WELCOME
Thank you
Thank you for choosing a CineMate® 1 SR digital home theater speaker system for your 
home. It delivers supe rb acoustic performanc e in a stylish package that will greatly 
enhance your home theater experience.
Please 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 se tup section from the main menu.
Product overview
The CineMate 1 SR digital home theater  speaker system takes the place of your 
TVs built-in speakers. This is  done by connecting your TVs audio output to the TV 
audio input ( TV Input) on the CineMate system (see figu re 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 source s 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  TV Input audio stream and automatically select the 
highest-quality audio stream available.

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 HDMI™ cable, there is no need for  additional connections. The HDMI™ 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 ma ke 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 availa ble at electronics stores. Please consult 
your TV owner’s manual for more information on connecting sources to it.
Unpacking

use it. Notify Bose or your authorized Bo se dealer immediately. For Bose contact
