• Music Throughout Your Home

Key Features:

• Direct/Reflecting® cube speaker arrays
  Experience rich sound almost anywhere in the room, not just in one small "sweet spot" with this proprietary Bose technology. The cube speaker arrays blend reflected and direct sound to re-create much of a live concert's natural spaciousness.
  
• Horizontal center channel speaker
  Enables acoustic and aesthetic synchronization with your TV. Keeps dialogue focused on the screen, and complements the dimensions of flat-panel displays.
  
• Acoustimass® module
  Hear the clarity of pure, low-frequency reproduction, even at the loudest levels. This Bose breakthrough works in concert with the small speakers to deliver the full range of sound. When the module is placed behind a curtain or chair, all of the sound seems to come directly from the small cube speakers.
  
• Lifestyle® media center
  Enjoy today’s most popular audio and video content with this elegant control center, featuring a built-in progressive scan DVD/CD player and AM/FM tuner. You’ll have high-quality playback for the latest media formats, including: DVD, DVD-R, CD, CD-R/RW, VCD, PCM, digital 5.1, MP3 files and MPEG-2.
  
• Videostage® 5 decoding circuitry
  Proprietary Bose technology allows you to hear five-channel surround sound from practically everything you play, even older TV programs and videotapes recorded in mono.
• An intelligent approach to home theater
  From premium performance to elegance, the Lifestyle® 28 III DVD system is made for your room—with all its unique characteristics. It includes the ADAPTiQ audio calibration system to deliver a consistent surround sound presentation in any room, while offering greater freedom of speaker placement. This proprietary technology analyzes and adjusts your Lifestyle® system's sound to your room's dimensions, speaker placement and preferred seating locations. In a matter of minutes, you'll have Bose quality sound the way you like it. Nice and easy.
  
• Great sound never looked so good
  The brushed silver media center features an integrated progressive scan DVD/CD player and AM/FM tuner. This one unit elegantly accomplishes everything that conventional home theater systems use multiple components to achieve. But it's also the hub of a whole-home entertainment system, made possible by Bose® link home networking technology. This home networking technology allows you to connect compatible Bose products to your Lifestyle® 28 III system for sound in as many as 14 additional rooms, even outdoors. Because, like you, your sound shouldn't live in one room. With Bose® link technology, you can have independent volume control in each room, as well as access to two different audio streams from the same Lifestyle® system.
  
  Direct/Reflecting® cube speaker arrays, standing roughly 6" high, blend nicely with your décor. They combine with a sleek, horizontal center channel speaker to deliver a level of sound you'd expect from much larger speakers. And the Acoustimass® module—now 30% smaller than the previous model—reproduces deep, resonant low notes while stationed inconspicuously almost anywhere in your room. The result? Riveting surround sound that seems to come from smaller speakers, whether it's the hypnotic whisper of rustling leaves or the pure power of a ferocious storm.
• Oldies are goodies
  Lifestyle® systems are designed to make the most of DVDs and the rest of today's digital media. But you may still hold a spot in your heart for the film or TV classics you have on VHS. Keep them … and enjoy them. The Lifestyle® 28 III DVD system features an integrated suite of signal processing capabilities, including Videostage® 5 decoding circuitry and digital 5.1 decoding. Together, they ensure a high-quality, 5.1-channel surround experience from practically any source. Even those recorded well before surround sound was an option.
