Bose's Lifestyle 38IV features its uMusic intelligent playback system, capable of digitally storing and organizing up to 200 hours of your favorite music.

This exquisite package features an integrated A/V receiver/multi-format progressive-scan DVD player, ADAPTiQ calibration, Direct Reflecting speakers, Acoustimass Bass Module, and Videostage 5 audio decoding. In addition, the Lifestyle 38IV offers 1080p upscaling, HDMI, coaxial/optical digital audio I/O, and a built-in AM/FM tuner. Also, enjoy multi-room expansion capabilities with the included Bose Link. This powerful feature enables the Bose Lifestyle 38IV to distribute your favorite audio selections to up to 14 additional areas throughout your home, with independent volume control for each area.

Features

• Innovative Bose Speaker Array

With the Lifestyle 38IV System, you get the experience of a full home theater without speakers and cables overcrowding your room. The Direct Reflecting speakers use technological innovation to give you the effects you might expect from having rear speakers.

• uMusic Audio Storage

This proprietary system digitally stores thousands of songs (up to 200 hours) in the media center, freeing you from managing a cumbersome CD collection.

• ADAPTiQ Audio Calibration

Taking the guesswork out of setting up your system, Bose has introduced ADAPTiQ that analyzes your room's dimensions and makes the adjustments automatically for optimum performance.

• Videostage 5 Decoding Circuitry

With this proprietary Bose technology, you can enjoy five-channel surround sound from everything you play, including older TV programs and VHS tapes originally recorded in mono.

• Acoustimass Module

The module delivers the clarity of pure low-frequency reproduction down to the lowest frequencies, even at the loudest levels.

• Bose Link

Allows other Bose speakers and systems to seamlessly connect to a Lifestyle system. So your Lifestyle system becomes the center of a whole-home solution that lets you enjoy sound throughout your home, wherever sound is important.

• VS-2 Video Enhancer

Simplifies the integration of a Lifestyle system with other video sources, including those with HDMI. Connect just one wire from the VS-2 video enhancer to the back of your TV, and receive the correct audio and video with the press of one button.

• High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)

If you're looking to pump high-definition DVDs or TV broadcasts into your home theater, the Lifestyle 38IV will do the job. It features an HDMI output, capable of upconverting video signals to 1080p HD resolution. In addition, the LS38IV offers an HDMI input for connectivity to other high-definition components.

• Progressive Scan

The Lifestyle 38IV features progressive scan playback, capable of scanning an entire video frame at once; scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. The result is a spectacularly clear image with no motion artifacts (stair-stepping), and details so sharp they seem as if they're etched onto the screen.

• Multi-Format Playback Capability

It offers a full-range of playback capabilities for enjoying movies, music and images. It can playback DVD-Audio/Video, DVD-R/W, CD, CD-R/RW, CD-ROM, PCM, VCD, MP3, MPEG-2.

• Digital Surround Sound

The dynamic range of the this system is so well balanced and matched, that the center, front and rear channels blend effortlessly into a surreal home theater experience.

• Built-In AM/FM

Enjoy your favorite radio broadcasts with surround sound processing, with the built-in AM/FM wide-band tuner.

• Magnetically Shielded

The four satellite and center speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent picture interference when placed near your TV or display.

• Full-Feature Remote Control

Included with this package is a full-feature remote control capable of executing every command on the Lifestyle 38IV system.
