Deciding Where You Want The Center Speaker; Arranging The Left And Right Front Speakers - Bose LIFESTYLE DVD Operating Manual

SVSTEMPLACEMENT
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. 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 the speaker with the front edge of the TV screen.
A
CAUTION: Attach the supplied rubber feet (or pad) to its bottom sut1ace 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.
