For a DUD disc to be compatible with a player, their respective region numbers must match.
These numbers are assigned by the geographic region where the player and disc are sold.
You can find the region number for your system on the bottom of the media center.
If you have trouble playing a DVD disc, check to see if the region number marked
on the disc label or packaging matches the region number of your system. A DVD
and media center marked for use in Region 1 should display the symbol at right.
Glossary of terms
AAspect ratio - An expression for the width of the picture relative to the height and seen when
as a rectangular TV image. For example, if the aspect ratio is 4:3 (read as 4 by 3), the shape of
that picture is 4 units wide by 3 units high. The standard TV aspect ratios are 4:3 and 16:9.
C CD-R, CD-RW -Abbreviations for Recordable (R)and ReWriteable (RW) Compact Disc (CD).

and two color signals for considerably better resolution than can be provided by either
composite or S-video signals. This more complex signal also requires the use of component
connection jacks, which are not available on all televisions or video components.
Composite video -The simplest of three types of video signal, which combines rather than
separates brightness (black and white) and color information. It provides the lowest resolution
of the three, but is compatible with the broadest range of televisions and other video compo-
nents and requires a simple video cable connection to RCAjacks.

accepted as an international standard. Dolby Digital is the most common means of encoding
multi-channel audio.
rlq_ _The logo representing Dolby Digital.
DiGiTAL

(RW) Digital Video (or Versatile) Disc (DVD). Data can be added to a DVD-R or +R once only,
and to a DVD-RW or +RW more than once.
DVD-ROM - The abbreviation for Read Only Memory (ROM) on a Digital Video (or Versatile)
Disc (DVD), which allows no data to be added.
DVD video -A standard for storing and reproducing audio and video on DVD-ROM discs,
based on MPEG video, Dolby Digital audio, and other proprietary data formats.

Getting good remote control range and response
The cord that connects the power supply to the VS-2 and the VS-2 to the media center
contains an antenna for your RF remote. For good range, it is VERY important that you extend
this cord to its full length and keep it away from other system cables. Placing the power
supply on the floor, well below the media center, puts the cord in a vertical orientation, which
is optimum.
Note: When using a plasma screen TV,keeping the media center power supply as far from the
TVas is practical improves remote range,
If your system does not respond when you press a button on the remote, it could be time to
change the batteries. For information on the type of batteries to use and how to change them,
refer to "Replacing the remote control batteries" on page 41.
In some buildings, there may be "dead spots" where remote control signals are not effective.
If this happens, move the remote a foot or two and try again. If this does not help, move the
media center a few feet to see if a new location provides better response.
If the batteries are not dead and your efforts to avoid dead spots are in vain, you may need an
antenna extender. To contact Bose for more information, or to order the extender, refer to the
contact list included with the system.
