Amazon.com Product Description
The Bose 3-2-1 GS Series II progressive-scan DVD home entertainment system packs greater visceral power, broader media flexibility, and richer sound into an even less obtrusive speaker set. Half the size of the original 3-2-1 system's speakers, Bose's patented Gemstone speaker array works in concert with the system's TrueSpace surround processing to deliver a spacious, multichannel presentation from just 2 visible speakers and a hideaway Acoustimass module.
The system comes with a central DVD/CD media center, a pair of shelf speakers, a powered Acoustimass module (subwoofer), and everything you need to hook it all up with ease. Using Bose TrueSpace proprietary digital processing circuitry, the 3-2-1 GS.II system improves the sense of spaciousness imparted by stereo recordings and exciting movie effects from Dolby Digital and DTS surround-encoded materials. Yet its few parts require little effort to set up, so you can enjoy your new system's performance right away--it even comes with a helpful system setup and demo disc.
The DVD/CD player plays your DVD-Video movies (select from NTSC and PAL video formats) and CD-based music, including MP3 files written to recordable CD-R or CD-RW (including artist and title information display). Disc features include repeat and random play, DVD parental controls, forward and reverse chapter/track skip, and scanning within tracks.
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the 3-2-1 GS.II's media center is equipped to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
Proprietary Videostage 5 decoding circuitry goes beyond conventional digital technology to bring new life to old movies and music. It gives you a surround sound experience from practically any source, including older media such as videotapes, stereo CDs, even mono TV programs. Advanced post-processing techniques automatically deliver a clear, on-screen audio center image and balanced surround sound, similar to that of a 5.1-encoded DVD.
In the Bose Acoustimass module, 2 downward-firing drivers give you powerful performance for the lowest audible notes and effects. And proprietary Bose technology ensures that you hear with clarity the proper balance of deep lows from all channels for music and movies. Hide the module almost anywhere, even behind furniture, and all the sound seems to come from the small cube speaker arrays.
Other features include AM/FM tuning with 40 preset stations (20 FM, 20 AM), a sleep timer (1 to 90 minutes), and console input jacks for connecting other source components (such as a VCR, DSS, CD changer, or tape deck).
If you have other Bose hardware already in place--a Wave music system, a 3-2-1 Series II DVD system, or a Lifestyle system--you can hook it up to this 3-2-1 GS.II system using an optional 50-foot Bose link B connection cable to extend your entertainment to an additional listening area. You can also expand upon the 3-2-1- GS.II system later by integrating it with a Lifestyle system.

Satisfied.......2007-08-15
I bought this system for my bedroom to get better sound than was produced by the little speakers built into the TV. I was looking for a system that offered good sound quality, a DVD player and would provide a surround experience using a minimum amount of space. I did not want speakers in back since it was hard enough to get my wife to agree to put any speakers at all in the bedroom. This is a very compact system that offers great sound for what you see. I also have a full blown home theater set-up in my family room that cost many thousands of dollars and provides even better sound than a movie theater. The Bose 3.2.1 is not that kind of system and does not pretend to be. It is an excellent system with two very small speakers and a sub-woofer that only has a dvd/cd player to power it. I would buy it again.
Sounds great, plays great........2007-07-05
I'm going to keep this relatively simple and just cut to the facts of my own personal experience with this system.
The sound is amazing in my apartment. Even though it's not "true" surround sound, I can clearly hear things coming from the rear left and right spaces in my living room. Check out the intro bit to "Tenacious D's The Pick of Destiny" for a great example of what this system can do in regards to a surround effect.
I have never had any problems playing any discs in this sytem with regards to it reading the discs themselves. DVDs, DVD-Rs, DVD-Audio, and CDs have all played without a hitch. My iPod also sounds great playing through this system.
There were a couple times where the disc tray wouldn't open because my son had gunked up the playable side of a DVD with sticky fingerprints, but a SOLUTION IS GIVEN IN THE PRODUCT MANUAL ITSELF for rectifying such a situation. It takes all of two seconds to "fix," and this wasn't Bose's fault at all.
The picture quality is as groovy as any I've seen on a higher-end model. Personally, I don't own an HD TV, so I don't care about the hookups regarding that. It looks stellar on a standard def set. That's all I need it to do in regards to that.
I don't care that it doesn't have a headphone jack. I bought this thing to fully hear and experience some great sound. I got what I paid for. When I had a house, I had a full 5.1 system with the speakers wired behind me and everywhere else. Guess what? I still prefer this sytem.
