System Installation Instructions  
Placing your speakers  
When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reected  
and direct sound provides the audio atmosphere of a home theater. You may experiment with  
the placement and orientation of the speakers to produce the sound most pleasing to you.  
CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your speakers. Vibration can cause the  
speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished  
wood. If you are placing the center speaker on top of the television, attach the rubber feet  
provided to the bottom of the speaker. You may obtain additional rubber feet by contacting  
Bose® customer service. Refer to the Bose address list included with your system.  
Note: Do not place a cube speaker on its side, as this diminishes performance.  
Left and right front speaker placement  
To best match sound and picture, the left and right front speakers should be placed at the  
edge of the TV picture (Figure 3).  
Place the speakers up to 3 feet (1 m) from the edge of the TV screen and line them up with  
the center of the TV screen.  
2
Bose recommends a maximum distance of 3 feet (1 m) from the edge of the TV screen so  
that the sound does not become too separated from the picture. You may wish to vary this  
distance based on room conditions and personal preference. The front cables allow the  
cube speakers to be placed up to 20 feet (6.1 m) from the Acoustimass® module.  
Direct one cube of each speaker array forward. Direct the other cube toward the wall or in a  
different direction to create reected sound. See the illustration of reected sound patterns  
in Figure 4 on page 8.

Center speaker placement  
The sound from the center speaker should appear to come directly from the center of the pic-  
ture. The center speaker cable allows up to 20 feet (6.1 m) distance from the Acoustimass  
module.  
1. Place the center speaker directly above or below the center of the TV screen, or at the  
closest convenient location.  
Note: If it will sit directly on the TV, be sure to attach the protective rubber feet to the bottom  
of the center speaker.  
2. Align the speaker with the front of the TV screen (not pushed to the back of the TV).  
3. Direct each of the cubes slightly away from center, to create a wider area of direct sound.  
Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place them at the front edge of  
the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the sound.  
Surround speaker placement  
The rear surround speakers create an area of sound around the listener. Place them in the back  
half of your room. Direct the cubes slightly away from the listeners so that you cannot pinpoint the  
exact location of the sound source. The surround cables allow up to 50 feet (15.2 m) distance  
from the Acoustimass module.  
1. Place the speakers at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible.  
2. Adjust the rear surround speakers to direct the sound to the front and back of the listener.

System Installation Instructions  
Acoustimass® module placement  
Note: Now is a good time to find the serial number on the bottom of the module, before you  
proceed. Copy that number onto your warranty card and in the space provided on page 2 of  
this guide.  
Follow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module:  
Place the Acoustimass module along the same wall as the TV, or close to the same end of  
the room as the front speakers (see Figure 4).  
Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least  
18 inches (45 cm) from the TV.  
Place the Acoustimass module so that the grille with the Bose® emblem faces into the room  
or along the wall to avoid blocking the sound output or creating too much bass.  
For best bass performance, DO NOT place the Acoustimass module at equal distances  
from any two walls or from a wall and the ceiling.  
For convenience, you may want to slide the Acoustimass module under a table or behind a  
cabinet. However, DO NOT allow furniture or drapes to block the ventilation openings of the  
module.  
Place the Acoustimass module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and  
an AC power (mains) outlet.  
Place the Acoustimass module on the oor on its long edge or lay it down on its largest  
side. DO NOT stand it on either end. See Figure 5.

the front grille. The  
weight of the module  
can damage the grille.  
Once you have selected a position for the module, place the four self-adhesive rubber feet  
near the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased stability and pro-  
tection from scratches.  
CAUTION: DO NOT cover the ventilation openings of the Acoustimass module. The slots on  
the end provide ventilation for the built-in electronic circuitry, and should not be blocked.  
CAUTION: The magnetic field from the Acoustimass module is not an immediate risk to your  
video tapes, audio tapes, and other magnetic media. However, you should not store tapes  
directly on or near the Acoustimass module.

System Installation Instructions  
Placing your media center  
Note: Now is a good time to find the serial number on the bottom of the media center, before  
you proceed. Copy that number onto your warranty card and in the space provided on  
page 2 of this guide.  
Select a location for the media center, keeping in mind the following guidelines:  
Do not block the front of the media center. Make sure you allow enough room to lift up the  
front cover and open the CD tray of the CD/DVD player. Also, position the media center so  
that you can clearly view the display window to the right of the CD tray cover. See Figure 6  
for a description of the front of the media center.  
Place the media center close enough to other sound sources (TV and VCR) to allow for easy  
cable connections. If you need additional audio and/or video cables to connect all of your  
components, see your dealer or call Bose® customer service. Refer to the Bose address list  
included with your system.  
Place the media center within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustimass® module (the length of the  
audio input cable).  
Note: For convenience, until your system is completely installed and tested, keep the media  
center where you have easy access to its rear connection panel.

System Installation Instructions  
Connecting the speakers to the Acoustimass® module  
Note: Before you start making system connections, make sure that the media center, the  
Acoustimass module, and any additional equipment are not connected to AC power.  
The ve dual-cube speakers that come with your system will either have a two-wire cable  
connector (Figure 7) or a plug-in cable connector (Figure 8 on page 12). Identify your type of  
speaker and then follow the corresponding instructions.  
Note: To lengthen the speaker cables, use heavy-duty RCA extension cables, or splice in 18-  
gauge or thicker cord (connecting + to + and – to –). To purchase extension cables, see your  
dealer or electronics store, or call Bose® customer service. Refer to the Bose address list  
included with your system.  
Making a two-wire speaker connection  
In a two-wire connection (Figure 7), the wire marked with a red collar is positive (+) and the  
plain one is negative (). These wires match the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals  
on the back of each speaker.  
Note: The surround speaker cables are joined together for your convenience, providing an  
easy-to-use cable for connecting the surround speakers. To run the cables in different direc-  
tions from the Acoustimass module, simply pull apart the cables as needed.
