Questions & Answers

A TV or Blu-ray player This is a system using Ray and Gamin. Does the sound bar have to be hooked up through the HDMI connection on my TV or can it be connected to an external amplifier and my Bose system will handle the sound automatically?

To stream everything through your bose system, you should connect all of your systems (Blu ray, cable/sat box, game system) to your TV, and then use the fiber optic output on your TV to reach the In this way, any sound that would normally come through the TV will now go to the Bose.

The CineMate will automatically change the video input if the Device is connected to the RCA L/R ports and an Apple AirPort Device is used? Are you familiar with how the TV works when it's ?

My sincere appreciation goes out to you, Using an Apple Air Port device (or any audio device using the RCA style connectors) you can connect the CineMate 15 to this device. Digital input will be played if the input devices (such as your Blu-ray player) that are connected to the optical input or coaxial input are on and active. Nevertheless, if the device connected to the CineMate through the digital inputs (or both) is off, the Apple Air Port audio device will play through the RCA audio inputs.

How about dual voltage for the Cinemate?

Dual voltage is supported by the Acoustimass Bass Module that ships with the CineMate 15 and will work with these systems A 100-word summary The voltage is 240 Volts and 60Hz

Could you get an extension cable for your subwoofer that extends beyond Would you mind telling me what type of cable you have?

In short, yes. There is a version of this speaker that costs $40 from Bose. The cables shown here are two DB9 cable extensions attached side by side. Shielded DB9 cables, which are less than $10 per pair, come in a wide range of lengths.

Selected User Reviews For Bose CineMate 15 Home Theater Speaker System, Black

The sound is amazing and balanced
5/5

My preference has always been for quality in whatever I buy. I read reviews for weeks before deciding on the one I would go with. When I had a Vizio 5, I enjoyed watching movies on it. There were only 1 soundbars, which were fine. There were only one tiny bass speaker and one Soundbar on this Bose Soundbar, which made the Vizio obsolete. There are some people who complain that the sound is too weak on the cinemate 15. The sound in the sub was twice as loud as when I had it beside the TV. When the sub was placed sideways, against the wall, with the vent facing another wall, the sound was more full. It is important to place the subwoofer appropriately when a unit has.

For the ultimate audiophile experience, set up is minimal
5/5

It is not an ideal system for those who wish to enjoy surround sound The system will make your home entertainment setup more enjoyable, but if you're looking for a simple solution you may want to take a closer look at it. It was a hefty bass, but it wasn't It has bright treble, but without being Do not be put off by The hype factor You have a reason to pay more for Bose products than your average brand. Things to remember Please note that. Connecting the subwoofer to the soundbar is accomplished using a proprietary cable manufactured by Bose. Despite its length, it's not long enough to move away from the TV if you want the subwoofer far from the screen.

Issues of genuine concern It was a very disappointing experience
3/5

It took me a long time to figure out what I needed to buy Two Bose SoundTouch speakers were gifted to me and I am extremely pleased with both the sound quality and Bose's "proprietary" equalizer. These settings were mentioned as one of the biggest complaints about this system, so I decided that it would work The answer is yes I cannot emphasize enough how far superior this system is to the one I replaced. The balance between bass, treble, voices, whispers, music, etc. is excellent. It's just that this system has a lot of issues, all of which occur intermittently. After I bought it, I tried to send it back, but Adorama said once it is shipped, I have to deal directly with Bose, and I never bothered to do so. It was a mistake, because I ended up facing increasingly worse problems. You can use it for the following When the device first turns on, there is a loud popping noise The show mutes sound for a few seconds at the beginning of new episodes sometimes. " The audio sometimes gets out of sync with the show (Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, etc. ) - A lot of the time it goes completely out of sync. Typically, the episode is out of sync, but the amount varies, and it gets particularly bad if I pause the show or rewind/forward it. When the power has been on for a while, it emits a horrible scratching sound. I have recorded it, but it's an mp3 and I can't upload it. The connections have been checked, and I have retested However, the problem still persists intermittently despite all connections being made. I like the quality of sound, the low profile, the ease of operation, etc. , the other issues are frustrating but I'll be contacting Bose about getting a replacement unit for it or upgrading it if I can.

My personal belief is that Bose has a reputation as having a superior product, but you may have a different opinion
4/5

The Model Bose is something I had a lot of time to think about before I bought it. It's a great company that has a good reputation for having a great product but you will pay well for it. This was such a good deal at 549$, and I always read the negative reviews to try to get past the small issues. The Bose sound bar resides in my kitchen and is a good fit for a little 19-inch TV, as it is far superior to the Samsung sound bar I have now. It truly does give you that wonderful kick when you use the Woofer! A person's actions dictate their future. You can reach out to Lil Woof when you need to. It was only turned up a little less than half way and I am satisfied. Incredibly, there is another sound coming from this small speaker as well. must say that you will be glad that you did. Please keep in mind that my man cave may be 15x20 in size. Could you please let me know if you have a bigger There may be a need for an The sound is the sound. If I had to say what I do not like The sound is No adjustments can be made to the treble or bass. I'm fine with that. You can adjust the bass There is no denying the fact that it is what it is. There is no way to change the Vocal, for example, the way you can change I am talking about sport, cinema, movies, and the press. Oh, did I mention sports? are not able to see the volume, either. You see it as a light that blinks if the volume is The only thing I do is turn the volume up to my liking. I only turn up the TV treble to my liking. I'm hard of hearing! My wife always tells me to turn it down - I know I like it. If it's a small or medium room, I will say YES. Despite my best efforts, I haven't let it go! Would you like to have a chance with me? In the near future, I will purchase one for my living room television.

The results were so much better than I had Quite a few sounds from him
5/5

The results were so much better than I had From just two speakers, a lot of sound is produced. THe bass is out of this world, I can't believe my Samsung Soundbar can compete with it!.

I love it
5/5

The price is more than that of other brands, but it is worth it! There is nothing not to like about this system. As a matter of fact, I don't even know where my Samsung TV remote is anymore since I want to use the Bose rather than the Samsung remote. Although I would like to see some improvements, there are two I find particularly important. Every time you want to increase or decrease the bass level you have to change it manually, which is annoying, but not a deal breaker. Also, you cannot see the volume bar when you are lowering or raising it. The latter is probably down to Bose's ability to integrate the system with TVs rather than to the manufacturer of the system.

We heard speakers
5/5

As soon as I received the product, I discovered it wasn't wireless, which wasn't mentioned in the description. But other than that, I'm happy with it.

It's been six months and now there are problems
5/5

Six months after the completion of the program. The TV and speaker both make a loud popping or crackling noise when I power them on. Currently, I have a Sharp Aquos smart television and Spectrum Cable as my The only refund offered to me by Amazon is a partial one. It does not satisfy me in the least. That implies that Bose’s products have a life expectancy of six months or less?.
