I purchased this product because of the BOSE reputation. I have other BOSE product that I have been very satisfied with. I did find the price to be a little rich for a three speaker system. What drove me to purchase the CineMate was that it was compact and very easy to set up. Just to be on the safe side, I read the instructions and viewed the included video. I made sure to connect and set up the TV as instructed. The TV speakers were off and audio output fixed. What stood out the most was very poor base repose. There is no way to adjust any level of base or treble. I switched the TV speakers back on and turned off the CineMate system and found my Sony Bravia TV speakers to be better than the BOSE. I sent them back.

Cinemate is a good TV exention speaker system. I realize in many ways this is poor praise for such an excellent system which is a supplement to a TV speaker. I am not your normally,"what, What?" deaf guy. I seem to miss some key words and find at times I am hard of hearing. I have many "normal ears" sitting in the room and never have to turn up the volume. So this system is a blessing. I did not seek exceptional reproduction of TV but to listen normally and not miss the blurred sounds.All of the above said, I spent years walking the electronic stores looking for a sound system that said - "made to get best sound from your TV". It does the job. Bose is a great telephone information and help company. They actually hold your telphonic hand.

I must admit that I am a Bose fan. I have a Bose 321, in ear headphones, radio, speakers in my SUV and just recently the Cinemate system. The Bose Cinemate theater speaker system is a must have if you want to upgrade the sound of your TV,DVD and or VCR output. There is ease of setup and operation with sound worthy of comfort in any small room. I have mine hooked up in my bedroom. I have not heard complaints from my neighbors as yet, but I've noticed that my wife has bugun to crank up the volume as well. Once the system is set up there is nothing to do but to turn it on and off as desired. The television speakers are turned off during setup, so your equalizer settings of your TV provide the desired Bass and treble. I have had to reduce the base and volume settings while listening to some CDs, but other than that I just turn it on as needed. An interesting feature is the universal nature of the remote when correctly setup. One can control other devices with the Cinemate remote. Pick one up and be prepared for a pretty lively room.

I like that it plugs directly into the TV with no need for a reciever. It was super-easy to set up, too. The hardest part was just getting it out of the box (and that was easy!). Anyway, the sound quality is nice and a huge jump from the regular TV sound--which its a DLP and the sound is okay, but this just gives it a much nicer quality. Also, for the price you can't beat it, considering it's a Bose. We also have the 7-speaker system and although the sound is better on that, you're not paying a few grande for this set. I totally recommend this for those who don't have the money to chunk down on a bigger set, or for those (like us) who don't have a good floor-plan for running surround sound in this room.

Bose sales told me this system was compatiable with digatal optical audio out on my plazma TV, (NOT), this is strickly analog out. Also if your souce is mono, there is no way to set the Bose controller to simulate stereo, you will get sound from one speaker side only, depending how you hook up output L or R. The sound is great but this is alot of money for the sound system functionality. The remote that comes with it is Good.

My wife purchased the Bose® CineMate(tm) digital home theater speaker system for me for Christmas. We custom built a home theater in our new home, 62" HD flat screen, Sony ES components, in-wall speakers; so I feel I know what a good system should sound like. The CineMate was not a replacement for this type of system; but my wife purchased this system for our bedroom. I had purchased a 32" HD Sharp Aquos for our bedroom earlier in the fall. The CineMate is the perfect unit to add theater sound to an office, bedroom, or apartment where a larger, more powerful system is not realistic due to space or sound output requirements.The CineMate is simple and straight forward to setup. As with any system, location of the speakers is important. Locate the small 'front' speakers to the sides of the TV screen, the subwoofer placement is not critical (more later), but because the amplifer and audio connections are located in the subwoofer, it must be placed fairly close to the TV unless you use longer cables from the audio out of the TV and then you are still limited by the length of the speaker cables which have custom connectors molded on.The front speakers provide sharp, accurate sound, the bass is good without being over powering. No, you aren't going to feel the bass in your 'gut', but then this system was never intended to do so. Several reviewers were disappointed with the bass response; even though sub's are non-directional, their output can be influenced by several factors within the listening area. Try turning the sub unit, sliding it further way from a wall or closer to it.Pros:Easy to set up - approx: 20 minutesSmall footprint of front speakers (spouses tend to like this)Easy to use and program remote controlAdequate bass for smaller rooms, lower volumesCons:No control of amplifer output, other than overall volumeNo digital audio inputMust follow Bose recommendations - mute TV speakers, raise TV volume to about 80% of max outputPricey - after all it is a Bose $$$I am very pleased with this unit, this would definitely be a great addition to your home office, bedroom or apartment.
