Placing the five cube speakers around your room

To select a location in your room for the media center, use the guidelines below:
• Place the media center close enough to other sound sources (TV, VCR, cable or satellite
box), to allow for easy cable connections. 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
refer to the address list provided in the carton.
• 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
(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.
Front door – Make sure you allow
enough room to lift this door.
Disc tray – Make sure nothing blocks
this CD/DVD tray as it slides open.
When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, 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.
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.

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 m) from the Acoustimass module.
1. 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.
2. Align the front of speaker with the front edge of the TV screen.
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.
CAUTION: To obtain additional rubber feet, contact Bose
address list included with your system.
