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.
Note: The VideoWave II System does not contain a
built-in TV tuner; it will require an out outboard TV tuner, Cable box, or
Satellite receiver.
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.
Bose Link: The VideoWave II System supports Bose Link
technology. Bose Link whole-home audio technology lets you connect compatible
Bose products to the VideoWave II System for listening to different analog audio
sources in as many as 14 additional rooms.
USB/iPod Functions
USB Port: The Control Console features a front-panel USB
type-A port for viewing JPEG still-image files from a USB device, including a
digital camera. There is also a rear-panel USB (type) port used for updating the system's
software & firmware. A USB thumb-drive is provided for system updates.

Note:
- *The iPod nano (7th gen), iPod touch (5th gen), and iPhone 5 will
require the Apple Lightning to 30-pin adapter or cable (both, sold
separately) in order to dock with this system.
- Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change
functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may
need to reset the device and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If
this doesn't work, you may need to wait until an newer software update is
available.
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..
Note: If using the monitor on the stand, do not place the Control
Console between the legs of the stand or anywhere directly under the bottom
edge of the monitor. This will avoid blocking ventilation and audio system
openings in the product enclosure.
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.
Note: The included proprietary system cable is not rated for
in-wall use. An in-wall version of this cable (sold separately) is available
from Bose.
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.
