INSTALLATION

Placing the media center and display

The media center can be placed out of sight behind all of your other A/V components. When placing the media center, ensure that it is close enough to other sources (TV, DVD, 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.

CAUTION: Do not block the ventilation openings on either side of the media center. Allow at least two inches on each side.

Place the display module so it is facing out into the room, toward the front of the surface on which it rests, as shown in Figure 7. Allow about two inches of clearance on either side of the display module. Make sure you can clearly see the display module from your listening position.

Bose offers a variety of speaker mounting accessories, including rubber feet, stands, and wall brackets. For more information, or to purchase accessories, contact your local Bose® dealer or visit www.Bose.com. To contact Bose directly, refer to the address list provided in the carton.

Rotate the top cube of each speaker array toward the wall or another hard surface to create reflected sound.

Placing the cube speakers

Figure 8 Approximate speaker locations

When you place your speakers approximately as shown in Figure 8 on page 11, they provide the audio atmosphere of a home theater. You can experiment with speaker placement and orientation to produce the most pleasing sound.

CAUTION: Select a stable and level surface for all speakers. Vibration can cause speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces such as marble, glass, or highly polished wood. To reduce the possibility of movement, Bose recommends that you attach the included rubber speaker feet to the bottom of the speakers.

Note: If, after running the ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system, you move one or more speakers to a substantially different location, you should re-run the ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system.

Rotate the top cube toward a wall or other hard surface.

Placing the center speaker

Place the center speaker directly above or below the vertical center of the TV screen or as close to that as possible (see Figure 8).

If you are placing the center speaker directly on the top of your TV, first attach the supplied rubber feet to the bottom surface of the speaker.

Make sure the 20-foot (6.1-meter) speaker cable can reach from the center speaker to the Acoustimass® module.

Placing the rear speakers

Position the rear left and right speakers in the back half of your room.

Make sure each 50-foot (15.2-meter) speaker cable can reach from the speaker to the Acoustimass module.

Place the speakers at ear height or higher if possible.

Direct the sound away from the listening positions to maximize the reflected sound.

Placing the front left and right speakers

Set or mount the front left and right speakers upright and lined up with the horizontal center of the TV screen.

We recommend a maximum distance of 3 feet (1 meter) from the edge of your TV screen for best results.

Make sure each 20-foot (6.1-meter) speaker cable can reach from the speaker to the Acoustimass module.

INSTALLATION

Connecting the audio from your TV

You may want to connect a source component, such as a camcorder or game console, directly to your TV. To play the audio from that source through your Lifestyle® system, you must connect the audio coming out of the TV to the Lifestyle® system.

If your TV does not have an audio output, you can still hear the sound of a connected component through the speakers built into the TV. However, at any other time, it is best to keep the volume of your TV turned all the way down for a better surround sound experience.

To connect your TV audio to the Lifestyle® system:

For a basic analog audio connection, use the supplied stereo audio cable (with two RCA connectors at each end, one red and one white). It connects to left (L) and right (R) audio outputs on the rear panel of your TV and to the (L and R) TV Audio IN jacks on the media center rear panel (see Figure 13).

If your TV provides a digital audio out connector, connect a digital audio cable. When making the digital audio connection, use either a single coaxial cable or an optical cable.

Do not disconnect the analog connection described above. The analog connection ensures consistent sound in the event of a weak digital signal.

If your TV provides both fixed (FIX) and variable (VAR) audio output jacks, use the fixed jacks for higher quality. Be sure to select Fixed in your TV setup menu.
