CD-based 2.1 Systems
CD-based systems (using the CD5, CD10, CD20 and C1 amplifier) were produced from 1990-2003. The Lifestyle 10 was the first system released, and used a single-disk CD player, AM/FM radio and can output different sources to 2 rooms (termed "Zone 2 technology" by Bose). In 1992, systems based on the CD10 were released.
Models based on the CD20 amplifier, which included a 6 CD changer (using a magazine, so playback needs to be stopped when changing any CD), were released in 1996. In 1999, the C1-based models were released, which included a touchscreen remote. The Lifestyle 40 model could output different sources to 4 rooms (termed "Zone 4 technology" by Bose).
The speakers used over the course of the years included "directional" speakers, "direct/reflect" speakers, and "Jewel Cubes". A Lifestyle 901 system was released, using the 901 speakers. All systems include an active subwoofer.

Famous quotes containing the word systems:
“Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of thee,
And thou, O Lord, art more than they.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
