Welcome Thank you for purchasing a LIFESTYLE * _ DVD - based home entertainment system . Through proprietary Bose technologies and innovative LIFESTYLE " systems design , it delivers supe - rior performance for both music and video programming from an elegant and easy - to - use system . , _ Note : Because DVD is a relatively new technology , please take the time to read through this manual and familiarize yourself with the features of your new system . Types of discs you can play The DVD player in your system can play the following types of discs having the corresponding Iogos : • Video DVDs • Video CDs ( VCDs ) • Audio CDs 1011D ° _ mBn'AL NJmD • CD - Rs or CD - R / Ws • MP3 CDs Check for region number compatibility For any 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 : 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 ( read 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 ) . Component video - A video system containing three separate color component signals , either red / green / blue ( RGB ) or chroma / color difference ( YPbPr ) , in analog or digital form .
