## History

In 2007 Bose announced the creation of a new system called the *Lifestyle V-Class* using the MC1 media center. Unlike its predecessors it comes *without* an internal CD/DVD player. When introduced there were two versions: the Lifestyle V30 and V20, and later V10 which released in October 2008. The main difference of the systems are the speakers that they come with. The V30 using the Jewel Cube speakers, the V20 using the Direct/Reflect speakers and the V10 using the Virtually Invisible cube speakers. Consumers may add any source component including HDMI-connected HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc players.

   The system features two HDMI 1.2a and four component, S-Video, and composite inputs; and one HDMI 1.2a, component, S-Video, and composite outputs. They are capable of up-converting video from any of the four connected S-Video, composite, and component-video sources to HDMI, and can upscale those sources to 1080p resolution.

They come with five fiber optic and RCA audio inputs with two digital coax audio inputs, one being assignable. V-Class systems also have an AM/FM tuner, an RF universal remote, an external display, AdaptIQ, and Bose Link.

### BoseLink

*Main article: BoseLink*

Starting with Series II DVD systems, Bose included a new standard for expansion called *BoseLink*, which allows the system to expand to 14 additional listening areas and can connect to any other BoseLink device. There is also a wireless expansion option. Listeners use a radio frequency remote to communicate back to the main system, thus allowing it to control the volume and to select the audio source for that room.

### AdaptIQ

*Main article: AdaptIQ*

The key feature of the system is the ADAPTiQ audio calibration system, which allows for the system to adapt to the owner's personal living room environment. The system plays tones through each speaker and listens with a microphone headset worn by the user, and based on what it "hears", the media center will calibrate and equalize each speaker to compensate for any acoustic abnormalities in the room. In this manner, any *Lifestyle* system will sound the same in any living room as the professional demonstration.