I have my TV set on a standard entertainment console that I got at IKEA. The two main speakers I have sitting in front of the TV's speakers (I have the TV speakers shut off). It's perfect separation to my ears and provides all the effects flawlessly, with no need to find a "sweet spot" in my living room to sit in or any of that hoo-ha. I was amazed at this player's sound even while standing in the adjoining kitchen and at a perpendicular angle.
This is a rare high-end purchase where I've never felt bad about making a monthly payment. It's everything I hoped it would be and then some. Hardcore audiophiles are going to gripe about technicalities till they're blue in the face. This system is obviously not for them. And for the reviewers saying you can get a 39 dollar DVD player that's just as good, I say you're full of it. I've had a numnber of those, and yeah, they play DVDs just fine, but they don't offer an outstanding audio experience like this system.
To finish, I'd like to say that the setup was a snap, and I was able to easily integrate my Tivo and video game console with no problems whatsoever. Bose has made a great product here, period.
Horrible system - don't make the same mistake we all did!.......2007-05-28
I bought this system for the compact form factor and good sound. At home, the sound is adequate but not great. The size is good. And for the first 5 months, the performance was okay. I read many reviews about problems with this system crashing and counted myself lucky that I didn't get one of those 'lemons.'
Well, think again. In the last 4 weeks, the system has begun to crash repeatedly. Many times, I can't get eject my DVD without restarting >10 times. Many times, I hear the DVD spinning even when the system is supposed to be off. Some people say they can't play 1/5 DVDs. Well, it's more like 80% of my DVDs! I put them in my other system and they play flawlessly. This system has ruined my perception of Bose - poor quality with horrible support (they refuse to fix this fatal problem). I will never buy from them again - and I would never recommend this system to anyone. Believe the bad reviews - don't waste your money.
what a piece of junk.......2007-05-25
Amazon really needs a zero stars option for total junk like this. I admit, I purchased an older version of the 3-2-1 about 4 years ago, and the thing has been nothing but crap. The worst problem is that it is incredibly selective with DVD menus. Generally, films work fine, but I have had problem after problem with TV show DVDs, that tend to have more viewing options. For example, about half of the Buffy Chosen Collection is unwatchable on this system, whereas it play fine on my PC, as well as on a cheap, $35 DVD player from Wal-Mart.
The reason I am writing this review, however, is that the manufacturer has suggested to me that if a menu chokes the system up, try resetting it by unplugging the power cord from the Accoutamass (or whatever) module. That works about 15% of the time. And tonight, following that suggestion, the Accoustimass actually CAUGHT FIRE, billowing smoke and throwing sparks from the outlet. Thank God this didn't happen when I wasn't home.
Of course, mine is old enough to not have a warranty or anything, but when you pay a grand for something, you expect it to not crap out in less than 4 years.
That said, I did think the sound was pretty decent. But, at the price, I would say do not buy one of these. It is not worth it. You can buy good surround systems for under $400. this is nothing but a gimmick and Bose should be ashamed of itself. I'll never buy another Bose product again.
Sure, it is an impressive idea. But in fact, this is a bit like buying a Ferrari and finding out it has an engine from a Geo Metro. Don't be fooled.
Movie Sounds at Home.......2007-05-07
The Bose 3-2-1 Series in the best system i've ever had, This system with just 2 speakers, can take out any systen with 5, so when its all said and gone BOSE is the way to go!

Amazon.com Product Description
The Bose 3-2-1 GS II system offers simplicity, ease, and superb sound. Just two visible speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass module deliver full sound without the wires and cabinetry inherent in traditional surround sound systems.
The system includes a progressive scan DVD/CD player with AM/FM tuner. A programmable universal remote control lets you manage all your entertainment devices.
The Gemstone speaker array employs the most powerful 3-2-1 speakers to date and provides a spaciousness to audio that enhances movies and music. The 3-2-1 system is equipped with Videostage 5 decoding circuitry to improve audio-classic movies and TV sound almost like surround sound.
As with all Bose equipment, minimal space requirements prevail. The lack of center and rear speakers in the system save space without sacrificing quality. And the new speakers are 50% smaller than previous models-big things from a small package, indeed.
Customer Reviews:
DO NOT BUY BOSE 3-2-1.......2007-08-01
We have had our 3-2-1 for almost a year and I wish we had investigated more before our purchase. The sound on the 3-2-1 is great but if you want to watch movies...forget it. "Format unsupported" or "can't read disc" will be what you are looking at instead of your movie. The system will not play some DVDs at all and will play some one day and not the next. I wish we had never bought this system!
