the system be all you would expect from bose , so I will not repeat all the accolade here . the elegant on-screen interface be terrific as it recognize every media form out there from Wii to AppleTv , Blu-Ray to VCR . BUT it do not recognize ... a ipod ? in order to listen to you ipod through the system , you be require to open the front panel of the bose control console and plug in red\/white rca jack from you ipod in order to `` fool '' the system in to play you music . even a bose ipod dock that plug right in to a mere Wave Radio will not work here . no , if you want a Bose Home Theater system that recognize you mp3 player , you 'll just have to cough up a extra $ 500 to $ 1200 for a v25 or v35 system . it be a bit frustrating to plug in you appletv and have the system read `` appletv '' only to then plug in you -lrb- esoteric , I guess -rrb- ipod and you $ 2000 sound system do not respond . Ugh .
