BOSE Lifestyle 8 Series II 

Dolby Digiytal 5.1 Surround Sound System

I purchased this system in 2001 from Denman Audio in St Kilda , and as the photos will show, it has been extremely well cared for.  It is specifically designed for those who want great quality audio in a compact and stylish package. It has a built in CD player, AM/FM tuner and AUX inputs so as you can connect you DVD player, game consoles or other audio sources.  It supports Dolby Digital 5.1 but also uses BOSE Videostage technology to mimic surround decoding to send normal stereo signals to all five speakers. This is great for watching sports or concerts (media not recorded in surround sound).  The remote is an RF radio remote, meaning you can control the unit without needing line of sight (control from other rooms).

The system is prepared for shipping (buyer to organise/or local pickup) in the original BOSE shipping carton and the sytem is inclusive of the following:

• Acoustimass Module (Sub and amplifier)

• Stereo program material from TV, FM, CD, and cassette. Videostage decoding delivers five channels, even when the original source contained only one or two.

• Monoaural program material. Videostage decoding can process a one-channel program into five-channel sound and direct the result to five independent speakers.

Your enjoyment of movies at home is enhanced by Digital Dynamic Range® compression. This technology automatically monitors and adjusts the volume to allow you to hear soft sounds,

particularly dialogue, and to prevent you from being overwhelmed by a loud special effect (e.g., a crash or explosion). This feature is especially useful for late night movie viewing – it
