Placing Your Media Center - Bose Lifestyle 18 Series II Installation Manual

Figure 6
Right and wrong place-
ments for the Acoustimass
module

Placing your media center

• Put any side of the Acoustimass
DO NOT stand it on either end (Figure 6).
BEST
For best ventilation,
stand it on the narrow
side with the connectors
facing the floor.
ALTERNATE
Or, place it on one of
the two broad sides.
• 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: The magnetic field from the Acoustimass module is not a short-term risk to your
video tapes, audio tapes, and other magnetic media. However, you should not store tapes
directly on or near the Acoustimass module.
Note: If the serial number on the bottom of the media center is not already printed on your
Product Registration card, now is a good time to record it there and in the space provided on
page 3 of this guide.
Note: Sending in the product registration card, included with your system, is very important if
you want to receive software updates. Be sure to fill out the card and mail it to Bose.
Select a location for the media center, keeping in mind the following guidelines:
• 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 7).
• Place the media center close enough to other sound sources (TV and VCR) to allow for
easy cable connections. If you need additional audio or video cables to connect your com-
ponents, see your dealer or call Bose
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, you may wish to place the
media center where you have easy access to its rear connection panel.