Piece of junk.......2007-07-15
For 4 months, I thought this system was 'okay.' Sound is mediocre when you get it home - not like in the store. There is no Eject button on the remote control. I lived with these minor problems even though I should have gotten more for my $900. Then, I started getting Format Unsupported Errors on every DVD I place into the unit. Many times, I can't get them out for 1-2 days. I have completely stopped watching DVDs since this is now hardwired into my home theater system. I would like Bose to replace it, but after reading the pervasive problems online, I think it's better just not to buy this system at all. Don't get fooled. This system will ruin Bose's already poor reputation for video hardware - and will waste your money.
Good sound, a few software quirks.......2007-06-24
Overall I've been happy with the sound from this unit in my relatively small living room.
However, I have experienced several of the software quirks mentioned by other readers. When playing DVDs, the unit will periodically lock up, requiring a hard reset to function again. The system also occasionally gets into a state where the sound has a deteriorated "tinny" quality -- this also goes away with a power cycle of the unit. Defects like this are a bit disappointing from a relatively mature (second edition) product from a name like Bose.
One tip is that while the system ships with relatively short custom cords for connecting the unit to subwoofer and the subwoofer to the speakers, longer versions of both cables can be ordered directly from Bose for relatively nominal cost (one was free and one was less than $50 if I recall).
unhappy.......2007-06-15
I bought mine for my Husband.We have all the same problem as all of you do and most of all the sound is not good .and they don't give you your money back if you purchase threw Bose ,witch I did that's alot of money down the drain .They don't care .All I got was return it for repair and I haVe to paid for that also .
works great.......2007-06-10

SIMPLEMENTE INSUPERABLE!.......2004-12-05
el mejor stereo de todos los tiempos habando en serio vale por cada centavo q te cueste (no es realmente sonido envolvente) pero como stereo no creo q aya en el mundo algo que lo supere ami gusto yo le daria un millon de estrellas cuando lo escuches te daras de cuenta que no exagero.
Bose 3-2-1 GS DVD.......2004-07-13
I was a little nervous at first purchasing this system because of some of the negative feedback I heard on other systems from Bose & the high price $1199. ABT electronics did throw in the $120 speaker stands for free which was nice. After I first installed the systems it did not sound as expected; but after some adjustments to the angle of the speakers and raising the bass and treble in the setup menu the sounds is terrific. As Bose states in their manual this system is meant to realisticaly recreate sounds, not overdue certain effects like many systems do. So far I have had great enjoyement listening to CD's and DVD's, Top Gun sounds better than I have ever heard it. The set-up was easy, including the stands it took 25 minutes and then another 30 min to understand all the menus.
Great Sound, Great Player.......2004-03-28
This is a great sound, you think how can 2 speakers have a 5.1 surround sound, well it can. I mean the depth, sound is rich in quality.
Pro's: Great sound, 3D depth, sounds like your in the theater. DVD player is a great player.
Con's: The worst con is that it does NOT support progressive scan out put, just regular Video cables, and S-Video.
BEST SYSTEM EVER.......2004-01-04
I just bought this system for my livingroom. I use to have a surround sound system with like 5 speakers and the speakers werent that great and were everywhere in the room. This 3-2-1 Bose System is easy to set up and only had 2 speakers and 1 subwoofer. If you have a small to medium size livingroom this is perfect. Its as if you were sitting at the movie theater. The system sounds so good and is also a dvd player, cd player and am fm radio. Its a dvd stereo system all in one. Im so glad I bought this product. You cant go wrong with this one.

Customer Reviews:
Perfect for those of us with other things to do.......2004-10-28
The truth is, there is nothing more easy than setting up this incredible system. In just a few minutes (literally) you are set up and ready to watch that brand new DVD. This Bose system is perfect for those of us who just want to listen to a CD while doing housework. And it's perfect for an 8 year old to insert the DVD and watch it in perfect surround sound without trying to figure out all the bells and whistles on a typical receiver.
Okay, I know it is "simulated" surround sound, but I honestly don't notice a difference from our old "real" surround sound system. Which, by the way, we rarely turned on because it was too much trouble to adjust all those settings just perfect. This system does all that stuff for you. You turn on the TV to watch your favorite program and there it is automatically in big beautiful sound. That's it.
Want to watch a DVD? Insert it into the DVD player and it starts automatically. Your show is in surround. Want to listen to a CD? Insert it and go do your stuff. No buttons, programs, fixing the treble and bass, adjusting those slide knobs, nothing.
