Check for region number compatibility

For a DVD player and DVD disc to be compatible, their region numbers must match. These numbers are allocated according to where the player and disc are sold.

Check the region number on the bottom of the media center included with your system. Then be sure to choose only DVD discs that show the same region number on the disc label or packaging.

For example, a Region 1 DVD player should display the following mark:

Conventions used in this guide

Operating instructions include names of buttons on the remote control and on the media center front panel, and menu items appearing on your TV screen and on the media center display.

• Button names appear in boldface type. For example, “Press the CD/DVD button”. If a button has only a symbol, that will be used.

• On-screen display messages appearing on your TV screen will be in boldface type with a line above and below. For example, “Use the Audio Setup menu to adjust the sound”.

• Messages appearing on the media center display are represented by a narrow boldface uppercase type. For example, “ REPEAT: TRACK appears when the repeat disc track mode is selected”.

Glossary

Aspect ratio – The shape of the rectangular picture in a TV set expressed as the width of the

picture relative to the height. For example, if a TV picture has an aspect ratio of 4:3 (r ead as 4 by 3), the shape of that picture is 4 units wide by 3 units high. The two standard TV aspect ratios are 4:3 and 16:9.

Chapter – In DVD-Video, a division of a title. Technically called a part of title (PTT).

Introduction

Component video – A video system containing three separate color component signals,

either red/green/blue (RGB) or chroma/color dif ference (YPbPr), in analog or digital form. The MPEG-2 encoding system used by DVD is based on color-difference component digital video.

Composite video – A single video signal that contains luminance, color, and synchronization

information. NTSC and PAL are examples of composite video systems.

Dolby 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.

DTS – A type of multi-channel surround sound format used on discs. DVD – An acronym that is most commonly known to mean Digital Video Disc or Digital Versa-

tile Disc. The audio/video/data storage system is based on 12-cm optical discs.

DVD video – A standard for storing and reproducing audio and video on DVD-ROM discs,

based on MPEG video, Dolby Digital and MPEG audio, and other proprietary data formats.

– An acronym for infrared. Pertains to the type of remote that sends/receives commands

on an infrared light beam.

Letterbox – A video format which has black borders at the top and bottom of the picture. MP3 – MPEG-1 Layer III audio. This is a compressed audio format that allows you to record

many hours of music on a single CD.

NTSC – An acronym for National Television System Committee. The U.S. organization that

developed both the American Black & White and Color television systems.

PAL – An acronym for Phase Alternate Line. This is one of several composite video systems.

The PAL format is used extensively in Western Europe.

PCM – The form of the digital audio signal used for both CD and laserdisc. It is a serial data

stream that is coded for transmission or recording.

S-video – A video interface standard that carries separate luminance and chrominance sig-

nals, usually on a four-pin mini-DIN connector. Also called Y/C. The quality of S-video is signiﬁcantly better than composite video since it does not require a comb ﬁlter to separate the signals. Most high-end televisions have S-video inputs.

Videostage

nel surround sound experience from everything you listen to – VHS tapes, stereo CDs, even mono TV programs.

YPbPr – A component analog video signal containing one luminance and two chrominance

components. Often referred to loosely as YUV or Y, B-Y, R-Y.

General System Operation

Turning your system on and off

You can turn your system on and off using the On/Off button on the remote control or the media center button panel. When you turn it on with either On/Off button, the source that was played last is automatically selected. You can also press any source button on the remote to turn the system on and select the source at the same time.

Making sound adjustments

Volume

System volume can be raised or lowered using the Volume ▲ ▼ buttons on the remote or the media center button panel.

Changing the number of speakers playing

When you turn on a source, the number of speakers used for that source is automatically determined. For example, when you select FM, the front right and left speakers are used. When you play a DVD video, all ﬁve speakers are turned on. You can change the number of speakers used for any source by pressing the Speakers 2-3-5 button on the remote control.

Adjusting surround sound

The sound level of the surround (rear) speakers in your system can be adjusted in small steps using the Surround + / – buttons on your remote. In surround (5-speaker) mode, Surround+ raises the volume; Surround– lowers it.

Using the headphones jack

For private listening, you can connect a headset to the headset jack located on the right side of the media center. When a headset is connected, all ZONE 1 speakers are muted.

System settings

When necessary , the system settings can be changed using the system settings menus. See “Changing System Settings” on page 22.

Using the sleep timer

Your system includes a sleep timer, which can be set to turn your system off automatically after 10 to 90 minutes of listening to any source. This timer can be accessed through the settings menu. See “Using the settings menus” on page 22.

Changing the video output for component video connections

If your TV or video monitor is capable of component video input signals, and you have connected your TV to your system using the component video adapter (included), you must change the video output setting in the settings menu to “YPbPr”. This will enable the media center to send the correct video signals to your TV.

To change the video output setting, see “Using the settings menus” on page 22, and “Changing the system setup” on page 32.

Playing a Video DVD

Before you play your ﬁrst DVD

This section tells you how to use the DVD player in your system to play video DVDs. Before you play your ﬁrst DVD, make note of the following:

• Make sure that you are familiar with the functions of the remote control buttons (see “The remote control” on page 7). Although some remote contr ol buttons look the same as those found on a VCR or CD player remote, their functions are different.

• In order for some system features to work, the DVDs that you play must be encoded with the information for that feature. For example, in order to display subtitles while watching a movie, the disc must contain subtitle information.

• Both the DVD player in your system and the discs you play are coded by region. In order for a disc to play, these region codes must match. Check the label on the media center or on the shipping carton for your player’s region code.

Loading and playing a DVD

1. Turn your television on.

2. Press to select the DVD player. If the system is off, this will also turn it on.

Mono Decoding: On

Automatically engages Bose® Videostage® 5 mono decoding circuitry when a Dolby Digital bitstream indicates that it contains a mono program. This feature can process a one-channel program into ﬁve-speaker sound, directing the signals so that dialogue remains locked on-screen, while music and ambient effects ﬁll the room. You experience a surround sensation, providing extra enjoyment when you watch older (that is, pre-stereo) movies. This feature can be used for mono TV shows and movies when you select TV, VCR, AUX, or TAPE.

sound can be useful. Conversely, rooms with a lot of sound-absorbing

furnishings, such as upholstered furniture, wall-to-wall carpet, or heavy

drapes, can sound “dull” and may beneﬁt by increasing the treble sound.

Different source materials, such as DVDs, CDs or radio stations, may also

vary in the amount of treble they have.

You can decrease the treble sound by lowering this setting to a negative

value from –1 to –14. T o increase the treble, raise this setting to a positive
