Cons Stupid instruction manuals, unhelpful customer service, flimsy disc door and iPod dock
Recommended it? Yes

While setting it up, I read about something called "VieraLink" - a way for Panasonic devices to talk to each other over an HDMI connection. My curiosity piqued, I hit the web to find out what kind...

We were looking to replace our Bose 321 system in our family room. Over about 4 years the Bose was showing its age more than a bit. Where movies used to be played and clearly heard with a volume setting of 40, we were now often at 80.

I had wanted a blu ray player for some time, also wanted... Read full review »

I have had this system for about 7 months now, so hopefully I have experienced all I can and offer you my full personal opinion about the Bose Lifestyle 38.

Pros The versatility of the system is the biggest asset. The technical support is outstanding.
Cons The biggest downfall has been the inability to load MP3 tracks. I HATE THIS!
Recommended it? Yes

We work from home and were listening to music through our NuTone intercom system. Although we could connect CD players and MP3 players to the NuTone system, it was only a monotone unit. After meeting with several vendors about the retrofit of a whole house stereo system, we elected to purchase the... Read full review »
