Video CDs DVD-R, DVD+R

Check 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 321 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 321 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:

MP3 compatibility

To be compatible with the 321 Series II or 321 GS Series II home entertainment systems, MP3s must meet the following criteria: All tracks must be burned in a single closed session The disc format must be ISO9660 Each file must have a.mp3 extension and have no other periods in the filename
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.

Introduction

PCM An uncompressed, digitally coded representation of an analog signal. This is 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. PCM is also used for many other types of serial data communications. 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.

Note: An outdoor antenna may be used in place of the supplied indoor antennas. To add an outdoor antenna, consult a qualified installer. Follow all safety instructions supplied with the antenna.

AM loop antenna

FM antenna Plug the FM antenna into the FM jack on the media center rear panel. Spread out the antenna arms and move them around to establish optimum FM reception. Extend the antenna as far from the media center and other equipment as possible. AM antenna Plug the AM loop antenna into the AM jack on the media center rear panel. Place the antenna loop at least 20 inches (50 centimeters) away from the media center and at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) away from the Acoustimass module. Experiment with positioning the loop for optimum AM reception. Follow the instructions enclosed with the AM loop antenna to stand it on the supplied base, or mount it to a wall.
Connecting cable FM radio
Some cable TV providers make FM radio signals available through the cable service to your home. This connection is made to the external FM jack on the back panel of the media center. To connect to this service, contact your cable TV provider for assistance. Note: Make sure that the cable radio installation includes a TV/FM splitter so that only the FM radio band, not the cable TV band, is received by the media center. If necessary, contact your cable company.

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
TV (component video)-tomedia center connections Media center rear panel Color-coded component video jacks (Y, Pb, and Pr)
TV connector panel Component video cable
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.
Connecting digital audio devices
Some audio devices may feature a digital audio output for optimum sound performance. Use an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable, as appropriate, to connect this output to the digital input on the media center. You can purchase the required cables at a local electronics store. On the media center rear panel, an optical digital cable connects to the OPTICAL jack. A coaxial cable connects to the audio input jacks labeled D. Note: The digital audio inputs of the 321 system are not able to decode a DTS bitstream from an external audio device. Only a DTS bitstream from the internal DVD player can be decoded. Note: Before you can benefit from the optical connection, you will need to assign the optical connector to the audio source in the system settings menu. See Media center options on page 48.
