Video Features

LED Edge-Lit Display: The Bose VideoWave II System utilizes LED edge backlighting for a vivid picture with sharpened detail and dynamic contrast.

120Hz Refresh Rate: The Bose VideoWave II System features a 120Hz refresh rate, so action sequences are displayed in smooth fashion. 120 Hz anti-blur technology doubles the frame rate from 60 frames-per-second to 120 frames-per-second, virtually eliminating motion blur that could be caused by fast action video.

1080p Resolution: The VideoWave II System has a display resolution of 1920 x 1080. All video inputs are displayed at 1080p.

Video Inputs: The VideoWave II System provides high definition HDMI & component video inputs, as well as standard definition  composite video inputs. All video connections are found on the VideoWave II System's Control Console. There is a proprietary system cable that runs from the Control Console to the display monitor.

• HDMI (v.1.3): The system features four HDMI inputs (3 rear/1 front). The HDMI inputs will accept 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i video signals. 
• Component: The two rear-panel component video inputs will accept1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals.
• Composite: There are three composite video inputs (2 rear/1 front) capable of 480i signals only. The two rear-panel composite inputs share the same A/V inputs as the two rear-panel component video inputs. The front-panel composite video input is an independent A/V input.

Image View Format: The Bose VideoWave II System features various image view formats to match the display monitor and your connected sources. You can select from the following.

• Normal: Leaves original video image unchanged.
• Auto-Wide: Fills width of the screen without cropping any content.
• Stretch 1: Stretches video image evenly from the center.
• Stretch 2: Stretches the edges of the video image much more than the center portion of the image.
• Zoom: Enlarges the video image.
• Gray Bars: Places vertical gray bars on the left and right of a standard definition video image.

Video Presets: The Bose VideoWave II System provides video presets for Dark, Normal, and Bright ambient light conditions.

Video Adjustments: If you are unsatisfied with the Video Presets, you can manually adjust the system's Brightness, Contrast, Color, Tint, Sharpness, Backlight, and Color Temp.

Gamma & Color Settings: You can further customize the system's Gamma, Red, Green, and Blue color settings (we recommend that these adjustments be made by a qualified technician).

Motion Smoothing: Motion Smoothing provides an adjustable control (Low/Normal/High/None) to insure a smooth and clear picture for sports and fast-moving action scenes. Movies will appear to be more natural and lifelike when Motion Smoothing is ON. However, you can set motion smoothing to None, if you prefer to view films the way the director intended them to appear.

Audio Features

Built-in Bose Sound: The Bose VideoWave II System employs exclusive PhaseGuide technology combined with a unique seven-element speaker array and advanced digital signal processing for convincing cinematic effects. Six high-performance woofers and a proprietary acoustic waveguide reproduce resounding bass for even more realism.

Bose ADAPTiQ Audio Calibration System: The VideoWave II System's performance is customized to the acoustics of your room with the Bose ADAPTiQ audio calibration system. Your room is unique, with size, shape, textures and other elements that can affect the sound you hear. The ADAPTiQ audio calibration system overcomes these acoustic challenges so you don't have to change a thing. This proprietary technology first analyzes your room, then adjusts the VideoWave II system for a consistent, high-quality performance. ADAPTiQ audio calibration system analyzes the way your room's dimensions & other variables affect sound, then automatically adjusts the sound of your speaker system to the acoustics of your room. To perform a calibration you need about 10 minutes when the room is quiet. While wearing the special headset, the system will ask you to place yourself in five different locations (sitting or standing) in your listening area as the system takes measurements in each. Audio prompts from the system will guide you through the process.

ADAPTiQ Headset: The special headset supplied with the ADAPTiQ system has no speakers, but special microphones designed to be worn above the ears. It enables you to take acoustic measurements in your room during the custom equalization process. The headset has an adjustable headband and a 28' cord terminating in a pair of stereo male RCA plugs. These plug into the system's front-panel left and right RCA inputs.

Audio Inputs: The Bose VideoWave II System is fitted with both analog and digital inputs. All audio connections are found on the VideoWave II System's Control Console. There is a proprietary system cable that runs from the Control Console to the display monitor.

• Analog Inputs: The system's Control Console is equipped with three sets of RCA stereo analog inputs (2 rear/1 front).
• Digital Inputs: The Control Console is also equipped with two optical (toslink) and two coax (RCA) digital audio inputs.

Headphone Jack: The Control Console features a front-panel 3.5mm headphone output for connecting a set of headphones. The system's speakers will be muted while your headphones are plugged in.

Video Muting: When you want to enjoy listening to music without being distracted by video, or if you just want to conserve energy, you can turn off the video screen. When listening to audio sources like iPod/iPhone, the system will automatically enter screen-saver mode; press any button on the click pad remote to restore the picture.

Convenience Features

Unify Intelligent Integration System: The Unify Intelligent Integration System guides you through the initial process of setting up and configuring your system. The Unify Intelligent Integration System uses on-screen navigation to simplify system setup & everyday use. This proprietary technology walks you through step-by-step, and even verifies you've done it correctly. It helps you choose the right cables and inputs, and programs the click pad remote to operate your connected devices. Clear, on-screen menus provide all the information you need for your connected sources.  After completing the initial setup, you can use the Unify system at any time to change your system setup and configuration.

Automatic Off: The system will automatically turns off after 4 hours of no user interaction (no remote control button presses). The system will also automatically turn off 15 minutes after you no longer see video from an audio/video source or no longer hear audio from and audio source.

Remote Control

Innovative Click Pad Remote: The innovative click pad remote has only the buttons necessary for basic control of the system (power, volume, & source/channel switching). Controls that are unique to your connected devices appear on the monitor screen and are accessed by using the click pad located on the remote control (once programmed/learned). To select these additional controls, you touch the click pad, glide your thumb to the function (or control) you want, and press down on the click pad itself.

IR Emitter Cable: The remote control also offers IR commands using the included IR emitter cable to control connected IR devices.

Mounting Options

Tabletop Stand: The Bose VideoWave II System comes supplied with a tabletop pedestal stand, which must be attached using the supplied hardware. The monitor weighs 137 lbs with the stand attached. Two Anti-tip straps are included to help prevent the monitor from tipping over when placed on stand, shelf, table, desk, etc..

Optional Wall Mounts: The VideoWave II System is compatible with many VESA certified brackets that use a 400 mm x 400 mm screw pattern with 6mm screws. The panel itself without the stand weighs 106 lbs., so the mount must be able to support that weight. Articulating wall mounts are not optimal because of the effect that changes in position might have on the acoustics and are therefore not recommended.

Placement: The back of the monitor should be approximately 1-4" from a wall. You should try to allow 3-10' between the monitor and the side walls of the room. Allow at least 8" of clearance from the top of the monitor to any surface above (such as a shelf) to allow for proper ventilation and acoustic performance. The area between the side walls and the monitor should be free of as many objects as possible that would block the sound, such as tall bookcases and storage cabinets. To enjoy the best audio and video performance, try to have the vertical center of the screen at eye level when seated.

Professional Installation: As a VideoWave II System owner, you'll receive the highest level of Bose customer care. Within one business day of your purchase, a Bose specialist will call to provide information on delivery and setup and answer any questions you may have. When your VideoWave II system is delivered, the Bose installer will set it up, connect all existing sources, program the click pad remote and provide a complete system demonstration.
