Some customer reviews of Bose CineMate GS

- Good points:
- The sound quality is awesome for a 2:1 set up, and the ease of actually setting it up is a delight. I have a Samsung TV, and a Humax PVR through which I receive and record the digital signal and, much to my relief, the BOSE universal remote handles both to a satisfactory extent. Just pop the codes in.
- Bad points:
- The accoustimass box is huge, and I mean huge. I have to have it at the rear of my TV due to room layout, and on the advice of a BOSE rep in the York outlet I have it directly behind the screen with no obvious interference. There is also a slight loss of functionality with the universal remote, but nothing to put me off buying. It is pricey, but the quality is worth it, even when watching ordinary TV and not films.

A hideaway Acoustimass® module provides the low frequency effects that make movies and games so compelling. It even includes dedicated bass control. Place the module in a corner or out of view—all the sound seems to come from the compact speakers. Together, the speakers and ACOUSTIMASS® module provide full depth and clarity for your music, too.
Simplified set up Setting up a CineMate® system is a quick exercise, with only a few wires to connect. It hooks up directly to your TV with minimal—if any—disruption to existing component connections. A small interface module houses your audio input from the TV and displays on/off status for your system.
