Bose Lifestyle 28 Series II home theater system

Date Published: 3/27/06

The Bose Lifestyle 28 Series II is a complete home theater system with a self-calibration function that takes the guesswork out of installation, providing optimal acoustic response for whatever environment it inhabits.

This ADAPTiQ system uses a microphone placed in the listening space to perfectly tune the Lifestyle 28 to a room's acoustics. Combine this with Bose's legendary audio reproduction, and you've got the ingredients for a top-notch home theater experience.

The speakers are what make this system. The Lifestyle 28 uses Bose's Direct/Reflecting cube speakers that create a huge sound from very tiny cabinets. The subwoofer can be hidden out of sight, although it's attractive enough to leave in a visible location. The progressive scan disc player is compatible with DVD-Video, CD, CD-R/RW, VCD and MP3, and the system has built-in decoding for Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound.

The Lifestyle 28 has inputs and outputs for composite, S-video, and component video signals. There are four analog audio inputs, four coaxial digital audio inputs, and one optical digital audio input. This system also has an analog audio output and optical and coaxial digital audio outputs.

The Bose Lifestyle 28 Series II is a great way to experience the wonderful sound of the Direct/Reflecting speaker technology.
