System Installation

Getting started

After unpacking your new system, save all packing materials. The original packing materials provide the safest way to transport your system if necessary. If any part of your system is missing or appears damaged, contact your authorized Bose^® dealer immediately, or contact Bose directly.

The instructions in this section tell you how to connect your system as shown in Figure 1. For alternate system connections, see the Reference section.

Note: You should not connect the video output of your Lifestyle^® system to a VCR, since playing copy-protected DVDs may result in poor picture quality.

Figure 1 System connection diagram System connection diagram

Cables and accessories

The following accessories are included with your system.

Figure 2 Accessories included with your system

Placing your speakers

When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reflected 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.

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, use the smaller of the two sets of rubber feet provided. You may obtain additional rubber feet (part number 178327) by contacting Bose® Customer Service.

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).

Figure 3 Recommended speaker locations

• 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.
  Bose recommends ä 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 reflected sound. See the illustration of reflected sound patterns in Figure 4.
  
  Figure 4 Speaker placement and reflection rays

Center speaker placement

The sound from the center speaker should appear to come directly from the center of the picture. The center speaker cable allows up to 20 feet (6.1 m) distance from the Acoustimase module.

1. Place the center speaker directly above or below the center of the TV screen, or at the closest convenient location.
2. Align the speaker with the front of the 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.

Acoustimass^® module placement

Follow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module:

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 along the same wall as the TV, or close to the same end of the room as the front speakers (see Figure 4).
• 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 sofa. 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 floor on its long edge or lay it down on its largest side. DO NOT stand it on either end. See figures below:

BEST

For proper ventilation, place it on the long edge, with connectors facing the floor.

ALTERNATE

Place it on its largest side. This may allow you to slide it under a chair or sofa.

DO NOT

stand the module on the back end. This surface is slightly curved and the slightly curved and the module may tip over.

DO NOT

stand the module on the front grille. The weight of the module can damage the grille.

Figure 5 Right and wrong placements for the Acoustimass module

• 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 protection from scratches.

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.

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.

Placing your media center

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 (W 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.
• Place the media center within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustimass^® module (the length of the audio input cable).
