Check DVDs for region number compatibility

For a DVD disc to be compatible with a player, their respective region numbers must match. These numbers are assigned by the geographic region where the player and disc are sold.

You can find the region number for your system on the bottom of the media center. If you have trouble playing a DVD disc, check to see if the region number marked on the disc label or packaging matches the region number of your system. A DVD and media center marked for use in Region 1 should display the symbol at right.

Glossary of terms

AAspect ratio – An expression for the width of the picture relative to the height and seen when as a rectangular TV image. For example, if the aspect ratio is 4:3 (read as 4 by 3), the shape of that picture is 4 units wide by 3 units high. The standard TV aspect ratios are 4:3 and 16:9.

Chapter – A main division of contents in a DVD title.

Component video – Also called YPbPr, this video signal is split into three parts: luminance and two color signals for considerably better resolution than can be provided by either composite or S-video signals. This more complex signal also requires the use of component connection jacks, which are not available on all televisions or video components.

Composite video – The simplest of three types of video signal, which combines rather than separates brightness (black and white) and color information. It provides the lowest resolution of the three, but is compatible with the broadest range of televisions and other video components and requires a simple video cable connection to RCA jacks.

DDolby Digital – A perceptual coding system for audio, developed by Dolby Laboratories and accepted as an international standard. Dolby Digital is the most common means of encoding multi-channel audio.

– The logo representing Dolby Digital.

DTS – An abbreviation for Digital Theater Systems, a type of multi-channel surround sound format used on certain CDs and many DVDs.

– The logo representing DTS.

DVD – An abbreviation most commonly known to mean Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc. The audio/video/data storage system is based on 12-cm optical discs.

DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW – Abbreviations for Recordable (R) and ReWriteable (RW) Digital Video (or Versatile) Disc (DVD). Data can be added to a DVD-R or +R once only, and to a DVD-RW or +RW more than once.

DVD-ROM – The abbreviation for Read Only Memory (ROM) on a Digital Video (or Versatile) Disc (DVD), which allows no data to be added.

DVD video – A standard for storing and reproducing audio and video on DVD-ROM discs, based on MPEG video, Dolby Digital audio, and other proprietary data formats.

DVR – An abbreviation for Digital Video Recording, sometimes used interchangeably with

PVR, for Personal Video Recording.

HHDMI – An abbreviation for High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMITM is a de-facto standard interface that delivers clear, all-digital audio and video through a single cable.

S-video provides significantly higher resolution than composite video, but not as high as from component. This type of connection is compatible with many televisions and other video components, and requires use of an S-video cable.

TTeletext – An information retrieval service provided by television broadcast companies in Europe and some other countries, not including the U.S.

* See Remote Version in “Remote control options” on page 32.

Getting good remote control range and response

The cord that connects the power supply to the VS-2 and the VS-2 to the media center contains an antenna for your RF remote. For good range, it is VERY important that you extend this cord to its full length and keep it away from other system cables. Placing the power supply on the floor, well below the media center, puts the cord in a vertical orientation, which is optimum.

Note: When using a plasma screen TV, keeping the media center power supply as far from the TV as is practical improves remote range.

If your system does not respond when you press a button on the remote, it could be time to change the batteries. For information on the type of batteries to use and how to change them, refer to “Replacing the remote control batteries” on page 41.

In some buildings, there may be “dead spots” where remote control signals are not effective. If this happens, move the remote a foot or two and try again. If this does not help, move the media center a few feet to see if a new location provides better response.

If the batteries are not dead and your efforts to avoid dead spots are in vain, you may need an antenna extender. To contact Bose for more information, or to order the extender, refer to the contact list included with the system.

Media center

The disc tray and system controls are located under the front panel door of the media center. To the right of the system controls is the display window (Figure 1).

CAUTION: Pressing the Open/Close button on the media center is the best way to open and retract the disc tray. DO NOT press on the tray to make it retract or exert pressure on the front of the tray while it is moving. Doing so can cause the disc player to malfunction.

An IR (infrared) signal emitter, located under the disc tray, enables you to control other components using the LIFESTYLE® remote. Avoid blocking this emitter, so its signal will have a clear path to other components or reflective surfaces in the room.

CONTROLLING EXTERNAL SOURCES

Using your LIFESTYLE® remote with other components

You can control most brands of external components – such as TVs, cable/satellite boxes, and VCR/DVRs – using your LIFESTYLE® remote control. After you make the proper menu selections for each component you want to control, the LIFESTYLE® remote serves as a universal remote for most of your component operations.

Setting the remote to control each component

Your LIFESTYLE® system includes an IR (infrared) emitter that sends out signals from the front of the music center to each component that your LIFESTYLE® remote is set to control. This allows you to turn on those sources (which are in the room with the media center) and make basic selections from them.

It may take more than one try

Some manufacturers use a number of similar device codes. After selecting one code, your remote may turn your TV, cable or satellite box, or VCR on and off successfully. However, if you cannot change channels or initiate other features using the remote, you may want to continue testing device codes until you find one that provides greater control.

After trying a few codes, if your component still does not respond, reposition the component slightly.

Note: IR signals must reach each component for a reliable test of the IR code settings.

A good way to succeed is by using the supplied IR emitter cable, positioning it in front of each component as you use the LIFESTYLE® remote to turn it on and off. If you have not yet installed the emitter, see “Using the IR emitter” in your Installation Guide.

For TV control

Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE® System menu, refer to “Using System

Menus” on page 27.

Use the TV remote to turn on the TV. Be sure to select the TV video input that connects to the VS-2 video enhancer.

Then, using the LIFESTYLE® remote control:

1.Press TV to select the TV source.

2.Press System. The System menu will appear on the TV screen (Figure 5).

3.Move across the properties to Remote Control to preview these menu options.
