Enjoy Bose sound throughout your home

All Lifestyle® home theater audio 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 two 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, but provide thrilling, enveloping sound for everything you listen to or watch. A horizontal center-channel speaker locks dialogue on screen and provides an aesthetic match for flat-panel televisions. 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 center channel and cube speaker arrays.

Simplicity for your video sources

Simplify the integration of a Lifestyle® system with your video sources—including those with HDMI—and get the best picture possible. The new VS-2 video enhancer 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.

From the latest media to your cherished classics, the Lifestyle® 38 DVD system has just about all you'll need to create a thrilling home theater experience.
