Question 1

how do you pair your bose television controller to your television

Accepted Answer

Bose television controller? Not quite sure of the question. The Bose Acoustimass 10 does not have a television controller and it does not connect directly to a television. The five Bose wall mount speakers connect to the powered Acoustimass module (subwoofer) and it is connected to an A/V receiver's audio output.  Then the receiver's video output connects to your television. So it's the A/V receiver controller (remote?) that pairs up with your television. How exactly that works depends on the brand and model of A/V receiver and television. The Bose system is controlled by the A/V receiver (volume, base, balance... all that). So the selection of the A/V receiver is pretty important to the performance of the Bose system. Mine is the Onkyo TX-NR414 and I'm really happy with it. The television performance is equally reliant on your A/V receiver. Now, again, the pairing of the audio and video control depends on the compatibility of the A/V receiver and television and not the Bose speaker system. So that is a question to ask of the A/V receiver and television manufacturers.  Good luck!

Question 2

I have an Onkyo TX-DS787, PS3, Panasonic HD-3D tv and a Blu-ray. $800 to spend Which Bose system do I buy?

Accepted Answer

I bought the Bose Acoustimass 10 Series IV Home Entertainment Speaker about 7 months ago. The cost was just under $1,000. The speakers are GREAT. Well worth the price! At the current price it is a great deal. I would not hesitate and buy these immediately!

Question 3

What's the length of the speaker wires? I'm just trying to figure out if the existing wire is good to setup in basement.

Accepted Answer

It comes with multiple cables. The recommended install is to run all speaker wires from your receiver to the subwoofer using the provided 20ft cable. Then from the subwoofer you get 20ft cables for each of the front speakers and 50ft cables for each of the rear speakers. Check out the owner's manual for more details http://worldwide.bose.com/productsupport/assets/pdf/guides/acoustimass/en/owg_en_am6_series3_am10_series4.pdf

Question 4

Can I connect these to an older Sony receiver?  My receiver has openings for wires, not adaptors.

Accepted Answer

A better question to ask, is why are you seriously considering buying a BOSE ("better sound through marketing") system when there a million other options that your old Sony receiver will power?
