WELCOME
Thank you
Thank you for choosing a CineMate ®1 SR digital home theater speaker system for your
home. It delivers superb acoustic performance in a stylish package that will greatly
enhance your home theater experience.
Pmease play the DVD
Before you start following the step-by-step setup instructions in this guide, we
recommend playing the setup overview on the included DVD disc. This will show
you how easy it is to set up your new system.
To watch the setup overview, load the included DVD disc into a DVD player or a
home computer and select the setup section from the main menu.
Product overview
The CineMate 1 SR digital home theater speaker system takes the place of your
TV's built-in speakers. This is done by connecting your TV's audio output to the TV
audio input (13/Input) on the CineMate system (see figure below). In addition to the
connection from the TV, you can also connect up to two audio/video devices (sources)
directly to the CineMate system's auxiliary inputs (AUX) to assure the best possible
sound quality from these sources.

AUX input connections
The AUX digital audio connections do not take the place of the audio connections from
a source to the TV.
• You will still need to ensure that all sources have both a video and an audio connection
to your TV, and that the audio output of your TV is connected to the TV Input on the
CineMate system.
• While a source is playing the CineMate system will continuously compare the AUX
input audio stream with the "rv Input audio stream and automatically select the
highest-quality audio stream available.

WELCOME
Source connections to your TV
Please be sure that all your sources, such as a cable/satellite set-top box or a DVD
player, have both a video and an audio connection to your TV.
• If you are connecting a source to your TV using an HDMITM cable, there is no need for
additional connections. The HDMI TM cable carries audio and video information.
• If you are connecting a source to your TV with something other than an HDMI cable,
such as a yellow composite video cable, you will need to make an analog audio
connection to your TV in order to hear the sound from that source on your CineMate
system. Analog audio cables are readily available at electronics stores. Please consult
your TV owner's manual for more information on connecting sources to it.
Unpacking
As you carefully unpack the carton, if any part appears damaged, do not attempt to
use it. Notify Bose or your authorized Bose dealer immediately. For Bose contact
information, refer to the address sheet included in the carton.
