The advent of high-end, 1080p HD home theater entertainment is at your fingertips with the Bose 3-2-1 GSX Series III DVD Home Theater System. Bose offers superb functionality with its innovative uMusic Intelligent playback system, capable of digitally storing and organizing up to 200 hours of your favorite music. This system is comprised of an integrated A/V receiver/multi-format progressive scan DVD player with an HDMI output, Gemstone speaker arrays with TrueSpace digital processing, Acoustimass bass module, and Videostage 5 Audio Decoding Circuitry. Your current DVD library will look and sound better than ever before because it's capable of upconverting your DVDs to a full 1080p high-definition experience.

On the audio end, the 3-2-1 GSX III is essentially a 24-bit digital media center that utilizes an advanced DSP technology to create independent sound fields that envelop you in an unmatched 5.1-channel Dolby Digital surround-sound experience. It features coaxial and optical digital audio connectivity, and active electronic equalization.

Moreover, multi-room expansion is possible with an optional Bose Link adapter. This powerful option enables distribution of your favorite audio selections to up to 14 additional areas throughout your home, with independent volume control for each area. Additionally, the Bose 3-2-1 GSX III includes a built-in AM/FM tuner, full-function remote control, and all cabling for system connectivity.

uMusic Intelligent Playback System
This proprietary system digitally stores thousands of songs (up to 200 hours) in the media center, freeing you from managing a cumbersome CD collection.
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.
TrueSpace Digital Processing Circuitry
Bose technology that delivers a spacious, multi-channel sound experience with strong center imaging from just two visible speakers and a hideaway Acoustimass module.
Gemstone Speaker Arrays
With a very small footprint, the two Gemstone speakers are capable of delivering breathtaking headroom, with an outstanding audio signal-to-noise. Its unique configuration eliminates the need to install multiple speakers in your home theater set-up, by combining TrueSpace digital processing and acoustical geometry. They are designed to work with home theater systems to create a larger, fuller multi-channel listening area without distorting the sound.
Acoustimass Module
The module delivers the clarity of pure low-frequency reproduction down to the lowest frequencies, even at the loudest levels.
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) w/1080p Upconversion
If you're looking to pump HD video into your HDTV plasma or LCD display, this system will do the job. It features an HDMI output, capable of upconverting standard video signals to 1080p HD resolution. This technology enables the Bose 3-2-1 GSX III to carry high-definition video information through a single cable and achieving the highest quality picture available.
Bose Link
An optional Bose Link (model AL8) allows other Bose speakers and systems to seamlessly connect to a Lifestyle system. So your system becomes the center of a whole-home solution that lets you enjoy sound throughout your home, wherever sound is important.
Progressive Scan
It 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, DVD+R/W, CD, CD-R/RW, VCD, MP3.
5.1-Channel Digital Decoding
Improved surround sound realism from 5.1-encoded DVDs, DBS or HDTV. It has built-in processors to handle the multi-channel decoders for Dolby Digital surround-sound, capable of advanced 24-bit processing with an outstanding sampling frequency range.
Active Electronic Equalization
Balances output of all frequencies to provide natural tonal balance and clarity throughout the audio spectrum.
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 speakers magnetically shielded to prevent picture interference when placed near your TV or display.
Parental Control
For parents who want full control of media content played back through player, the unit's menu features a parental control and rating system (1-8) adjustment.
Full-Feature Remote Control
Included with this package is a full-feature remote control capable of executing every command on the system.

    Comments about Bose 3-2-1 GSX Series III DVD Home Entertainment System (Graphite):

    This is a truly great system. Easy to set-up and use. Great sound from Bose. First Bose system I have owned and now I am a real convert to Bose. The ability to store large number of CD's, make playlists and not have to have a CD player hooked up is fantastic. Great product and well worth the money.

    Comments about Bose 3-2-1 GSX Series III DVD Home Entertainment System (Graphite):

    This is a great little package with amazing sound from Bose! The set up could not have been easier with the instructional DVD that comes with the system. My guests and I am continually impressed by the sound that comes from the two Gemstone speakers and the Accoustimass module!
    Movies are theater quality with crisp and clear sounds including ambient sounds within the picture. Everything from crickets chirping to rainfall and all the sounds of aircraft moving across the screen is exact and clear.
    The systems ability to digitally store music allows me to play my large music library by album, artist or genre. I have even created a playlist for evening dinner parties with friends and family.
    The system is not flawless. Be aware that it does not play 'all' DVD formats and there is no headphone jac for private listening. There is no 'on timer' that I use on my small executive system in my home office as an extra security measure when I'm away from home.
    Overall, I am loving the Bose 3-2-1 GSX system.
    I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in a great home theater in the box.
