The Lifestyle
®
48, 38, 28, and 18 systems provide four wonderful choices designed to meet
different budget and performance requirements. They all share common features, including
an elegant media center, hideaway Acoustimass
®
module, radio frequency remote control,
Bose
®
link and the ADAPTiQ
®
audio calibration system.
The difference in system performance is defined by the availability of the uMusic
™
intelli-
gent playback system (see Lifestyle
®
38 and 48 system Q & As for more information) and by
the type of speakers included with the system.
We’ve made many improvements to the new Lifestyle
®
28 Series II system.They include:
• Improved acoustic performance
• Improved user interface
• Enhanced control integration, including personal video recorders and CD jukeboxes
• Ability to sense TV power on plasma and LCD as well as CRT and projection
• Progressive scan video rendering

link
Bose
®
link is our proprietary technology that allows Bose products located in up to 14 different
rooms to play sources from a single Lifestyle
®
system and its connected components. Bose
®
link-
compatible products (such as a 3·2·1 home entertainment system or Lifestyle
®
stereo amplifier)
in various rooms can communicate with the Lifestyle
®
system independently, with their own
volume, mute and on/off controls. In addition, a Bose
®
link-enabled room has a choice between
two independent audio streams coming from the Lifestyle
®
media center.
An audio stream is similar to a TV channel – different channels have different content.With
Bose
®
link, the streams have content from the different audio sources generated or enabled by
the Lifestyle
®
system. For example,one stream might have music from the internal CD player,
while the other stream could be the FM tuner, or even a connected component, such as a TV.
An audio stream-based approach offers far more flexibility than the traditional zone approach.
In a zone approach, audio systems in different rooms are physically linked together. Two
rooms in a zone, such as the master bedroom and the kitchen, must always have the same
audio output.With the stream approach, each room gives the listener a choice between the
two audio streams, so the person in the kitchen can listen to the radio while the person in
the bedroom listens to a CD.
Factors such as a room’s size and shape, the placement of speakers, and where someone sits
to listen affect sound in different ways. Furthermore, everyone’s room arrangement is differ-
ent.The ADAPTiQ audio calibration system is an innovative Bose technology that analyzes and
adjusts the system’s sound to ensure a quality Bose performance regardless of the room. The
ADAPTiQ system is available with all DVD-based Lifestyle
®
systems.
