A Bose television is a television made by Bose Corporation. VideoWave television was released in 2010. It is claimed to deliver audio similar to a 5.1 system even though all of the speakers are imbedded in the screen. ==VideoWave== Bose's first TV includes 16 speakers built into the 46-inch 1080p LCD unit, a control console, an iPod dock and remote control (termed "click pad" by Bose) using soft keys which are displayed on the TV.〔(CNet - Bose debuts VideoWave all-in-one TV surround system )〕 It is claimed that high-frequency aiming of sound (termed "PhaseGuide" by Bose) simulates surround sound.〔(Bloomberg Businessweek - Bose Unveils Stereo LCD Television )〕 The system does not include a subwoofer, it is claimed that low frequency sound is provided by the 6 foot long waveguide that is powered by six speakers. These six speakers are oriented in opposite directions, it is claimed this reduces vibration.〔(Wall Street Journal - Pricey Bose TV Promises Theater Sound, No External Speakers )〕 Shown to the press on September 28, 2010 it went on sale on October 14, 2010.〔(Digital Trends - Bose VideoWave hands-on preview )〕 The remote control has only a few buttons on it – Power, Input, Channel, Volume, Mute, and Back. The remote can function as a universal remote (including control of TiVo and iPod devices),〔(Today - Singapore first country outside the US to get Bose VideoWave )〕 with most controls shown on the TV screen. A microphone is included to help tune the system for the room acoustics (termed "AdaptiQ" by Bose), much like many home theatre receivers.〔(techcrunch - Bose Announces Two Soundbar Systems )〕 The VideoWave can act as a single point of control for the whole system (termed "Unify" by Bose) and setup menus can be displayed on the television. The VideoWave was judged to have good audio quality, video quality and features, but was criticized for costing more than an equivalent traditional setup (i.e. using an AV receiver and surround sound speakers).〔http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20017906-1.html〕 〔http://www.choice.com.au/reviews-and-tests/technology/home-entertainment/televisions/bose-videowave.aspx〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bose televisions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
