Overview
Movie and gaming households that want surround without learning receiver menus get a Bose system that guides setup on the TV screen, switches several HD sources and upscales video. Direct/Reflecting speakers spread the sound.
Onscreen guided setup removes the usual confusion of wiring a surround system. Several HD inputs let a cable box, disc player and console share one hub. The listing gives few details on power, subwoofer or speaker sizes.
Who it's for
Living rooms with several HD sources and no appetite for receiver menus get an easy system. Hobbyists who like upgrading individual components should build a separate setup.
Pros and cons
- Guided onscreen setup
- Switches several HD sources
- Stereoscopic video pass-through
- Speaker and subwoofer details sparse
- Closed system, hard to upgrade
- Heavy shipping weight
Performance notes
Surround spread comes from the Direct/Reflecting speakers, which aim some sound at walls to widen the field, so room shape matters. The Unify system checks connections during setup. Video sources pass through and are upscaled for the TV.
