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 CineMate™ speaker
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.

Setting up the remote to control other sources
The universal remote control provided with your CineMate™ speaker system can be
programmed to control your TV, cable/satellite box, VCR, DVD player, and Digital Video
Recorder (DVR) such as TiVo brands or ReplayTV brands. With the CineMate universal
remote, you can enjoy the convenience of using only one remote control for all your home
theater equipment.
Finding device codes
In order to control your TV and other sources with the universal remote control, you must
program the remote with a five-digit device code for each source.
To find device codes for your source, see the CineMate Universal Remote Device Codes
book included in the product carton.
Note: More than one code may work with your particular brand of device. If you notice a lack of
response or limited functionality after setting up the remote, try a different code.
To control your TV
The steps below show how to set up the remote to control your TV. To set up the remote to
control other sources, you will need to follow the same procedure, using the appropriate
device code and source button for each source.
1. Locate the TV section in the CineMate Universal Remote Device Codes book.
2. Locate the five-digit device code(s) for your brand of TV and start with the first one.
3. Press and hold Setup on the remote until all five source buttons light up.

button
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.
