28 SERIES II DVD HOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
Q

A five-speaker surround sound experience from mono TV shows The next-
generation Lifestyle
®
home entertainment systems, using Videostage
®
5 decoding circuitry,
can deliver a five-speaker surround sound experience even from mono TV shows.With
Dolby
®
Digital 1.0 (monaural) program material, the five-speaker surround sound expe-
rience is delivered automatically. If a TV broadcast or VHS tape is in mono, customers
can enjoy a full five-speaker surround sound experience by pressing and holding the
“five-speaker”button to engage the monaural decoder. (They will hear a chime, and
then they will hear all five speakers come on.)
Five-speaker surround sound from stereo CDs Many conventional home the-
ater systems are challenged when playing stereo CDs through all five speakers. However,
Bose
®
proprietary Videostage 5 decoding circuitry delivers a realistic listening experience
with the vocalist or predominant instrument appearing centered, the backup instru-
ments remaining spacious, and ambient instrumentation appearing in the surround
channels. If customers would rather listen through two speakers, they simply press
the “Speaker 2-3-5” button on the remote control and select the two-speaker mode.
Yes. Most of the decoding technology available today was originally designed to work in com-
mercial movie theaters a significantly different environment than most homes.Because Bose
specifically engineered Videostage 5 decoding circuitry to reproduce the experience of the
cinema in a living room, the Lifestyle
®
28 system offers your customers important advantages:
Deep, low notes from a single source Videostage 5 decoding and post-processing
circuitry sums the lower frequencies from all channels into the single Acoustimass
®
module, which can easily be hidden out of sight. Integrating all the low-note production
into one source reduces unpredictable acoustic effects that may be caused by placement
of multiple low-note enclosures in the room.
Improved on-screen localization In most homes, the center channel speaker is
placed above or below the TV screen.With the Videostage 5 circuitry in the Lifestyle
®
system, output from the three front Virtually Invisible
®
cube speakers is integrated to
establish a sonic image of the center channel information in the center of the screen.
Most of the other decoders available today tend to steer the center channel information
directly to the center speaker an arrangement that works well in movie theaters,
where the center speakers are set directly behind the screen, but perhaps not so well
in homes, where the center speaker is generally above or below the TV picture.
Advanced surround channel controls The Lifestyle
®
28 system includes
surround controls that allow you to adjust the direction that the surround channel
information comes from, so you feel enveloped by sound. In addition, the Lifestyle
®
28 system preserves the surround information that Hollywood intended. Unlike the
surround controls of most conventional systems, the Lifestyle
®
28 system control
does not just turn down the surround, but actually fades it from rear to front, so the
information in the surround channels is not lost even if you fade the sound all the
way to the front.
In order to meet the demands of today’s movie soundtracks,the Acoustimass module delivers
low frequencies with more clarity, even at very loud levels.Utilizing a proprietary hybrid
approach,innovative technology combines several approaches to low-frequency reproduction,
allowing prodigious airflow at the lowest frequencies without port compression or other
audible problems.You can hide the module out of sight, and all the sound seems to come
from the tiny cube speakers.
Are there any other
advantages offered by
Videostage
®
5 decoding
circuitry compared with
conventional decoding
technology?
What are the benefits of
the hideaway Acoustimass
®
module?
