INTRODUCTION

Before you begin

Thank you for purchasing the Bose® CineMate® system,
which delivers the superb acoustic performance

needed to enjoy the full audio impact of DVDs and
other exciting home entertainment.

The CineMate system comes in two configurations:

• CineMate series II – includes the standard CineMate
speakers and a simple remote control.

• CineMate GS series II – includes the smaller
Gemstone

Both configurations include an attractive floor-standing
Acoustimass
interface module that provides simple audio
connections to your TV.

Using our TrueSpace
the CineMate system speakers provide improved
spaciousness for bold 3-D effects and movie-like
realism from surround encoded DVDs and other
entertainment sources. In fact, they provide much of
the performance of premium five-speaker systems from
a modest array of equipment.

Italiano SvenskaDeutsch NederlandsEnglish FrançaisEspañol

SYSTEM SETUP

1. On the bottom of each speaker, attach one set of

small rubber feet.

2. Place the left and right speakers:

• at least 3 feet (1 meter) apart

• within 3 feet (1 meter) of the TV screen

• near the front edge of any shelf

• aimed straight ahead (not angled) to face the
listening area.

3. On the legs of the Acoustimass

®

module, attach the

large rubber feet.

4. Place the Acoustimass module:

• at the same end of the room as the speakers and
your TV

• at least 3 feet (1 meter) from the TV to prevent
interference with the screen

• at least 2.5 feet (.8 meters) from audio or video
tapes to prevent magnetic damage to them

• within reach of the cable from the interface
module and an AC (mains) power outlet

• with the front port aimed out from or along a wall
for balanced performance

• hidden under a table, behind a sofa or chair, or
behind drapes as preferred

• NOT in an enclosure, on a bed, on a sofa, or on a
surface that can block the ventilation openings.

CAUTION: Do not block ventilation openings on the
bottom and rear of the module.

Note: Keep in mind that the Acoustimass module is the
only part of this system that connects to a power outlet.

SYSTEM SETUP

ItalianoSvenska DeutschNederlands EnglishFrançais Español

The interface module receives commands from the
remote control and provides audio input connections
for the CineMate

®

system. The remote control
commands allow you to turn the speakers on, change
the volume, and mute or turn off the speaker system.

5. Place the interface module:

• on a flat surface near the TV and other home
theater equipment

• within 15 feet (4.6 meters) of the Acoustimass

®

module

• NOT in direct sunlight

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.

Peel the protective film off the lens on the front of
the

interface

module.

Note: The remote should have a clear line of sight to
the interface module, the TV, and any other equipment
it will control.

CAUTION: When positioning the interface module,
avoid blocking any ventilation openings on the TV or
other electronicequipment.
