Safety Information
Please read this guide
Please read this owner’s guide carefully and save it for future reference.
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle alerts the user to the presence of uninsulated, dangerous voltage within the system enclosure that may be of sufcient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, as marked on the system, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in this owner’s guide.
WARNINGS:
• To reduce the risk of re or electrical shock, do not expose the product to rain or moisture.
• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and do not place objects lled with liquids, such as vases, on or near the apparatus. As with any electronic products, use care not to spill liquids into any part of the system. Liquids can cause a failure and/or a re hazard.
• Solo 10 remote: Keep new and used batteries away from children. Do not ingest battery, chemical burn hazard. The remote control supplied with this product contains a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/ button cell battery is swallowed it can cause severe internal burns in just two hours and can lead to death. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children. If you think the battery may have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention. The coin/button cell battery may explode or cause a re or chemical burn if incorrectly replaced or mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C) or incinerate. Replace only with an agency approved (ex. UL) CR2032 or DL2032 3-volt lithium battery. Dispose of used batteries promptly.
• Solo 15 remote: Do not dismantle, open or shred battery pack or cells. Do not expose batteries or a battery pack to heat or re. Avoid storage in direct sunlight. Do not short-circuit battery. Do not store batteries carelessly in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by other metal objects. Do not remove a battery from its original packaging until required for use. Do not subject batteries to mechanical shock. In the event of a battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice. Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) marks on the battery and equip­ment and ensure correct use. Do not use any battery pack or cell which is not designed for use with the product. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed. Always purchase the correct battery for the equipment. Keep batteries clean and dry. Wipe the battery terminals with a clean dry cloth if they become dirty. Use the battery only in the applica­tion for which it was intended. When possible, remove the battery from the equipment when not in use. Replace only with AA (IEC LR06) alkaline batteries.
• Do not place any naked ame sources, such as lighted candles, on or near the apparatus.
• Never place the equipment in an unstable location. The equipment may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions
such as:
- Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the equipment.
- Only using furniture that can safely support the equipment.
- Ensuring the equipment is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
- Not placing the equipment on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both the furniture and the equipment to a suitable support.
- Not standing the equipment on cloth or other materials placed between the equipment and supporting furniture.
- Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the equipment or its controls.
• If you doubt your ability to safely mount your television or set up this product, contact a professional installer for help.
• Do not allow children to push, pull, or climb on an A/V monitor. This may cause it to tip over, possibly
resulting in personal injury or death. For added safety and stability, be sure to secure the monitor using a suitable anti-tip device.

System Setup

Step 1: Placing the system

1. Move your TV aside and turn it so you can see the Audio Out panel.
2. Place the Solo system where you had your TV.
TV Audio OUT panel
Placement guidelines:
• The Bose® Solo 15/10 system is designed to fit under TVs that weigh no more than 75 lbs (34 kg) and have bases no wider than 24" (61 cm), and no deeper than 12.25" (31 cm).
• The base of your TV should be centered on the top of the system and must not hang over any of its edges.
• 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 can also mount your TV on the wall above 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.
Cautions:
• DO NOT place a CRT type TV on this system. It is not designed for use with this type of TV.
• 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.
• If placing the sound system backed up to a wall, make sure there is a space of at least 1" (2.5 cm) between the wall and the rear of the system.
• With any placement of this product, make sure the ventilation openings on the rear panel are not blocked.
• 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.

System Setup
Step 2: Choosing the type of audio cable
to use
1. On the back of your TV, locate the Audio Out connector panel and note which
type of audio output connectors your TV has.
Analog stereo audio
Use this connection if no optical or coaxial digital audio outputs are available.
2. Choose the appropriate audio cable for your TV.
Note: Your Solo system may come with several types of audio cables. Only one
audio connection is needed. Choose one cable and set the others aside.
Note: The optical or coaxial cable will provide the best audio performance.
Use the analog cable only if your TV does not have an optical output or a coaxial output.
Tip: If your TV does not have any audio outputs, you can use the audio outputs
on another device. See “Using alternate connections” on page 17 for other ways to connect the Solo TV sound system.
Optical digital audio
Use either of these connections for best audio performance.

16 - English
System Setup

Using alternate connections

You may need to use an alternate connection:
• If your TV does not have any audio output connections or does not deliver the
audio to the Solo 15/10 system. See “Connecting a cable/satellite box to the sys­tem” or “Connecting a TV headphones output to the system” on pages 17-18.
• If you do not get sound from a DVD player that is connected to your TV.
See “Connecting multiple devices to the system” on page 19.

Connecting a cable/satellite box to the system

You can connect a cable/satellite box to the Solo 15/10 system. Only one cable is needed.
Caution: If using an optical cable, refer to page 12 for important instructions.
1. On the back of your cable/satellite box, locate the Audio Out connector panel and note which type of audio outputs your cable/satellite box has.

System Setup
Connecting multiple devices to the system
If you have a device such as a DVD player connected to your TV, you may discover that your TV does not pass audio from the DVD player to the audio output on your TV. The Solo system provides a solution to this problem. You can connect up to three devices to the Solo system using a different type of audio cable for each.
For example, the figure below shows a cable/satellite box and a DVD player or game system connected to the Solo system.
Note: This alternate connection scheme may not work with the equipment you have
in your home because some devices like cable/satellite boxes always remain on. When multiple devices are connected to the Solo system, turn on only the device you want to use and turn off the others.
Caution: If using an optical cable, refer to page 12 for important instructions.
