audio devices (such as a VCR, cable or
satellite box)

Selecting compatible discs
The DVD/CD player built into the 3•2•1 series II media center can play the following types of
discs identified by their corresponding logos:
• Video DVDs

• Audio CDs

• Video CDs

• CD-R and CD-R/Ws

• DVD-R, DVD+R

• MP3 CDs

Check for region code compatibility
For a DVD player and DVD disc to be compatible, their region code numbers must match.
These numbers are allocated according to where the player and disc are sold. The 3•2•1
Series II DVD home entertainment systems have a region code which must also match the
DVD discs.
Check the region code number on the carton of the 3•2•1 Series II DVD home entertainment
system or on the bottom of the media center that comes in the carton. Then be sure to
choose only DVD discs that show the same region number on the disc label or front cover.
For example, a Region 1 DVD disc should display the following mark:

MP3 compatibility
To be compatible with the 3•2•1 Series II or 3•2•1 GS Series II home entertainment systems,
MP3s must meet the following criteria:
• All tracks must be burned in a single closed session
• The disc format must be ISO9660
• Each file must have a “.mp3” extension and have no other periods in the filename

Introduction
Glossary of terms
Aspect Ratio – The shape of the rectangular picture in a TV set. It is the width of the picture
relative to the height. Our standard TV picture, in terminology used by that industry, is 4 units
wide by 3 units high, or 4:3 (read as 4 by 3) in aspect ratio. There are currently two standard
TV aspect ratios, 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 signal split into three parts: luminance and two color signals
(marked as YPbPr). It provides the highest resolution video, but cannot be processed by all
television sets.
Composite Video – A single video signal that contains luminance, color, and synchronization
information. NTSC and PAL are examples of composite video systems.
Dolby Laboratories

– Developer of a perceptual coding system for audio.

Letterbox – The projected aspect ratio of feature films is often 16:9 rather than the 4:3 aspect
ratio of most TVs. Therefore, it is becoming common practice to transfer films to video with
black borders at the top and bottom of the picture. The film picture becomes a “letterbox”
within the video.
MPEG – a type of data compression used for audio or video storage on disc.
MP3 – MPEG-1 Layer III audio. This is a compressed audio format that allows you to record

of the digital audio signal used for both CD and laserdisc. It is a serial data stream that is
coded for transmission or recording. PCM is also used for many other types of serial data
communications.
S-video – A video interface standard that carries separate luminance and chrominance
signals, usually on a four-pin mini-DIN connector. Also called Y/C. The quality of S-video is
significantly better than composite video since it does not require a comb filter to separate
the signals. Most high-end televisions have S-video inputs.
Title – numbered elements of the DVD contents, which may include more than the movie
alone.
Track – Individual selections recorded on an audio tape or disc.

System Setup
Selecting locations for your 3•2•1 Series II system components
Use the following guidelines and Figure 2 to choose locations and positions for the components of your 3•2•1 home entertainment system.
Note: While these guidelines are offered to help provide great system performance, you may find
other placement choices that are more convenient and provide the sound you enjoy.

Placing the media center
CAUTION: Do not block any ventilation openings. For reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, put the product in a position and location that will not interfere with its
proper ventilation. For example, do not place the product on a bed, sofa, or similar surface that
may block the ventilation openings. Do not put it in a built-in system, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may keep air from flowing through its ventilation openings.
• Place the media center where nothing obstructs opening the disc tray on its front panel.
• Make sure the media center will be placed close enough to the Acoustimass® module and
the speakers so that all the cables will reach.
• Make sure the media center will be placed close enough to additional source devices (TV,
VCR or cable box) so that all the cables will reach.
Note: Make sure that the front of the media center is unobstructed so that it may receive
IR (infrared) commands from the remote control.

System Setup
Placing the speakers
Choosing a good location for the speakers will allow you to experience the audio surround
effects that your 3•2•1 home entertainment system is designed to deliver.
• Place the two speakers either on top of the TV or at equal distance from the left and right of
the TV screen (Figure 2). Keep both speakers at approximately the same height.
• Place each speaker within 3 feet (1 meter) of the edge of the TV screen. Placing the
speakers more than 3 feet away from the TV can cause the sound to become separated
from the picture.
• If you are using a bookshelf or a home entertainment unit, place each speaker at the
front edge of its shelf. Positioning the speakers too far back in an enclosed space can
change the overall quality of sound and alter the movie sound effects.
• Place the speakers at least 3 feet (1 meter) apart from each other to optimize the
surround sound experience.
CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for both speakers. Vibration can cause the speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. If you
are placing the speakers on a flat surface, be sure to attach the smaller of the two sets of supplied rubber feet to the bottom surface. You may obtain additional rubber feet (part number
178321) from Bose® Customer Service. To contact Bose, refer to the list of offices included in the
product carton.
Note: The speakers can be mounted on Bose brackets, table stands, or floor stands. For ordering information, refer to “Accessories” on page 53. Additional or longer cables may also be
ordered.
Figure 3

• Place the speakers only on their bottom surfaces, with the Bose logo right-side up.

