The Bose® 3·2·1 GSX DVD home entertainment system is a complete—and easy—way to enjoy music and movies with less equipment. Two Gemstone speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass module thrill you with theater-like sound approaching that of traditional five-speaker systems. But here's the difference: There are no wires running to the back of your room. And you can cut back on CD clutter by digitally storing up to 200 hours of your favorite music in the versatile media center. An easy-to-use universal remote control provides one-touch access to your stored music and manages most entertainment devices attached to your system.

Home theater systems made simple

The thrill of a home theater experience. The simplicity of less equipment. This union of ideals is realized with the 3·2·1 GSX DVD system. Two compact Gemstone speaker arrays flank your television, but produce realistic effects you might expect from rear speakers. A hideaway Acoustimass module delivers emphatic low notes, while keeping a low profile in a corner, or even out of sight.

It all works in concert with proprietary TrueSpace® digital processing circuitry to produce pure Bose sound that convincingly sweeps across your room. But with no rear or center speakers, and no wiring to the back of your room.

Music made easy with a versatile home entertainment system

If you like less equipment and less clutter, you’ll love our approach to your treasured, but unwieldy, CD collection. The 3·2·1 GSX system digitally stores and organizes up to 200 hours of music. The uMusic® intelligent playback system actually listens to your musical choices and learns your preferences, then makes selections based on what you like. No more searching for CDs or deciding which tracks to listen to. Whatever your mood, the uMusic system delivers just the songs you want to hear.

An elegant home for your media

The premium media center plays today's most popular audio and video content, along with your digitally stored CDs. It includes a progressive scan DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner and inputs for three additional sources. And its signature design serves as a nice complement to most plasma/LCD televisions.

The 3·2·1 GSX system will also liven up classic movies and TV programs recorded before surround sound. The key is proprietary Videostage® 5 decoding circuitry, which transforms oldies into real goodies with vibrant, room-filling sound.

Features

uMusic® intelligent playback system

This proprietary system digitally stores thousands of songs in the media center, freeing you from managing a cumbersome CD collection. The uMusic® system actually listens to your music and learns your preferences to select tracks based on what you like. No menus, no playlists, no computer.

Media center with progressive scan DVD player and AM/FM tuner

A sleek, redesigned media center houses a progressive scan DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner and inputs for three additional sources. Enjoy home theater sound from your movies, music and TV without a stack of components.

Digital 5.1 decoding

Improved realism from 5.1-encoded DVDs, DBS or HDTV.

Proprietary Videostage® 5 decoding circuitry

Proprietary Bose® technology allows you to hear home theater sound from practically everything you play, even older TV programs and videotapes that weren’t recorded in surround sound.

Gemstone® speaker array design

The two speaker arrays, combined with our TrueSpace® digital processing circuitry, deliver the depth and performance of home theater sound. They are also 50% smaller than the original 3·2·1 system speakers and blend into your décor.

Neodymium iron boron magnet

Provides a powerful magnetic field to produce sound from a tiny transducer and offers a high level of performance from a remarkably small speaker.

TrueSpace® digital processing circuitry

Bose technology that delivers a spacious, multi-channel sound experience with strong center imaging from just two visible speakers and a hideaway Acoustimass module.

Acoustimass® module

This Bose breakthrough works in concert with the small speakers to deliver a fuller range of theater sound and effects. The patented Bose design produces low frequencies for all channels with no audible distortion. When the module is placed behind a curtain or chair, all of the sound seems to come directly from an expansive soundstage.

Integrated system design

This system is designed so every element—media center, speakers and Acoustimass module—works in harmony, enhancing performance and ease of operation.

Simplified setup

Just three wires and a power cord are all you need to set up your system. A setup disc is also included to guide you through the process.

Universal remote control

An easy-to-use, programmable universal remote control uses an infrared beam to let you command your television, video source (e.g. cable box or satellite receiver) and most of your entertainment devices together with your DVD system.

Active electronic equalization

Balances output of all frequencies to provide natural tonal balance and clarity throughout the audio spectrum.

Digital Dynamic Range® speaker compression circuitry

Enables you to hear soft sounds (particularly dialogue) even at low volumes—and still appreciate the impact of loud special effects.

Bose® link

Allows connectivity to a compatible Lifestyle® system for a whole-home entertainment network. This technology can also be enabled without any room-to-room wiring with the purchase of the Bose link AL8 homewide wireless audio link.
