The Bose® Lifestyle® T20 home theatre system brings out the best in your movies, games and sports. And now, it’s easier than ever before to set up your system and all connected sources. Exclusive Bose Unify™ technology provides easy-to-follow onscreen messages to guide you through the entire setup process. It even verifies your connections to take away all the guesswork. Enjoy up to 6 HD video sources—such as your Blu-ray Disc™ player, cable box and gaming system. And control it all with one convenient remote.
The Lifestyle® T20 system offers breakthrough simplicity with the new Unify intelligent integration system. This proprietary technology enables a step-by-step walkthrough of your system setup. As you're attaching components to the control console, the system recommends the best connectors via on-screen messages. It even confirms that the connection was made properly.
Each connected product is automatically added to the source menu accessed on your TV screen. No more toggling through video inputs to find your source. If you add a Blu-ray player, it will be shown as a "Blu-ray player" in the on-screen menu. This makes it easy and intuitive for anyone to use the Unify system.
Unify technology also simplifies programming your Bose remote to control your Lifestyle® system and most anything attached to it. During setup, the Unify system references an internal database to identify each connected product, and automatically teaches the Bose remote to control it.
Experience lifelike surround sound
This Lifestyle® home theatre system uses Direct/Reflecting® cube speakers to fill your room with compelling surround sound. You'll hear movies, music and sports come to life in convincing detail. The small speakers work in concert with a hideaway Acoustimass® module. Exclusive technology in the module helps provide the emotional intensity you feel at the theatre or in a concert hall.
Sound designed for your room
Your room is unique, with size, shape, textures and other elements affecting the sound you hear. The ADAPTiQ® system was developed to analyse your room and then adjust the Lifestyle® surround sound system for a consistent, high-quality performance.
Features
Unify™ intelligent integration system uses on-screen navigation to simplify system setup and everyday use. This proprietary technology walks you through setup, showing the right inputs and best connection options, and even verifies you've done it correctly. Clear, on-screen menus provide all the information you need for your connected sources.
ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system provides greater freedom of speaker placement. It analyses the way your room's dimensions and other variables affect sound, then automatically adjusts the sound of your Lifestyle® surround sound system to the acoustics of your room.
Acoustimass® module works in concert with the small speakers to deliver a fuller range of theatre sound and effects. The patented Bose design produces low frequencies for all channels with no audible distortion.
Control console with connections for up to 6 HD sources (4 HDMI inputs)
Remote controls your Bose system and the components you've attached. Works on radio frequency to operate through walls and floors.
Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology delivers lifelike spaciousness from a natural balance of reflected and direct sound—similar to a live performance.
Proprietary Videostage® 5 decoding and post–processing circuitry, combined with digital 5.1 decoding and DTS®, helps deliver a high quality, five–channel surround sound experience from practically any source: DVDs, videocassettes, stereo CDs, even older mono TV shows and movies.

Can I attach an iPod® dock at a later date?
Yes, you can purchase a separate third-party iPod dock and connect it to one of the connectors on the back of your Lifestyle® T-class™ system.
