Thank you for purchasing a LIFESTYLE
proprietary Bose technologies and innovative LIFESTYLE
rior performance for both music and video programming from an elegant and easy-to-use
system.
Note: Because DVD is a relatively new technology, please take the time to read through this
manual and familiarize yourself with the features of your new system.
The DVD player in your system can play the following types of discs having the
corresponding logos:
• Video DVDs
• Audio CDs
• CD-Rs or CD-R/Ws
• MP3 CDs
For a DVD player and DVD disc to be compatible, their region numbers must match. These
numbers are allocated according to where the player and disc are sold.
Check the region number on the bottom of the media center included with your system. Then
be sure to choose only DVD discs that show the same region number on the disc label or
packaging.
For example, a Region 1 DVD player should display the following mark:
Operating instructions include names of buttons on the remote control and on the media cen-
ter front panel, and menu items appearing on your TV screen and on the media center display.
• Button names appear in boldface type. For example, "Press the CD/DVD button".
If a button has only a symbol, that will be used.
• On-screen display messages appearing on your TV screen will be in boldface type with a
line above and below. For example, "Use the Audio Setup menu to adjust the sound".
• Messages appearing on the media center display are represented by a narrow boldface
uppercase type. For example, " REPEAT: TRACK appears when the repeat disc track mode is
selected".
Aspect ratio – The shape of the rectangular picture in a TV set expressed as the width of the
picture relative to the height. For example, if a TV picture has an aspect ratio of 4:3 (read as 4
by 3), the shape of that picture is 4 units wide by 3 units high. The two standard TV aspect
ratios are 4:3 and 16:9.
Chapter – In DVD-Video, a division of a title. Technically called a part of title (PTT).
