Introduction 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 Developer of a perceptual coding system for audio.
Dolby Digital a type of multi-channel surround sound format used on discs. the logo representing Dolby Digital. DTS a type of multi-channel surround sound format used on discs.
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. 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 developed both the American Black & White and Color television systems. PAL An acronym for Phase Alternate Line. A television format used extensively in Western Europe.

If your TV does not have audio output jacks
If your TV does not have audio output jacks, you will need to feed audio to the 321 home entertainment system through a secondary source, such as a VCR. To do this, you will need one additional video cable, which can be purchased at your local electronics store. 1. Connect one end of the supplied stereo cable to the AUX Audio IN jacks on the rear panel of the media center (Figure 13). Insert the white RCA plug into the AUX white L jack. Insert the red RCA plug into the AUX red R jack. 2. Connect the other end of the stereo cable to the AUDIO OUT jacks on your VCR. Insert the white RCA plug into the white AUDIO OUT L jack. Insert the red RCA plug into the red AUDIO OUT R jack. 3. Insert one end of the supplied video cable (yellow) into the VIDEO OUT jack on the back of your VCR. Insert the other end of the supplied video cable into the Video IN C (composite) jack on the back of the media center. 4. Insert one end of the second video cable (yellow) into the Video OUT C (composite) jack on the back of the media center. Insert the other end of the second video cable into one of the video input jacks on your TV. Figure 13

VCR considerations
Some combination TV/VCR units may not work with 321 Series II home entertainment systems. Please refer to your TV/VCR owners 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 43) so your 321 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. Figure 14
TV (S-video)-to-media center connections

IMPORTANT

If you use S-video to connect your TV to the media center, you must also use S-video to connect all other devices (such as a cable box and VCR) to the media center.
S-video cable TV connector panel
Making component video connections (highest quality video)
Note: Component video connections are required in order to use the progressive scan feature of your 321 system. Your TV must also support this feature. To turn on the progressive scan feature, see Video options on page 47. For the highest quality video from DVDs, you may want to use a component video connection between the media center and the TV. To do so, your TV must provide component video jacks (typically labelled Y, Pb, and Pr). Refer to your TV owners guide for more information. To make component video connections you will need three video grade cables that are long enough to reach from the rear of the media center to your TV (Figure 15). If the cables are not supplied with your TV, you can purchase them separately. 1. On the media center rear panel, plug one video cable into the Component Y, Pb, and Pr video output jacks (Figure 15). 2. Plug the other end of each video cable into the corresponding (color or letter code) component video jack on the back of your TV. Figure 15

IMPORTANT FOR COMPONENT VIDEO USERS Input signals received by the C (Composite) or S-Video IN jacks are not passed through to the Component video OUT jacks. If you connect an external video device to the C or S-Video IN jack, you must also connect the C or S-Video OUT jack on the media center to the respective video input jack on your TV. To view the external video input on your TV, you will need to select the TV video input used for that device. To view the onscreen menus of the 321 system, you will need to switch back to the TVs component video input. Note: For more information, or to purchase the video cables, contact your local electronics store or authorized Bose dealer.

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PERFORMANCE Changing system features
If your system operates as you want it to, you may not need any changes. Some kinds of setup, however, require a change for optimal performance. In most cases, you make a System change just once. The features that you can change include: Audio Video Media Center DVD Lock Using the DVD Lock feature is described in Playing a video disc or CD on page 40. For details on the other options available, refer to the tables on the pages that follow.
To get to the System menu
The System menu appears on your TV screen only. 1. Turn on your 321 system. 2. Turn on your TV and select the TV Video Input that you use to watch a DVD. 3. Press the System button on your 321 remote. The System menu appears on your TV screen. 4. To get into the menu, move right and select an icon (like Media Center, shown on page 48) for one of the system features. The list of options appears on the menu screen. Note: Entering the System menu pauses a DVD or CD.

Video options

These options affect the way the picture looks on your TV. Option
Widescreen TV Note: If your TV is connected using an HDMI cable, you may not see a choice of settings. DVD Image Modified (Original)

Yes (16:9) (No 4:3)

Yes tells the system that widescreen (16:9) is the TV format. No tells the system that 4:3 is the TV format. For a TV connected using a Composite, S-Video, or Component cable, selecting No also makes available the DVD Image option (below). Note: If you are not sure what type of cable is used to connect your TV, check the Video Connector indicator, which is explained on page 51. For a TV connected using an HDMI cable: Modified allows the Bose system to automatically provide the resolution that is preferred for your TV (usually 720 or 1080), so the image fills the screen. You can change this video resolution in the Settings menu. Original tells the Bose system to keep the image in the original DVD format (in 480 or 576 resolution), regardless of how it fills the screen. No change can be made to this video resolution in the Settings menu. (Some TVs determine automatically how to fill the screen, overriding any choice.) For a TV connected using non-HDMI cable: Modified allows the Bose system to adjust the images on some widescreen DVDs to fill a 4:3 TV screen. This is done by removing the black bars on top and bottom and by cropping the sides of the image. (Many DVD images, even widescreen, will still appear with black bars on top and bottom.) Original tells the Bose system to keep the image in the original format of the DVD. A widescreen DVD image will have black bars on top and bottom.
Note: This option is NOT available UNLESS you have selected No in the Widescreen TV option (above) for your TV connected using a Composite, S-Video, or Component cable (not HDMI).

Increase the volume. Check to see if MUTE is lit on the display. If it is, press the Mute button on the remote control to unmute the sound. Be sure that you have pressed the correct source button (CDDVD, CBLSAT, etc.) on the 321 remote. Check the audio connections for the component you want to play. Connect the FM and AM antennas. Make sure that the cable between the Acoustimass module and the media center is connected securely. Check connections between the speakers and the Acoustimass module. Turn off the media center for 60 seconds, then on again, to restore communication between the media center and the speakers. Make sure speaker cables are not damaged and the connections are secure. Reduce the volume level on the external device playing through the 321 system speakers. Try plugging your system into a different AC outlet. Check to see if your media center and its audio input cable are within 3 ft (1 m) of any other electronic or electrical device. Some examples are a TV, cable box, VCR, wireless internet router, dimmer switches, blinking lights, or microwaves. Move the media center farther away and notice if the humming still occurs.
Sound is distorted Sound is marred by a loud hum or buzz
No sound from TV only Speech and lip movement on screen are not in sync Radio does not work or has poor reception
If your TV has Variable instead of Fixed audio output, you need to turn off the TV speakers internally. Refer to your TV owners guide and follow the instructions provided there. Adjust the Audio Delay using the Settings menu on screen. For details, refer to Choosing new settings on page 53. Make sure the antennas are connected and positioned as shown in Installing the FM and AM radio antennas on page 25. Adjust the FM antenna position to reduce interference. Move antennas farther from the media center, TV, or other electronic equipment. Select another station. You may be in an area of weak signal coverage for some stations. Change the Audio Level for the source input so its volume matches the volume of the radio and DVD in the Bose system. Refer to Audio options on page 49.
Volume level changes when another sound source is selected

Remote issues

321 remote does not control your TV, CBLSAT, or AUX component
Make sure that the remote is set to control the component. Refer to Setting the remote for your TV on page 31. Make sure that the front of the component is not obstructed. Reset the remote using a different device code for the component you want to control. Refer to Device codes located at the back of the book. There may be several codes that can turn the component on and off, but only one that provides further control (channel changing, for example). Aim the remote at the front of the media center. Make sure the battery polarity (+ and ) matches the polarity marked in the battery compartment. Install new batteries. Refer to Replacing remote batteries on page 59.
