I wanted a bose surround sound system and I could not afford a new one. This system is awesome. The best part, other than the great sound, is the fact that there are no rear speakers to deal with. Thank you Bose. I highly recommend it.

I had never bought a refurb unit for a high-priced product, so was skeptical at first. But after I received the product and tested it, it was just like NEW. I've been using this for about a month without any problems what so ever. I highly recommend this.

I did a lot of research on Amazon and on other websites including the Bose website trying to be sure that the "CineMate digital home theater speakers system" would accept the optical output from my new flat screen TV. Well, this item only takes RCA inputs (analog!) and my TV only has optical output so I couldn't connect them together. It was a big disappointment.

I connected it to my DVD player's RCA outputs and the sound was awesome, but that didn't help when we watched TV, so I sent it back.

On an important positive note, the customer service at Bose was excellent and they returned my money promptly.

Now my problem is trying to convince myself to spend twice as much on the Cinemate II (almost as much as I spent on the TV) or more than double the money on the IIGS, both of which appear to accept the optical input from my TV.

I purchased this item to give us additional sound effects when watching movies. While there are other better and more sophisticated systems, this one works very well for our purposes. It was also easy to set up and install which was a plus for my husband. Bose was an excellent company to work with.

I have had this product for over a year and I am very pleased with the sound. It was easy to install and I have no complaints. The CineMate doesn't have many fancy features but I knew that before I purchased it as I didn't care about the extra features. I only wanted a good sounding product and this met my expectations. I recommend it to anyone looking for a surround sound without having speakers behind you. I'm not sure why some other folks gave this a poor rating as it made me nervous when I purchasing it. I am very happy with my purchase of teh Bose CineMate home speaker system.

This is nice, sounds nice. What I'd expect from Bose. However, was not easy to install to make work properly with our Blu Ray player. Maybe we should have questioned it more.
We have researched the hookup and got it to work for us with our equipment, and it is a huge improvement from what we had before. Would recommend.

It's a BOSE what more do I have to say. The name speaks more than my review. Factory Renued unit is like new! I can't tell a difference. Full warranty!

These speakers have great sound. They're also easy to set up and are a great improvement over our new television's speakers! Great warranty from Bose, too.

Installed this into the master bedroom. The quality is excellent, with excellent surround capability. Very pleased.