But, if you feel the need to have that control, Bose lets you do that too. It's all fully adjustable via remote control. We needed to adjust the treble on a CD we made on our PC, and that was easy too.
Get this for it's incredible sound and ease of use. You'll be glad you did. And did I mention all those wires are now gone?
Bose- Overpriced, cheaply made testament to advertising........2004-02-04
Bose is a fascinating case study of what the power of advertising can do for a product that is cheaply made and outperformed by nearly all of its competition. Based on audio theories from the 1960's and parts of lower quality than what can be bought at Radio Shack, Bose has built an incredible empire out of poorly designed products.
Consumers should do their research before shelling out money for Bose speakers. A google search will bring you to epinions or audioreview websites where you can find review after review from buyers of Bose products.
The commonly accepted wisdom in audio circles is that Bose makes low audio quality products and sells them at very high prices. In other words those Polk, JBL, Wharfedale or Infinity mid-fi products you can find at Amazon are usually higher quality at much better price points.
Compare the sound if you ever get a chance. Make sure you DO NOT depend on volume, in other words volume is a bad indicater of quality. Listen for the high and low notes and to the clarity of the music. Tough to do in a showroom at Circuit City or Best Buy, but even there the differences will show up. Bose attempts to prevent consumers from doing this by segregating their products away from the competition.
After this you might look at online audio magazines (do a google search), Audioreview (one word) and Audiogon. You'll find whole NEW world of audio products such as PSB, Paradigm, Vandersteen, Quad, Sonus Faber, ACI and many more who's products will put you on a much higher level of audio than you'd ever imagine. Usually these speakers are SEVERAL times more electronically sophisticated than Bose at the same price! Good luck and happy hunting!
Quality sound that you would expect from Bose.......2004-01-03
It sounds good but understandably if you are looking for true surround sound it's not your answer. With this system you will get more of a high quality stereo effect. The trade off is it is easy to set-up. You will be enjoying your movies in about half an hour. This is easily accomplished because all the wires can be hidden behind the entertainment center.
its worth the money.......2003-11-06
this small package packs a huge punch. the sound is great, its easy to use and simple to put together. in my opinion, it is well worth the money.

Amazon.com Product Description
Producing 55 inches of widescreen excitement from a housing less than 18 inches deep, the Philips 55PL9223 Cineos television makes use of Philips' patented Liquid Crystal On Silicon (LCOS) reflective technology, which frees the set to be both lighter and smaller than current projection or CRT sets. The 55PL9223 offers an HD-ready, flicker-free screen with perfect convergence, no visible pixel grid, and no risk of image burn-in.
With its native 1,280 x 720 pixel resolution and a multitude of analog and digital inputs, the TV accepts high-resolution pictures from DTV set-top boxes, PCs, DVD players, and other devices, including both 1080i HD signals and 1,280 x 1,024 PC feeds. All standard-definition interlaced video signals are treated to Philips' PixelPlus line doubling, which turns them into near-high-definition (HD) images. By doubling the number of lines and the number of pixels per line, PixelPlus enhances both regular TV broadcasts and DVD inputs for unparalleled sharpness and depth.
Active Control performs continuous picture analysis and maintains control of Automatic Digital Noise Reduction and auto sharpness. A 3-line digital comb filter gives you improved chroma/luminance separation over standard 2-line comb filters.
The set's double-window, dual-tuner picture-in-picture feature splits the screen into two independent halves, letting you do everything from watching 2 shows simultaneously to watching one while surfing the other, or scanning channels while keeping an eye on video input 1, 2, or 3.
The set uses 2-way stereo speakers with a 2-inch and a 5-inch driver in each, and also features an auto volume limiter to minimize drastic level changes between, say, a TV program and its commercials. A center-channel speaker input lets you use the set as a center--no bulky or costly center-channel required--and a rear-panel subwoofer output makes it easy to hook up a powered sub for deeper-than-deep bass effects or low-end musical authenticity.
A 20-watts-per-channel sound system offers both Virtual Dolby Surround and Incredible Surround, processing circuitry that produces the sensation of surround sound without the hassle of installing additional rear speakers.
Other connections include 3 each composite- and S-video inputs, 3 component-video inputs (2 HD, 1 standard), a 15-pin D-Sub PC connection, and a DVI direct digital input for use with a compatible DTV set-top box or other DVI device. A set of audio/video outputs lets you integrate the set with your stereo or surround receiver, and a set of side-mounted AV inputs with a headphone output simplifies hookup of a camcorder, gaming console, or VCR.
