Before you begin
We appreciate your cl10ice of the Bose® Acoustimass® 6 Series Iii or Acoustimass 10 Series III
flOme entertainment speaker system.
Bose Virtually !nvisible® speaker tecl1nology allows you to enjoy lifelike home performances
from the very latest surround-sound encoded movies, CDs, and television shows, without a
room full of speakers. The cube speakers, along with the powered Acoustimass module,
reproduce the full-spectrum of sound from multi-channel digital programming. Integrated Sig-
nal Processing assures full bass performance from all cl1annels, at audible listening levels,
regardless of your receiver settings.
Your stereo VCR, stereo television, or DVD player sends tile encoded program materia! to the
surround-sound receiver, which interprets and distributes the information to the powered
Acoustimass module. The module delivers the bass for all channels and sends appropriate
sounds to each cube speaker. The sound mix varies with different program types: dialogue is
usually sent to the center cube speaker, a visual soundstage is created by the left and right
front cube speakers, and you feel as if you are in the center of the action because sounds and
special effects are directed to the rear cube speakers. At a given point in a surround-sound
performance, you may hear sound from one, a few, or all of the cube speakers.
To select surround-encoded program material, look for the terms Surround, Dolby Surround,
the double-D symbol
