Bose Lifestyle 18 - Black Home Theater System

Bose's most affordable Lifestyle DVD home entertainment system contains all you need to enjoy exhilarating music and movie sound. It features several innovations found in more expensive Lifestyle products, including the ADAPTiQ audio calibration system, a system that customizes sound to the size and shape of your room. And 3-inch cube speakers deliver 5.1-channel surround sound suitable for smaller rooms.

The trim and elegant media center enhances - instead of dominates - your decor. It contains much of the proprietary technology behind the performance of this revolutionary system, and also includes an integrated DVD/CD player and an AM/FM tuner with 50 presets. Inputs for up to three additional media players broaden its capabilities. It also contains Videostage 5 decoding circuitry that brings a 5.1-channel experience to practically everything you watch, even older VHS tapes and mono TV programs.

These Virtually Invisible cube speakers rival the performance of many larger speakers. They partner with the Acoustimass module, which delivers low frequency effects. Because it produces low-frequency sound for all channels, the module can be hidden out of sight and all the sound appears to come from the cube speakers.

Every home has unique features that affect sound performance. Only from Bose, the ADAPTiQ audio calibration system compensates for room dimensions and other variables that can impact your listening experience. Place the speakers wherever you like, then sit in your favorite listening spots. The system adjusts for variations in your room, so you enjoy Bose surround sound performance without having to adjust speaker placement.

This system is also designed for expansion to another room. With the Lifestyle 18 system, you can watch a DVD in the main room, while the kids listen to their favorite music downstairs, or you can hear the same sounds in both rooms, all at the touch of a button.
