FAQ
Q: Does the Bose SoundTouch 120 support 4k resolution?
A: The specs do not mention HDMI 2.0, which is required for 4k resolution. It is recommended to connect the 4k source directly to the TV, bypassing this Bose system.
Q: Can I watch TV without using this unit at times, or does it have to be on for simple TV watching?
A: Once you have connected all of your sources through the Bose system, you would need to have the Bose system on for audio or video from TV.
Q: How does the SoundTouch 120 compare to the Acoustimass® 6 Series V Home Theater Speaker System?
A: The Acoustimass 6 V system is a 5 speaker home theater system that you connect to a 3rd party receiver. The SoundTouch 120 is a sound bar system. If you are looking for a true home theater sound, the Acoustimass 6 V system is the way to go. The SoundTouch 120 system will definitely do a great job at reproducing a home theater sound though if you don't want the wires.
Q: What is the voltage of the Bose SoundTouch 120 Home Theater System? Can I order one with 230 volts?
A: The Bose SoundTouch 120 Home Theater System is a dual voltage system (100-240 V 50/60 Hz).
Q: Can I purchase only the control console for Bose CineMate 120?
A: It is not possible to buy only the control console.
Q: Can I listen to music via Bluetooth (iPhone) and have the TV on with this device?
A: There are ways to accomplish this based on how everything is hooked up together. To find the right solution based on your devices, it would be best to speak to Bose customer service by phone when you are home with the system.
