SYSTEM SETUP  
Selecting a location for your CineMateTM speaker system  
Use the following guidelines to choose locations and positions for the speakers and the  
Interface module. While these guidelines are offered to ensure the best system performance,  
you may find other placement variations that are more convenient and provide the sound you  
enjoy.  
Note: Keep in mind that the Acoustimass® module is the only part of this system that connects  
to a power outlet.  
Positioning the Interface module  
The Interface module receives commands from the universal remote control and provides audio  
input connections for the CineMateTM speaker system. The remote control commands allow you  
to turn the speakers on, change the volume, and mute or turn off the speaker system.  
• Position the Interface module on a flat surface near the TV and other home theater equipment  
(Figure 2). The remote should have a clear line of sight to the Interface module, the TV, and  
any other equipment it will control.  
• Keep the Interface module within 15 feet (4.6 meters) of the Acoustimass module, to which it  
connects.  
• If you position the Interface module on a shelf, make sure the front edge of the module is  
flush with the front edge of the shelf. If on a high shelf, make sure the front edge of the  
module extends slightly past the front of the shelf, so the shelf does not block signals from  
the remote control.  
• Do not position the Interface module in direct sunlight.  
• Peel the protective film off the lens on the front of the Interface module.  
CAUTION: When positioning the Interface module, avoid blocking any ventilation openings on  
the TV or other electronic equipment.

SYSTEM SETUP  
Positioning the speakers  
Choosing a good location for the speakers will allow you to experience the audio surround  
effects that your CineMateTM home theater speaker system is designed to deliver.  
Note: The left and right speakers are identical. Place one speaker to the left of your TV and the  
other one to the right.  
• Place the left and right speakers at least 3 feet (1 meter) apart from each other to  
optimize the surround sound experience (Figure 3).  
• Place each speaker within 3 feet (1 meter) of the edge of the TV screen. Placing the  
speakers more than 3 feet away from the TV may cause the sound to seem separated from  
the TV picture (Figure 3).  
• If you are using a bookshelf or a home entertainment unit, place each speaker at the  
front edge of its shelfꢄꢃPositioning the speakers too far back in an enclosed space can  
change the overall quality of sound and alter the program’s sound effects.  
CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for both speakers. Vibration can cause the  
speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. If  
you are placing the speakers on a smooth surface, be sure to attach one set of the small rubber  
feet to the bottom surface of each speaker. You can obtain additional rubber feet (PN 178321)  
from Bose® Customer Service. For Bose contact information, refer to the address sheet included  
in the carton.  
Note: The speakers can be mounted on Bose brackets, table stands, or floor stands. For  
ordering information, refer to “Accessories” on page 22. Additional or longer cables may also be  
ordered.

Using TV audio output jacks  
Audio output jacks are not standard on all brands of TVs. Some TVs have more than one set  
of audio output jacks; others have none. Use the guidelines below to help determine how to  
connect your TV to the Interface module.  
• If your TV has two sets of audio output jacks that are labeled FIXED (FIX) and VARIABLE  
(VAR), use the jacks labeled FIXED (recommended for the highest sound quality). If there is  
only one audio output jack labelled FIX/VAR (Out To TV, or Monitor Out, etc.), then you may  
need to find the $XGLRꢀ2XWSXWꢀitem in your TV’s on-screen menu and select )L[HG. See  
“Selecting the FIXED audio output option on your TV” on page 13.  
• If your TV has only VARIABLE (VAR) audio output jacks, you can connect the Interface  
module to them. However, if you use the VARIABLE audio output jacks, you must be sure to  
turn off your TV’s internal speakers and turn up your TV volume. See “Turning off the TV  
internal speakers” on page 13.  
• If your TV does not have any audio output jacks, you can connect the CineMatespeaker  
system to the audio output jacks of another source, such as a DVD player or cable/satellite  
box. However, you will hear sound only from the connected source through your CineMate  
speakers.  
Connecting the power cord  
CAUTION: Do not plug the Acoustimass® module into an AC power (mains) outlet until the  
speakers and Interface module are connected.  
CAUTION: For dual-voltage models only, be sure to set the dual-voltage switch on the back  
of the Acoustimass module to the appropriate voltage for your area (115V or 230V) before  
connecting to power. If you are not sure about the proper voltage for your area, consult your  
local electrical authorities.  
1. Insert the small connector end of the power cord into the AC input connector on the  
Acoustimass module (Figure 13).  
2. Insert the large end of the cord into an AC power (mains) outlet.

SYSTEM SETUP  
Setting up your TV for the CineMateTM speaker system  
To enjoy the full benefit of hearing TV audio through the CineMateTM speaker system, the  
internal speakers in your TV should be turned off. Your TV may have an on-screen audio  
menu that includes an option for turning the TV speakers on or off.  
Your TV audio menu may also include an option for selecting a FIXED or VARIABLE audio  
output. If possible, use FIXED for the highest sound quality.  
The following describes the most common ways to make these changes in your TV. Refer to  
your TV owner’s guide for specific instructions for your brand.  
Turning off the TV internal speakers  
Newer TVs normally 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 jacks.  
Using a TV setup menu  
1. Using your TV remote, display the audio menu on your TV screen. In most cases this can  
be done by pressing the 0HQX button and selecting $XGLR.  
2. Locate the 6SHDNHUVꢀ2Qꢁ2IIꢀmenu item, select 6SHDNHUVꢀ2II and exit the menu.  
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.  
Using a speaker on/off switch  
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.  
Selecting the FIXED audio output option on your TV  
Changing this setting is based on how you connected the Interface module to your TV (see  
“Using TV audio output jacks” on page 11).  
1. Using your TV remote, display the audio menu on your TV screen. In most cases this can  
be done by pressing the Menu button and selecting Audio.  
2. Turn off the TV speakers (see “Turning off the TV internal speakers”).  
3. Locate the Audio Output item in the TV menu and select Fixed. Exit the audio menu,  
and reduce the TV volume to its lowest setting.  
If you do not have the option of selecting either Fixed or Variable, turn off the TV  
speakers (see “Turning off the TV internal speakers”), exit the audio menu, and adjust the TV  
volume to about 80% of the highest volume.

6. Check that the TV source button blinks twice and turns off after the code is entered.  
7. Point the remote at your TV and press TV On-Off. If your TV does not respond, go back  
to Step 1 and try another code.  
Follow the same procedure for each of your other sources, using the appropriate device code  
and source button for each source.  
Note: During programming, the five source buttons will flash rapidly three times if you press an  
invalid key or enter an unavailable device code. If this happens, go back to Step 1 and start over.  
To control a combination device  
• If you are programming the remote to control a combination device that has more than one  
source, such as a VCR/DVD unit, you can program the combination code into either remote  
control source. You may find it convenient to program the code twice – once for the VCR  
and once for the DVD.  
To find the right device code, first search the “COMBINATION” listings in the CineMate™  
device codes book. If you cannot find a valid code there, then search the listings for  
individual device types (TV, CBL, VCR, DVD, etc.).  
Note: If you need to verify which device code is currently programmed in your remote, see  
“Verifying a device code” on page 21.
