The system with ADAPTiQ acoustic environmental compensation produces good sound reproduction with DVD's or pure Audio. My only complaint is that the remote cannot be programmed to operate either my five year old Panasonic DVD Player or my General Instruments Cable box so I'm stuck using three remotes.

Replaced a seven year-old Onkyo system with the Bose V30. The system worked well right out of the box. The jewel cube speakers are outstanding considering their size. Unlike conventional speakers, they are broken into two speakers each (per speaker) and allow you to swivel each speaker in different directions. I am quite aware that I spent alot of money compared to other systems available, but the Bose design blended nicely into my room's decor. You don't even know there is a home theater system in the room. Classical music is amazing on this system. Movies are awesome. I use the system with a Sharp Aquos 42 1080P and a Sony Blu-ray player. Of course, my cable provides 40 or 50 HD channels. One thing I have discovered is that I can use the Bose system 100% of the time, even when watching a TV program. With the Onkyo, I only used it for movies and music because it was overbearingly powerful. The Bose V30 fills the room with rich sound and it is pleasing, even at lower volumes. Sure, I could have spent less on another system, but for the minimalist design and outstanding sound, nothing else compared. I did have a few issues during installation and Bose customer service was personable, patient and effective (and also English-speaking AMERICANS). Bottom line: if it fits your budget, it is a fantastic system!

I recently remodeled a house and removed the old entertainment center and speaker prewiring. I designed the new entertainment center around the V30 system. I also ran the Bose speaker wires in hopes of having the best sound possible by avoiding connections and using as many Bose components as possible. I mounted the 5 speakers, ran the different wires for the display, bass module and main module. I made of the connections per the instructions with the TV, cable box and DVD player. I could not get a signal to the TV. I could from the cable box and DVD player directly but not using the HDMI port on the main module. I called BOSE and followed the steps given by the representative. Since I did not have a video signal to the TV, I could not set up the system. During my call I had to guess what the display was telling me since it was not in English. The display looked like it had an error message and a message to contact Bose. The representative said I had to return the system. Let me say that again, return the system. Yes, disconnect and remove all pieces of the system. Even though the speakers work fine, the bass module works fine, the display works fine, I have to disconnect and remove all pieces, repack them in the box and ship them to Bose. Then wait for a complete new system and re install the complete system. The last time I checked, at the Bose outlet store, it was $650.00 to install a Bose home theater system. But my time to un install and re install an entire system for one bad component is worth nothing to Bose. I've had one other problem with a Bose headset. For this amount of money, I would look else where for a home theater system and avoid this level of customer service, or lack thereof.
