INTRODUCTION Checking for region code compatibility For a DVD player and DVD disc to be compatible , their region code numbers must match . These numbers are allocated according to where the player and disc are sold . The 3e2,1 Series II DVD home entertainment systems have a region code which must also match the DVD discs . Check the region code number on the carton of the 3.2.1 Series II DVD home entertainment system or on the bottom of the media center that comes in the carton . Then be sure to choose only DVD discs that show the same region number on the disc label or front cover . For example , a Region 1 DVD disc should display the following mark : Glossary of terms Aspect Ratio - The shape of the rectangular picture in a TV set . It is the width of the picture relative to the height . Our standard TV picture , in terminology used by that industry , is 4 units wide by 3 units high , or 4 : 3 ( read as 4 by 3 ) in aspect ratio . There are currently two standard TV aspect ratios , 4 : 3 and 16 : 9 . Chapter - In DVD - Video , a division of a title . Technically called a part of title ( PTT ) . Component Video - A video signal split into three parts : luminance and two color signals ( marked as YPbPr ) . It provides the highest resolution video , but cannot be processed by all television sets . Composite Video - A single video signal that contains luminance , color , and synchronization information . NTSC and PAL are examples of composite video systems . Dolby Laboratories [ _ l - Developer of a perceptual coding system for audio . Dolby Digital - a type of multi - channel surround sound format used on discs . _ I : ] G _ - the logo representing Dolby ® Digital . DTS - a type of multi - channel surround sound format used on discs . _ * * o _ , _ - the logo representing DTS . DVD - An acronym that is most commonly known to mean Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc . The audio / video / data storage system based on 12 - and 8 - 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 . IR - An acronym for infrared . Pertains to the type of remote that sends / receives commands on an infrared light beam . Letterbox - The projected aspect ratio of feature films is often 16 : 9 rather than the 4 : 3 aspect ratio of most TVs . Therefore , it is becoming common practice to transfer films to video with black borders at the top and bottom of the picture . The film picture becomes a " letterbox " within the video . 6

INTRODUCTION MPEG - a type of data compression used for audio or video storage on disc . 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 organization that devel - oped both the American Black & White and Color television systems . PAL - An acronym for Phase Alternate Line . A television format used extensively in Western Europe . S - video - A video interface standard that carries separate luminance and chrominance signals , 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 . Title - numbered elements of the DVD contents , which may include more than the movie alone . Track - Individual selections recorded on an audio tape or disc .

SYSTEM SETUP Placing the speakers Choosing a good location for the speakers will allow you to experience the audio surround effects that your 3.2.1 home entertainment system is designed to deliver . • Place the two speakers either on top of the TV or at equal distance from the left and right of the TV screen ( Figure 2 ) . Keep both speakers at approximately the same height . • Place each speaker within 3 feet ( 1 meter ) of the edge of the " FVscreen . Placing the speakers more than 3 feet away from the TV can cause the sound to become separated from the picture . • If you are using a bookshelf or a home entertainment unit , place each speaker at the front edge of its shelf . Positioning the speakers too far back in an enclosed space can change the overall quality of sound and alter the movie sound effects . • Place the speakers at least 3 feet ( 1 meter ) apart from each other to optimize the surround sound experience . A CAUTION : Choose a stable and level surface for both speakers . Vibration can cause the speak - ers to move , particularly on smooth surfaces like marble , glass , or highly polished wood . If you are placing the speakers on a flat surface , be sure to attach the smaller of the two sets of sup - plied rubber feet to the bottom surface . You may obtain additional rubber feet ( part number 178321 ) from Bose ® Customer Service . To contact Bose , refer to the list of offices included in the product carton . Note : The speakers can be mounted on Bose brackets , table stands , or floor stands . For order - ing information , refer to " Accessories " on page 54 . Additional or longer cables may also be ordered . Figure 3 Place the speakers only on their bottom surfaces , with the Bose logo right - side up . Recommended speaker placement Aim the speakers straight ahead toward the listening area . Do not place the speakers at an angle . Angling one or both speakers into or away from the listening area signifi - cantly alters system performance . 10

SYSTEM SETUP VCR considerations • Some combination TV / VCR units may not work with 3.2,1 Series II home entertainment systems . Please refer to your TV / VCR owner's manual for information . A stereo VCR is required for optimal sound performance . If your VCR has only one audio output and is not labeled Stereo or Hi - fi , you have a mono VCR . You will need a Y - adapter cable ( available at electronics stores ) to connect audio to the media center . For this setup , you will need to select " Mono decoding " ( see " TV , CBL * SAT , and AUX settings menu " on page 44 ) so your 3o2ol system will simulate surround sound effects from a mono source . Otherwise , you will hear mono sound from both speakers . Advanced setup options Making S - video connections ( higher quality video ) An S - video input jack , provided on many TVs , delivers a higher quality TV picture than the composite video output connection shown in Figure 11 . For this connection you will need an S - video cable which can be purchased from your Bose dealer or a local electronics retailer . * Insert one end of the S - video cable into the S - Video OUT jack on the media center ( Figure 14 ) . * Insert the other end of the S - video cable into the S - VIDEO IN jack on your TV .
