  If your Bose Home Theater System produces no sound, ensure the Acoustimass module is plugged into a working AC outlet. Increase the volume and check that the system isn't muted by pressing the Mute button. Verify the input connections on the control console and select the correct source. Also, check the audio input cable connection to both the control console and the Acoustimass module. Ensure the front and rear speakers are correctly connected to the Acoustimass module. If using radio, connect the FM and AM antennas. As a last resort, reset the system.

  If you're not getting any sound from a connected device on your Bose Home Theater System, start by checking all the connections. If you're using a coaxial or optical audio connection, ensure you haven't connected both types to the same input on the control console. Verify the device is turned on and consult its owner’s manual for troubleshooting.

  If you're not getting sound from the rear speakers on your Bose Home Theater System, ensure the Speakers option is set to Surround(5) in the OPTIONS menu. Increase the Rear Speakers setting in the OPTIONS menu for the current source. Make sure the video sound source is stereo-encoded or surround-encoded, and that the device used (DVD, VCR, DVR, etc.) is set to stereo. For stereo inputs, confirm the Sound option is set to Recommended or Alternative.
