SYSTEM SETUP  
System placement  
The Bose® Solo TV sound system is designed to be placed under your TV.  
TV size limit  
The Bose Solo system is designed for TVs that weigh no more than 40 lb (18 kg) and  
have bases no wider than 20" (508 mm) and no deeper than 10¼" (260 mm). Most 32"  
TVs and smaller meet these requirements.  
CAUTION: DO NOT place a CRT type TV on this system. It is not designed for use with this  
type of TV.  
Placement guidelines  
The base of your TV should be centered on the top of the system and must not  
hang over any of its edges.  
CAUTION: Allowing the base of your TV to hang over any edge of this speaker  
system increases the risk of the TV tipping, which may result in injury.  
CAUTION: If your TV comes with an anti-tip device, install it according to  
the manufacturer’s instructions and adjust the tether as instructed after placing  
the TV on top of the system. Installing an anti-tip device is recommended when  
using a TV with this product. If your TV did not come with an anti-tip device, you  
can get one from most retail TV suppliers.  
If the TV base is too large to fit on top of the system, place the sound system in  
another location such as on an open shelf under the TV, but keep it close to your TV so  
the audio cable will reach. You also could mount your TV on the wall above the system.  
If placing the sound system backed up to a wall, make sure there is at least a  
one-inch space between the wall and the rear of the system.  
If placing the sound system in a cabinet, or on a shelf, position the front of the  
system as close as possible to the front edge of the shelf for optimum audio  
performance.  
CAUTION: With any placement of this product, make sure the ventilation openings on the  
rear panel are not blocked.

SYSTEM SETUP  
Setting up the system  
Setting up this system is very simple. It requires only one audio connection to your TV  
and one AC power connection.  
1. Set your TV aside but keep it close by. It is a good idea to turn it so you have access  
to the connection panel.  
2. Place the sound system in the location where you plan to place your TV.

SYSTEM SETUP  
3. Connect one of the provided audio cables to your TV.  
Most TVs today have the three types of audio outputs shown below. For the best  
audio performance, always use the highest quality output available; optical being the  
first choice, coaxial the second, and analog the third.  
Optical audio cable  
(used for example only)  
Optical digital audio (recommended)  
• A digital audio output that passes digital data in the form of  
pulsating light through a fiber optic cable.  
TV  
• If available, use this connection for best audio performance.  
Coaxial digital audio (recommended)  
• A digital audio output that passes digital data through a  
75-ohm coaxial cable.  
• Use this connection if an optical output is not available.  
Analog stereo audio  
• The most common type of audio output where the left and  
right channel are connected separately.  
• Use this connection if no digital audio outputs are available.  
Note: If you are using an optical cable, be sure to remove the protective plug cover.  
When inserting the plug into the connector, you may sense a slight resistance and additional  
pressure may be needed to get it to click securely in place.

6. Place your TV on the sound system, making sure the TV base is centered and does  
not hang over any edge of the system.  
CAUTION: Be sure to center the base of  
your TV on the top of this product.  
CAUTION: If your TV comes with an anti-tip device, install it according to the manufac-  
turer’s instructions and adjust the tether as instructed after placing the TV on top of the  
system. Installing an anti-tip device is recommended when using a TV with this product. If  
your TV did not come with an anti-tip device, you can get one from most retail TV suppliers.  
7. Plug the sound system power cord into a live AC outlet.  
A moment after applying power, the system emits two tones indicating that it is ready  
to use.  
Turning the system on  
1. Press the power button  
2. Turn on your TV.  
on the Bose® remote.  
3. Turn off your TV’s built-in speakers:  
To enjoy the full benefit of hearing TV audio through the Solo TV sound system, the  
internal speakers in your TV should be turned off. Newer TVs usually have a setup  
menu item for turning off speakers. Older TVs may have a speaker on/off switch on  
the rear panel near the audio output connectors.  
• If you have a TV with a setup menu, use the remote that came with your TV to  
locate the menu item and set the TV speakers to off. If your TV does not have a  
menu setting for turning off the internal speakers, exit the audio menu and reduce  
the TV volume to its lowest setting.  
• If the rear panel of your TV has a speaker on/off switch, set it to the off position and  
adjust the TV volume to about 80% of the highest volume.  
Note: To confirm your TV speakers are off, press Mute on the Bose remote and  
check that no sound is coming from the TV.
