Choosing the speaker cord
It is important to use the proper gauge (thickness) of speaker cord. Standard zip cord (2-con-
ductor, 18-gauge or .82 mm2wire or larger)
is recommended for most applications. You can
find this wire at most electrical and hardware stores.
If the length
of speaker wire extends more than 30 feet (9 m) from areceiver or amplifier, refer
to "Wire recommendations" on page 11 or contact your authorized Bose® dealer for more
information.
.) Note: If you require longer cable runs, or have speaker wire already installed in the wall, the
Bose
AC-7 adapter kit is available to accommodate this. The kit will also allow for the use of a
larger gauge speaker wire. Refer to the enclosed list for correct phone numbers to order
PN262061.
Running the speaker cord through awall or under afloor
Make sure you have enough cord to reach from the receiver to the left main speaker. The
Bose interconnect cable
is not intended for in-wall installation. For in-wall installation, check
your local building code requirements. Before proceeding, you may want to contact
an elec-
trical installer for information about your local building or safety regulations.
Preparing the speaker cord
Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is marked
(striped, collared, ribbed, or may have writing on it). This marked wire
is always positive (+).
The plain wire is always negative (-). These wires correspond to the red (+) and black (-) ter-
minals on the speaker, receiver, or amplifier.
.) Note: It is sometimes difficult to distinguish wire markings. Inspect both wires carefully
To prepare the ends of the cord, strip approximately 0/
8to
1'2-inch (12 mm) of insulation from
both wires. Then, twist the bare ends
of each wire so there are no loose strands of wire.
A. WARNING: Never use broken or frayed wiring, as damage or electrical shock may result.
Making the connections
Your 701 ®speaker system connects differently from conventional speaker systems. Both the
LEFT and RIGHT outputs from your receiver or amplifier must connect
to the left main 701
speaker. Please follow the connection instructions carefully to ensure proper performance.
Figure 5on page 7indicates how the speakers are connected
to the receiver.
Connecting to the receiver
Connect your speaker wire to the SPEAKERS Aor MAIN (front) left and right speaker outputs
on your amplifier or receiver. See your receiver owner's guide for any additional information or
instructions.
ACAUTION: Before making any connections, turn off your receiver and unplug it from the AC
power mains. Failure to do so may result in damage to your system.

Making the connections (cant.)
Figure 5
Wiring schematic
Left main speaker
Press down the terminal tab on the bottom of the left main speaker to insert the appropriate
wire (Figure
5).
1. Connect one cord to the left speaker output of your receiver or amplifier.
A. Insert the marked wire at one end to the red (+) terminal.
B. Insert the plain wire at that end to the black (-) terminal.
2. Connect the other end of the cord to the left (L) main speaker terminals (Figure 5).
A. Insert the marked wire into the red (+) terminal.
B. Insert the plain wire into the black (-) terminal.
3. Repeat steps 1and 2for the right (R) speaker connections.
)Note: The right speaker outputs are located on the left main speaker directly below the left
speaker outputs. They are labeled with an
R.
Connecting the right accessory speaker to the left main speaker
Use the supplied Bose® interconnect cable to make this connection. It is important to note
the connector at each end is designed to be inserted
in one orientation only. Match the
curved
top ofthe connector to the curved top ofthe jack on the rear connector cups.
ACAUTION: Never connect the right accessory speaker directly to areceiver output. Always
connect the right accessory speaker
to the left main speaker, then connect the left main
speaker
to the receiver.

Connecting the LFE sub woofer input
If your receiver or amplifier has aSubwoofer or Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel output,
use asingle RCA male to RCA male patch cord to make the connection. Connect the "LFEI
Subwoofer" input on the left main speaker to the LFE/subwoofer output
of your receiver or
amplifier (Figure
7). Refer to the LFE level control section on page 9.

,) Note: Now is a good time to record the serial numbers of these speakers on page 3 of this
guide
and on your warranty card.
Checking the connections
Check all the connections from the receiver to the left main speaker and from the left main
speaker
to the right accessory speaker. Make sure all the wires are connected in phase (+ to
+and -to -).
Correct any wiring problems before you plug
in your receiver or speakers and turn them on.
Plugging in the left main speaker
Once you have checked all the connections, insert one end of the supplied power cord to the
"Power" jack on the left main speaker. Insert the other end
of the power cord into an AC
power mains. Plug your receiver or amplifier back into the AC power mains. Then, turn on the
left main speaker power switch (Figure
8). Turning the power switch on puts the speakers in a
standby mode. Finally, turn on your receiver or amplifier
powet switch.
During normal use, the left main speaker power switch should be left on and the system
should be controlled through the receiver. However, ifthe speakers will not be used for
an
extended period of time, you should turn the left main speaker power switch off.
,) Note: The left main speakerpowerswitch must be turned on for the speakers to work prop-
erly Ifit
is not turned on, there will be no bass.

Setting your non-digital receiver
After making the connections, you may try additional surround sound modes that your
receiver may have. These modes may have different names depending on the manufacturer,
e.g. ACTION, MOVIE,
THEATER. Select the settings for music, movies, or both that sound
best
in your listening environment. See your receiver/amplifier owner's guide for additional
information on selecting settings.
ACAUTION: 701® speakers incorporate an automatic protection circuit, which guards against
mostkinds
of damage from electrical stress or overload. This circuit activates athigh volume
levels
to reduce output, causing aslight decrease in volume. You may also notice light com-
ing from inside the speaker cabinet.
This is normal operation and indicates that powerinput
may be exceeding safe levels. Sustained listening at these levels
is not recommended.
Setting your digital receiver
Your speakers are fully compatible with the output from most receivers containing digital
technology. The table below suggests the recommended settings. Because they are full-
ra)1ge speakers, select LARGE on the digital screen menu. Turn the subwoofer and the LFE
(low frequency effects) on. The preferred crossover setting should be 150 Hz.

Your left main speaker has two control knobs -one for bass control and one for LFE control.
Follow the instructions below for using these controls.
Bass control
The bass control, located on the outside of the left main speaker, can help you customize the
speakers to your listening room. Turning the control
to the right will add bass to the sound in
rooms that might be characterized as too shrill. Turning the control to the left will "brighten"
the sound
of the listening room. As with LFE control, you may find the factory setting to be
completely appropriate for your listening room.
LFE level control
The LFE control, located on the outside of your left main speaker, increases or decreases the
relative level
of low frequency effects on movie sound tracks. Use it to regulate the presence
of these underlying deep bass sounds. You may find it unnecessary to adjust this control. The
factory, or detent, setting
is appropriate for amajority of listening situations.
