LIFESTYLE 18 DVD home entertainment system

Hear how great performance and value sound together.

What should a high-performance home cinema system deliver? The LIFESTYLE® 18 DVD home entertainment system lets you hear the thunder of buffalo hooves or the delicate thrum of hummingbird's wings. It incorporates innovative BOSE® technologies with elegant and intuitive design, and represents outstanding value in a home cinema system. Start with the VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE® cube speakers. Just 7.6 cm high, they rival the performance of much larger conventional speakers. The ACOUSTIMASS® module can be concealed behind a curtain or a couch, delivering the low frequency effects that make home cinema so entertaining. You enjoy lifelike sound that covers the whole listening spectrum – and it all appears to come from the five cube speakers.

Simplicity and style.

Simplicity can also be seen in the versatile and stylish media centre at the heart of this system. It's smaller than many laptop computers, yet houses an integrated DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner with RDS and 50 presets, as well as connections for your auxiliary media players in one handsome unit. The radio frequency remote lets you control your system even from another room.
Naturally, the LIFESTYLE® 18 system's digital 5.1 decoding delivers the exciting surround sound effects encoded on your new DVDs, but what about classic films? Proprietary VIDEOSTAGE® 5 decoding circuitry gives you a five-channel surround sound experience from everything you listen to – VHS tapes, stereo CDs, even older mono TV programmes.

Performance you can count on. Every time.

Every home has unique features that affect sound performance. The proprietary ADAPTiQ™ audio calibration system compensates for individual room dimensions and furniture placement. These variables can adversely impact the surround sound experience. Place the speakers wherever you like, then sit in your favourite listening spots. The system automatically adjusts for acoustic variations in your room, so you enjoy optimum sound performance throughout the listening area.

Enjoy BOSE® sound throughout your home.

All LIFESTYLE® DVD systems are equipped with BOSE® link home networking technology 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.
