Bose® 3 2 1® Series II DVD Home Entertainment System
Only two small speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass module deliver much of the home theater experience that other systems use five speakers to create. New, enhanced performance makes movies, music and TV come to life. And the newly redesigned, sleek media center includes a DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner and three inputs for additional sources. The 3·2·1 Series II system now features a new setup disc, which provides even greater ease of installation and use. The 3·2·1 system is for customers who want the benefit of home theater but would prefer the simplicity of two visible speakers, a hideaway Acoustimass module and fewer wires so they don't need to run wires to the back of their room. Three audio inputs with both analog and digital coaxial jacks, and one optical digital audio input Dimensions - media center, 31/6 H x 133/4 W x 99/10D; speaker arrays, 31/2H x 73/4W x 53/8D; Acoustimass module, 141/2H x 83/4W x 191/8D Bose 1-Year Warranty (transferable)

| User Reviews |  | cant do hd audio, isnt close to real surround sound
rating: 1
first of all the inputs are extremely limited. not to mention there isn't hdmi so you can't do HD audio signals just simple dolby with a low bitrate
for the money it costs, most people who buy it probably have an expensive television as well as possibly blu ray. if you are gonna put all that money into it then you should get the best.
the surround isnt really surround it simply puts sound behind youbut its not the same as "surround sound"
with my 5.1 setup there is a different source coming from each speaker so you can hear a bullet fly by you and hit a wall behind you. on top of that the subwoofer cant produce lows that a comprably priced subwoofer can. and the two speakers have virtually no bass at all
i work at best buy and could have gotten this set for pretty much 50 pct off but i never would its just not worth even that amount. and that also shows you just how much they jack the price up simply because of the name

Overpriced and underperforming
rating: 2
A typical Bose product -- marketed with lots of hype, expensive, and performs much less well than other systems that cost at least 30-40 percent less. The sound is uneven, and your options for dubbing etc are very limited. Don't waste your money on this one.

Worst Mistake I've Ever Made
rating: 1
Sound is good, but the dvd player is the worst machine ever. My 36 dollar dvd player actually out performs this one by a long shot. It won't open or close 99 percent of the time and then when it does, cannot read disc. I have since read about other having this problem, not getting the player to open or close. Here it is Fri. night, put in dvd, won't play and cannot retreive it to plug in somewhere else. PLEASE, spend your money on something other than this system.

Marketing at it's best, Product at it's worst.

After comparing the 3.2.1 Bose system with their 30 day money back guarantee to my neighbors system (Paradigm Speakers and Pioneer receiver). It went back in the box and back to the store.
His system was almost identical in cost, and light years better. I don't know how any of the other reviewers can rate this system so high except that they purchased blind with out ever comparing it directly to any competition. What a costly mistake.
The sound from my neighbors setup was full, rich, tight smack you in the chest base. The Bose was thin, dull, muddy.
Whew! Glad I used my brain and compared to another system. Boy I would have looked stupid rating 5 stars for the system had I not heard what a REAL surround sound system is supposed to sound like.

It's awful
rating: 2
I bought this system four months ago. I'm not happy with my purchase for the following reasons:
1) sound constantly drops off
2) you have to turn the volume WAY up to get the full "surround effect"
3) systems mysteriously shuts down on its own
4) DVD picture is not good as a stand-alone DVD player
5) Limited options and inputs
6) expensive and over-priced for what you get.
My verdict...save your money and buy another system.
