Before

begin

Your

Bose®

201

®SeriesIVDirecVReflecting@ speakers are designed to create a listening

experience that

is

very similar to a live concert. There are

two

basic ways to place your

speakers

in

a room.

Try

both and let your personal taste determine which is best.

The first way takes advantage

of

Stereo

Targeting®

technology, with the tweeters firing

inward to create

an

intimateorfocused sound pattern (Figure1,position

1).

This may be the

best choice for use with a video system, or if your room lacks one or more reflecting walls.
The second way allows the tweeters to fire outward to disperse a wider, more spacious

sound (Figure

1,

position

2).

You

may find this best for music recordedinlive settings.

Your

201

SeriesIVspeakers are significantly different from conventional ones, so be sure

to
read this owner's guide. It will help you set up and use your speakers properly, for the
greatest enjoyment.

Unpack

the

carton

Carefully unpack the carton and save

all

packing materials for possible future use. Check

the carton contents (Figure

2).

Now is a good timetorecord the speaker serial numbers on

page 2

of

this guide and on your warranty card.

Do

not use your speakers if either appears damaged. Instead, repack both speakersinthe

original carton and notify your authorized Bose dealer immediately.
