Before you begin

Thank you for purchasing the Bose

Lifestyle

50 system. Years of research lie behind this

complete audio home entertainment system – the most advanced home theater system from

Bose. Technological innovations that make the Lifestyle

50 system unique include the Bose

Personal™ music center, which places all system operations in the palm of your hand, and

tiny Jewel Cube

speakers.

The interactive Personal music center is a clear departure from convention, communicating

with the system through a two-way radio data link. The result for you is full control of this

entertainment system as you move about your home.

The Bose Jewel Cube speakers are also far from conventional. Proprietary technologies

ensure that these tiny speakers not only fill a room with sound, but also reproduce it more

accurately than traditionally designed loudspeakers.

The other elements of the Lifestyle

50 system are designed to be hidden from view:

• The elegant Lifestyle

CD changer, designed to give you flexibility in where it is placed

• The hideaway powered Acoustimass

module that delivers the rich, full, lifelike bass

• The Bose multi-room interface, with four independent audio outputs that allow you to

enjoy Bose sound throughout your home.

Realism and impact

Your Lifestyle

50 system is equipped with an all new Videostage

decoder that uses digital

signal processing. The result is increased surround sound realism and impact both for movie

soundtracks and music recordings. The Videostage decoder processes analog formats, as

well as two or even single-channel PCM and Dolby Digital bitstreams, and helps to deliver the

acoustic experience of the movies right in your home.

Compatibility

Your system is fully compatible with:

• Digital-audio bitstreams. Look for the symbol 1 or the terms Dolby Digital or

PCM on DVD-Video disks. Your Lifestyle

50 system cannot process MPEG-2 or DTS

digital bitstreams.

• Surround-sound sources such as VCRs, stereo TVs, cable boxes and satellite

receivers. Videostage decoding directs stereo information to the surround channels, so

the sound of stereo broadcasts and rented or recorded tapes can approach that of

your DVD disks.

• Surround-encoded analog or digital audio signals. Look for the terms Surround or

Dolby Surround, or the symbol 3 on tapes and discs, and the word “sur-

round” preceding a TV broadcast.

• Stereo program material from TV, FM, CD and cassette. Videostage decoding

delivers five channels, even when the original source contained only one or two.

• Monoaural program material. Videostage decoding can process a one-channel

program into five-channel sound and direct the result to five independent speakers.

Dialogue remains locked on-screen, while music and ambient effects fill the room.

Automatic sound level monitoring and control

Your enjoyment of movies is enhanced by Digital Dynamic Range

compression. This technol-

ogy automatically monitors and adjusts the volume to let you to hear soft sounds, particularly

dialogue, but prevents you from being overwhelmed by loud special effects. This is especially

useful for late night viewing – it eliminates the need to constantly adjust the volume.
