*Main article: AV20 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.

*BoseLink in* allows other BoseLink out systems to send music to this system.

### Unify

*Main article: Unify*

*This system guides users through installation of any products connect to the system through an on-screen wizard. It uses a reverse lookup to recognize the remote of 3rd party products to program its own universal remote.*

### 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.
