There were no light on the machine after plug in.

After calling for support from Bose, they agreed to replace a new one, so I have returned it.

In the room I placed it in, the sound did not “surround” me as advertised. Be sure to check with Bose as to the room specifications before buying. The speakers sound good, but they are not what you expect. Good for a smaller room.

So, I was in the store one evening to buy a printer cartridge when I came across this Bose equipment. The display was set-up with three Bose units (V20, Cinemate II, and the 3, 2, 1 series). After listening to the V20 and 3, 2, 1 I found the Cinemate more than attractive…on the display. To be quite honest I was simply amazed at it’s sound quality. Man, I should have known better. Once I got it home I was terribly dissatisfied. It was a lot like seeing a movie that didn’t hold up to expectations. I currently have a Sony receiver, Blu-ray player and Apple Tv connected to a Panasonic plasma tv. The sound on my current system is great but I figured I would give the Bose a try. Within 10 minutes of taking it out of the box and connecting it…it was back in the box. During the installation, which was extremely easy and quick, I was listening to internet radio via the AppleTv and when I switch the optical cable from my Sony to the Bose and the volume, sound quality and the listening experience decreased noticeably. I thought it may have been due to the volume difference but even after turning the Bose system way up the enjoyment was still not there.

My disappointment came in that I was expecting to replace my current set-up with this new high speed-low drag sound equipment that was supposed to give me the home theatre experience with just two speakers and a sub. After all, that’s how it’s advertised, right? How nieve was I? It may be a good system if you’re in a small room or if it’s connected to your computer. But for a decent sized living room; stick to a full surround sound set-up.

I have a Samsung 8000 series LED TV, the picture of the TV is perfect, but the sound quality is very poor.

My first choice was to get a nice 5.1 surround sound system, but a decent one would cost me around $1,500, which was over the budget. The next choice was to get a sound bar, and that’s the time when the salesperson suggested I take a look at Bose Cinemate Series II, it was a little pricier, but the sound quality was alot better as well.

Setup was very easy, previous reviews were helpful, so push the optical cable a little harder till you hear the click, and don’t forget to remove the tip.

Sound quality is good as well, you can use it at all levels, and you’ll get the best of it when watching Blu Ray movies, however you do for some reason always expect to hear something from behind, and you never do.

Again, this is nowhere near the full surround sound system, just a decent pair of speakers that are better then most TV speakers, especially LED TV.
