Breakthrough technologies make listening easy.

The ADAPTiQ audio calibration system evaluates your room's acoustics and where your speakers are placed. Then it automatically adjusts the sound to your room environment, ensuring consistent Bose quality performance.

Now, consider that CD collection you've compiled for years. Why let it eat up space when you can have thousands of songs right at your fingertips? The Lifestyle 38 DVD system features the uMusic intelligent playback system to digitally store up to 200 hours of your music. While you're listening to your CDs, the uMusic system learns your preferences so it can automatically select and play the songs you enjoy. No menus, no playlists, no computer.

All of this technology resides in one elegant media center, featuring an integrated progressive scan DVD player and AM/FM tuner.

Enjoy Bose sound throughout your home.

All Lifestyle DVD systems are equipped with Bose link to bring Bose sound to as many as 14 additional rooms, even outdoors. Simply add compatible Bose products for access to your entire music collection from any room in your home. You can choose from 2 audio streams in any of these rooms and enjoy independent volume control, as well.

Small speakers, big performance.

Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays stand just over 6" high, yet provide thrilling, enveloping sound for everything you listen to or watch. These small speakers work in concert with the proprietary Acoustimass module to fill your room with lifelike surround sound. The Acoustimass module produces resonant lows that add impact to action sequences and depth to musical selections. Just place it in a corner or behind furniture, and all the sound seems to come from the cube speaker arrays.

You'll even enjoy more from your VHS favorites. Videostage 5 decoding circuitry and digital 5.1 decoding give you a 5.1-channel presentation from practically any source, including vintage TV and movies.

From the latest media to your cherished classics, the Lifestyle 38 DVD system has just about all you'll need to make home theater easy and exciting.