Recommended speaker
placement

• Aim the speakers straight ahead toward the listening area. Do not place the speakers at an
angle. Angling one or both speakers into or away from the listening area significantly alters system performance.

System Setup
Placing the Acoustimass® module
• Place the Acoustimass® module within reach of the cable from the music center and an AC
(mains) power outlet.
• Place the module at the same end of the room as the TV and the speakers (Figure 4).
• Keep the module at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the TV to prevent the module from
interfering with the TV screen.
Figure 4

• Attach the medium-sized rubber feet to the bottom of each foot on the module. The rubber
feet provide increased stability and protection from scratches.
• Choose a convenient location such as under a table, behind a sofa or chair, or behind
drapes, but do not block the port opening.
• Aim the port of the module into the room or along the wall. This prevents a blocked port or
over-powering bass.
• Stand the Acoustimass module on its feet. Do not lay it on its side or stand it on either end
(Figure 5).

System Setup
VCR considerations
• Some combination TV/VCR units may not work with 3•2•1 Series II home entertainment
systems. Please refer to your TV/VCR owner’s manual for information.
• A stereo VCR is required for optimal sound performance. If your VCR has only one audio
output and is not labeled Stereo or Hi-fi, you have a mono VCR. You will need a
Y-adapter cable (available at electronics stores) to connect audio to the media center. For
this setup, you will need to select “Mono decoding” (see “TV, CBL-SAT, and AUX settings
menu” on page 43) so your 3•2•1 system will simulate surround sound effects from a mono
source. Otherwise, you will hear mono sound from both speakers.

Advanced setup options
Making S-video connections (higher quality video)
An S-video input jack, provided on many TVs, delivers a higher quality TV picture than the
composite video output connection shown in Figure 11. For this connection you will need an
S-video cable which can be purchased from your Bose dealer or a local electronics retailer.
• Insert one end of the S-video cable into the S-Video OUT jack on the media
center (Figure 14).
• Insert the other end of the S-video cable into the S-VIDEO IN jack on your TV.

System Setup
Making component video connections (highest quality video)
Note: Component video connections are required in order to use the progressive scan feature of
your 3•2•1 system. Your TV must also support this feature. To turn on the progressive scan feature, see “Video options” on page 47.
For the highest quality video from DVDs, you may want to use a component video connection
between the media center and the TV. To do so, your TV must provide component video jacks
(typically labelled Y, Pb, and Pr). Refer to your TV owner’s guide for more information.
To make component video connections you will need three video grade cables that are long
enough to reach from the rear of the media center to your TV (Figure 15). If the cables are not
supplied with your TV, you can purchase them separately.
1. On the media center rear panel, plug one video cable into the Component Y, Pb, and Pr
video output jacks (Figure 15).
2. Plug the other end of each video cable into the corresponding (color or letter code) component video jack on the back of your TV.

IMPORTANT FOR COMPONENT VIDEO USERS
Input signals received by the C (Composite) or S-Video IN jacks are not passed through to
the Component video OUT jacks. If you connect an external video device to the C or
S-Video IN jack, you must also connect the C or S-Video OUT jack on the media center to
the respective video input jack on your TV. To view the external video input on your TV, you
will need to select the TV video input used for that device. To view the onscreen menus of
the 3•2•1 system, you will need to switch back to the TV’s component video input.
Note: For more information, or to purchase the video cables, contact your local electronics store
or authorized Bose dealer.

System Setup
Connecting digital audio devices
Some audio devices may feature a digital audio output for optimum sound performance. Use
an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable, as appropriate, to connect this output to the
digital input on the media center. You can purchase the required cables at a local electronics
store.
On the media center rear panel, an optical digital cable connects to the OPTICAL jack. A
coaxial cable connects to the audio input jacks labeled D.
Note: The digital audio inputs of the 3•2•1 system are not able to decode a DTS bitstream from
an external audio device. Only a DTS bitstream from the internal DVD player can be decoded.
Note: Before you can benefit from the optical connection, you will need to assign the optical
connector to the audio source in the system settings menu. See “Media center options” on
page 48.

Connecting your cable/satellite box, TV, and VCR to the media center
The 3•2•1 home entertainment system provides flexibility for you to add up to three external
audio devices, including your TV, directly to the media center.
Figure 17 shows you an advanced setup using a TV, VCR and cable/satellite box. In this
setup, please notice the following:
• S-video connections are used to deliver the cable/satellite signal to the media center.
Therefore, the media center output video is sent to the TV also through an S-video
connection.
• Analog and digital coax audio connections are shown for the cable/satellite box. As an
option, you may use an optical digital connection. However, before you can benefit from the
optical connection, you will need to assign the optical connector to the cable/satellite box
audio source in the system settings menu. See “Media center options” on page 48.
• When connecting an audio device to the media center jacks, remember to match the red
jack to the right channel (R) and the white (or black) jack to the left channel (L).
• For further details on making the video connections between your VCR and TV, refer to the
manuals for these video devices.
Note: The recommendations contained in this owner’s guide are basic suggestions for connecting external devices to the 3•2•1 Series II system. Instructions and terminology pertinent to these
external devices may vary, depending on the manufacturer. Consult the owner’s guide that came
with the device for clarification on setup and usage before making any connections.
