User questions & answers

Question:	I care most about dialogue clarity. What is the dialogue setting? Is it a central channel
Answer:	I got the sound bar because our old sound bar had bad voice clarity. It acts similar to a central channel. Really depends on movie or channel you are watching. I find it works great on some shows/movies and just ok on others.
Question:	A 56 inch tv and blu ray player, how can i make this speaker work for both of them and will i need additional connections
Answer:	Hello Sekou, the Solo 5 is designed to play audio from any sources connected to your television. You can leave your Blu-ray player connected to the TV and it will play right through our system. Have a great day!
Question:	Bose solo 5 or Bose solo
Answer:	Hello Cindy,This listing would be for the Solo 5 TV Sound System. The Solo 5 would feature 2x 2¼" drivers, as compared to the Solo 15 II which features 5x 2¼" drivers. The Solo 15 II would also allow you to rest a TV on top of the soundbar (if it is not over the maximum weight), as compared to the Solo 5 which would typically sit right in front of the TV or mounted on the wall.Thank you
Question:	Can this hook up to a subwoofer
Answer:	I like most of Bose products but this soundbar is just ok. If you don't have the space or want a soundbar with a separate subwoofer I strongly suggest you go to Walmart and get the 36" vizio soundbar they have with its own twin built in 3 1/2" subw oofers for 98 dollars. It sounds amazing with excellent bass, rich clear vocals, and detailed highs. It also has virtual surround sound. It cool looking and sounds much better than this one. Another reviewer said it compared to his 400 dollar sonos beam soundbar. Yamaha also makes a similar excellent soundbar for 150 to 200 dollars.

Flexible placement

The soundbar is so versatile you can position the soundbar wherever you choose—be that by the TV on a shelf or even mounted directly on the wall using the optional WB-120 wall mount.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you hook a cd changer threw the system
Answer:	Dennis, There are two methods to hook up devices. The best would be the Optical input. From your TV or other device you use a TosLink Optical Cable. The second option would be the standard Red/White (L/R) audio cable that almost all stereo equipment has. So Yes, you can hook up a CD changer directly to the Bose CineMate GS Series II system as long as it has one of those two outputs.
Question:	Does anybody know if the remote runs a Direct TV Genie? I really don't like the idea of having to use 2 remotes. Thanks
Answer:	Yes, it replaces your Direct TV remote. Hence there's no need for a second remote. Also, the remote's universal and is able to control almost all TV and Direct TV functions. Make sure you use optical cable connection to your TV for best performance. Installation is relatively easy.
Question:	How does it compaire to the newer model CineMate
Answer:	The main difference is the speakers that come with it. The Cinemate GS Series II comes with a distinct left and right speaker, while the Cinemate 15 comes with a single sound bar style speaker. It depends on what type of set you want and if you want to use brackets, etc. Also, the Cinemate GS Series II comes with a separate inferface module cable to make the connection to the external devices. The CInemate 15 has the inputs on the back of the Soundbar speaker itself, so the setup is a little cleaner (less wires). Sound quality would be similar in both systems, although you may get a little more stereo separation in the CInemate GS Series II, due to the two distinct speakers.
Question:	Are the speakers connected with wire or wireless
Answer:	Hell Don, and thank you for the inquiry. The Cinemate GS Series II is a wired speaker system. There is a wire that runs from the output of the large bass module to the two small speakers. There is also a power cord on the bass module. The small audio input interface module also connects to the bass module via a wired connection. The external source (optical output on the tv typically) also connects via an optical cable to the optical input on the small interface module.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you use the Bose 535 using fiber optic cable or coax cable from the tv to the bose or vice versa? Will quality cable make a differnce

Question:	how long it will take for shipping usually
Answer:	We ship the next business day unless payment is received before 12pm et we ship same day
Question:	are the speakers wireless
Answer:	Hi Chris, The speakers are not wireless. In order to NOT compromise on the sound quality and psychoacoustics, none of the BOSE home theater systems or speakers are wireless. It is well known that wireless technology required to deliver the same performance as wired speakers does not exist yet. The modules and transmitters are getting better everyday but are far from delivering equal or better performance compared to their wired counterparts. That being said, there are third party products that can add wireless capability to the rear speaker. There is a company called RocketFish for example that a lot of people mention. Good Luck.

Question:	what is the name of the peace to by with the system in order to have 2 zone operation
Answer:	I'm not sure that this will meet your requirements. It only has 1 hdmi port.

Using the standard settings, it is very good for well-lit rooms.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many hdmi cables do I need to buy to hook up to TV and the bar and subwoofer
Answer:	0. It does not have any HDMI connectors. You will need an Optical Cable to connect tge bar to your TV. The Subwoofer is wireless, so no cables are required apart from power cable which comes with the package.
Question:	My subwoofer speaker goes in and out. Can I buy another subwoofer only
Answer:	** connection problems - Bluetooth signal between sound bar and sub can be disrupted VERY VERY easily if located too close to your Wi-Fi router or possibly a cell phone booster connected to WiFi in your home. Move at least 8 feet away from each other or more. This usually fixes the problem. Ps. I believe The sub is only paired with the original sound bar. You can’t mix or match subwoofers. Tried swapping mine out one time and they wouldn’t work. Then realized I swapped out the subs. I have two of these systems. One in my living room and one in my bedroom. Love them. Will not be disappointed! One of the best bang for the buck! Especially now that you can get them it’s such a discounted price.
Question:	Is there a headphone jack for private listening
Answer:	No, there isn't a dedicated headphone jack on this speaker bar, I did not check the subwoofer, but I doubt if it will have one. There is a jack for ADAPTiQ on side of the bar, which looks like a 3.5mm headphone jack, but I believe it does not work like one.
Question:	Do you need to have a wifi router to connect the sound bar with the subwoofer or the soundbar has its own communication link
Answer:	No wifi router is necessary. Great sound
