Bose released the Lifestyle 235 on September 28, 2010. This system includes an AV receiver, iPod dock, subwoofer and satellite speakers. The "Gemstone ES" satellite speakers have three drivers each, two pointing forward and one pointing to the side, which are claimed to widen the soundstage and make it more "enveloping" .

The system has four HDMI 1.4a, two component and three composite inputs. There is one HDMI 1.4a video output that scales input video up to 1080p output resolution. There are 3 other audio inputs: optical, coax and RCA. The AV35 receiver decodes DTS, Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-MA (core) and uncompressed multi-channel PCM (aka LPCM). The receiver has two USB jacks for firmware updates and to view pictures & RCA connectors for "BoseLink In" and "BoseLink Out" connection to other Bose devices.

An on-screen setup wizard is included (termed "Unify" by Bose) and it can detect 3rd party remote controls to assist in programming Bose's universal remote. Surround sound emulation was included (termed "VideoStage 5" by Bose) to attempt to provide surround effects to mono and stereo sources. A microphone is included to help tune the system for the room acoustics (termed "AdaptiQ" by Bose), much like many other home theatre receivers.

Famous quotes containing the word lifestyle:

    The hippie is the scion of surplus value. The dropout can only claim sanctity in a society which offers something to be dropped out of—career, ambition, conspicuous consumption. The effects of hippie sanctimony can only be felt in the context of others who plunder his lifestyle for what they find good or profitable, a process known as rip-off by the hippie, who will not see how savagely he has pillaged intricate and demanding civilizations for his own parodic lifestyle.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
