Check the length of the audio and video cables you will use for these additional components. Note: Additional cables are available from your local Bose® dealer. Or, to contact Bose directly, refer to the address list provided in the carton. If you prefer, you can order cables from our website: www.bose.com. · Do not block the front of the media center. Allow enough room to lift up the front cover and open the CD/DVD tray. Also, be sure you have a clear view of the display window on the front of the media center (Figure 3). · Place the media center within 30 feet (9.1 meters) of the Acoustimass® module ! (the length of the audio input cable). Note: For convenience, until your system is completely installed, you may wish to keep the media center positioned for easy access to its rear connection panel. Figure 3 Front features of the media center Front door ­ Make sure you allow enough room to lift this door. Display window ­ Make sure you can see this information while using your system. ! Disc tray ­ Make sure nothing blocks ! this CD/DVD tray as it slides open. IR emitter ­ Make sure nothing impedes it from sending signals to other components in the room. Placing the five cube speakers around your room When you place your speakers according to the guidelines that follow, they provide the audio atmosphere of a home theater. If you like, experiment with the placement and orientation of the speakers to produce the sound most pleasing to you. Bose offers a variety 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 address list provided in the carton. CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for each speaker. Vibration can cause speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. 8 English Deutsch Español Dansk Français Deutsch Italiano Nederlands Español Français Svenska Italiano Nederlands Svenska SYSTEM PLACEMENT Deciding where you want the center speaker The center speaker sound should seem to come directly from the center of the picture. The provided cable allows it to be up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) from the Acoustimass® module. 1. 2. Place the center speaker in an upright position, directly above or below the center of the TV screen or as close to that as possible. Align the front of the speaker with the front edge of the TV screen. SYSTEM PLACEMENT CAUTION: Attach the supplied rubber feet (or pad) to its bottom surface before placing a center speaker on top of your TV. This provides stability and prevents shifting from vibration.To obtain additional rubber feet, contact Bose® Customer Service. Refer to the Bose address list included with your system. Arranging the left and right front speakers Place one speaker to the left and one to the right of the TV (Figure 4). · Keep each speaker within 3 feet (1 meter) of the TV screen to prevent too much separation of the sound from the picture. Vary this distance to suit your room conditions and personal preference. · If any front speakers will be in a bookcase 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. · Place the speakers up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) from the Acoustimass module, which is the length of the front speaker cables. · Rotate the top cube of each speaker array (or the single cube) toward the wall or ! another hard surface to create reflected sound. For a view of this effect, refer to Figure 5 on page 10. Figure 4 Recommended speaker locations Center Left front Right front Left rear Right rear 9 Svenska Nederlands Italiano Français Svenska Nederlands Español Français Deutsch Italiano Deutsch Español Dansk English SYSTEM PLACEMENT Positions for the two rear speakers SYSTEM PLACEMENT The placement goal for rear surround speakers is to create an area of sound around the listener. By locating them in the back half of your room and directing the cubes away from the listeners, you prevent them from pinpointing the exact location of the sound source, which is ideal. The surround speaker cables allow for up to 50 feet (15.2 meters) from the Acoustimass® module. 1. 2. Place the speakers at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible. The longer the path from speakers to ears, the better. Adjust one cube of each speaker to reflect sound off one or more surfaces. Choosing a location for the Acoustimass! module While choosing the best place in your room (Figure 4 on page 9), try to keep the module: · Along the same wall as the TV or at the same end of the room as the front speakers. · Within the reach of: · The media center, using the 30-ft (9.1 m) audio input cable. · The front and center speakers, using the three 20-ft (6.1 m) speaker cables, and ! the two rear speakers using the 50-ft (15 m) speaker cables. · An AC power (mains) outlet. · At least 18 inches (45 centimeters) from the TV to avoid magnetically interfering with the TV image. Move it farther away if you still notice interference. · Positioned with its grille (with a Bose® logo) facing into the room or perpendicular to the closest wall. This prevents the wall from blocking sound output or boosting the bass. · Off-center between two walls or between a floor and ceiling. · Set on its side, top, or bottom, but NOT standing on either end (Figure 5). CAUTION: Do not block the ventilation slots on the module. Figure 5 Proper and improper positioning of an Acoustimass module Top surface Side surface Front end Ventilation openings Back end Ventilation openings BEST ALTERNATE For best ventilation, Place the module stand the module on on one of its two its bottom surface, broad sides. as shown, left. DO NOT stand the module on its slightly curved back end, which can cause it to tip over. DO NOT stand the module on its front grille end. The weight of the module can damage the grille. · Under a table or behind a cabinet, for convenience. However, not where furniture or drapes block any openings on the module. · With four self-adhesive rubber feet attached to the surface that touches the floor, for added stability and protection from scratches. · Where it will not expose electronic media like tapes to its magnetic field for long periods. 10 English Deutsch Español Dansk Français Deutsch Italiano Nederlands Español Français Svenska Italiano Nederlands Svenska SYSTEM PLACEMENT Hearing the results of proper placement Placing your speakers properly is the first step to getting the full, rich, Bose® quality sound this system is designed to provide (Figure 6).
