Figure 1
System placement example
The information
in
this section shows you how
to
place your system
in
aroom
to
create a
home theater atmosphere (Figure
1).
You
should try
to
arrange your system as close
to
this
as possible.
Placing your speakers and Acoustimass® module properly is the first step
to
getting the full,
rich
Bose®
quality sound this system
is
designed
to
provide.
Righ!_
front
'R
Media
center
placement
Place the media center on aflat, stable surface. Until your system is completely installed, it's
agood idea to keep the media center positioned for easy access
to
its rear connection panel.
•
00
not block the front
of
the media center. Make sure you can see the display window
on the right side and allow enough room
to
lift up the front door and open the CO/DVD
tray.
•Make sure there is space within 6feet
(1
.8
m)
behind it
to
place the VS-2 video
enhancer.
•Make sure the audio cables from your sound sources (cable/satellite box,
OVR,
VCR,
or other) can reach the media center connection panel.
•Make sure the 30 ft
(9.1
m)
audio input cable can reach from the media center connec-
tion panel
to
the Acoustimass module.
VS-2 video
enhancer
You
can place the VS-2 video enhancer directly behind the media center or on the floor,
or mount it on awall. See "Mounting the VS-2 video enhancer" on page 34.
•Make sure the 6ft (1.8
m)
VS-2 cable can reach from the VS-2
to
the media center.
•Make sure video cables from your video sources (cable/satellite box,
OVR,
VCR,
or other) can reach the VS-2 connection panel.

Bose offers avariety
of
speaker mounting accessories, including stands and wall brackets.
For more information,
or
to
purchase accessories, contact your local
Bose®
dealer
or
visit
www.Bose.com.
To
contact Bose directly, refer
to
the contact list provided
in
the carton.
ACAUTION: Choose astable
and
level surface for each speaker. Vibration can cause speakers to
move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass,
or
highlypolished wood.
Front
center
speaker
Place the center speaker
in
an
upright position on astable and level surface directly above or
below the center
of
the TV screen
or
as close
to
that as possible.
•If possible, align the front
of
the speaker with the front edge
of
the TV screen.
•Make sure the 20 ft
(6.1
m)
front speaker cable can reach from the speaker
to
the
Acoustimass® module.
OR
•If you want
to
place the center speaker on the
top
of
your
TV,
you can attach the
supplied rubber feet (or pad)
to
the bottom
of
the speaker
to
protect the surface
of
your
TV.
Front
left
and
right
speakers
Place one speaker
to
the left and one
to
the right
of
the
TV.
•Keep each speaker within 3ft
(1
m)
of
the TV screen
to
prevent
too
much
separation
of
the sound from the picture. Vary this distance
to
suit your room condi-
tions and personal preference.
•If any front speakers will be
in
abookcase unit, be sure
to
position them at the front
edge
of
the shelf. Placing them farther back can change the tonal quality
of
the sound.
•Make sure the 20 ft
(6.1
m)
front speaker cables will reach from the speakers
to
the
Acoustimass module.
OR
•Rotate the
top
and bottom cube
of
each speaker array so that they point
in
different
directions and toward awall or other hard surface
to
create reflected sound. Refer
to
"Hearing the results
of
proper placement" on page 11.
Rear
left
and
right
speakers
Place the speakers at the back
of
the room at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible.
The longer the path from speakers
to
ears, the better.
•Aim the speakers away from the listeners
to
prevent them from pinpointing the exact
location
of
the sound source, which
is
ideal.
•Make sure the 50 ft (15.2
m)
rear speaker cables will reach from the speakers
to
the
Acoustimass module.
•Rotate the
top
and bottom cube
of
each speaker array so that they point
in
different
directions and toward awall or other hard surface
to
create reflected sound. Refer
to
"Hearing the results
of
proper placement" on page 11.

Acoustimass® module
placement
Place the module along the same wall as the
TV
or at the same end
of
the room as the front
speakers.
You
can place it under atable or behind acabinet, for convenience. However, do
not put it where furniture or drapes block any openings on the module.
•Set it on its side, top, or bottom, but NOT standing on either end (Figure
2).
•Point the front end of the module into the room or place the module perpendicular to
the closest wall. This prevents the wall from blocking sound output or boosting the
bass.
•
Do
not center the module between
two
walls or between afloor and ceiling.
•Keep the module at least 18
in
(45
cm) from the
TV
to
avoid magnetically interfering
with the
TV
image. Move it farther away if you still notice interference.
•Make sure the audio input cable and all speaker cables reach the connection panel
of
the module.
•Make sure the AC power cord can reach from the module
to
alive AC mains outlet.
•For stability and
to
protect bare floors, you can attach the four supplied self-adhesive
rubber feet
to
the bottom surface
of
the module.

Before you start, route the cables around your room.
To

You
may find it convenient
to
temporarily turn the module upside down while making these
connections. Then, be sure
to
place the module on its side or bottom surface when the
connections are completed.
ACAUTION: Before you make these connections,
be
sure that the media center
and
the
Acoustimass® module are
NOT
yet connected to an
AC
(mains)
power
outlet.
The RCA plugs on the free end
of
the speaker cables are colored
to
match the colored
speaker connectors on the Acoustimass connection panel. For acolor reference, you may
want
to
use the Quick Setup Guide provided
in
the carton.
