Setting Up

Before you begin

Bose® Virtually Invisible® speaker technology 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.

Your video sound source (stereo VCR, laserdisc or digital video player, or stereo television)
sends the encoded program material to the surround sound receiver, which interprets it by
distributing various sounds to particular speakers. Although the sound mix varies with
different types of programs, dialogue is usually sent to the center speaker while sounds
from the left or right side of the picture go to the left or right front speakers. Ambient sounds
and special effects are directed to one or both of the surround (rear) speakers. The unique,
easy-to-hide Acoustimass® module delivers bass for all channels. At any point in a surround
sound performance, you may hear sound from all or just a few of the speakers, but the
overall experience puts you in the center of the action.

To select surround-encoded program material, look for any of the terms Surround, Dolby
Surround, and the double-D symbol

word “surround” preceding a TV broadcast. Your Acoustimass-6 home theater speakers are
also compatible with Dolby Digital (AC-3) receivers and program material. The special
settings for Dolby Digital are described on page 14.

You can also enjoy a wide variety of stereo programming that is not surround-encoded with
your Acoustimass-6 speakers. Simply adjust your receiver as described on page 14.

*Dolby and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Setting Up

Placing your Acoustimass®-6 speakers to achieve
realistic home theater sound

The center speaker localizes action and dialogue on your screen. Sound from the center
speaker should seem to come from within the picture.

The left and right front speakers create a sound image wider than the screen that seems
natural to viewers sitting anywhere in the room.

The surround speakers add subtle sounds and special effects that expand the visual image,
bringing the viewer into the center of the action. The surround speakers should be posi­tioned to allow the sound to reach the viewer from both sides, rather than from directly
behind.

You can place the front and center speakers near a TV screen with no picture interference,
because all of the cube speakers are magnetically shielded.

The Acoustimass module is not magnetically shielded and should be at least 2 feet (60 cm)
from your screen, but at the same end of the room as the front and center speakers. Bose
Acoustimass speaker technology takes advantage of the fact that the source of bass sound
is difficult to locate, so you can hide the Acoustimass module conveniently out of sight.
Placing it near a corner increases bass output from the module.

A suggested home theater layout that conforms to the guidelines described above is shown
in Figure 2.

You may choose to place the speakers differently, to take advantage of the sound charac­teristics of different rooms. For instance, where walls are absent or the room is large, you
may prefer not to angle the left and right speakers as shown. You can experiment to find the
best position.

Your speakers come with sufficient cable lengths to allow you to have the following dis­tances between components:

• Up to 20 feet (6 m) between the Acoustimass module and the receiver.

• Up to 20 feet (6 m) between the Acoustimass module and the front and center cube
speakers.

• Up to 50 feet (15 m) between the Acoustimass module and the surround speakers.

The lengths of cable supplied with your Acoustimass®-6 system provide a great deal of
flexibility in speaker placement. Optional Bose® extension cable, add-on connectors, wall
brackets, and floor stands can add to your choices. See “Accessories” on page 17.

Setting Up

Left and right front cube speakers

Use the two cube speakers with black terminals that are marked L/R (Figure 3). There are
several ways to achieve an accurate left and right sound image (Figure 4).

• Place the front speakers on either side of your TV, at least 6 feet (2 m), or as much as 15
feet (5 m) apart.

• Place them in line with the center of the screen for the best sound balance (position 1).
Placing them in a line above the top of the TV is another choice (position 2).

• Aim the speakers inward for more accurate imaging or outward for a more spacious
effect. Adjust them according to your preference.

• The speaker on the left as you face the TV connects to the LEFT FRONT jack on the
Acoustimass module.

The remaining two speakers with gray terminals marked C/S are the surround speakers.
Their left and right rear channel sound should reach the viewer from both sides, rather than
from directly behind (Figure 7).

• Put one on the left and the other on the right, beside or just to the rear of the home

theater seating area.

• Position them so they do not create a direct sound path to the ears of the listeners

(position 1).

• Generally aim them away from the viewers, toward the rear or side walls (positions 2

or 3).

• If you want these speakers directly behind the seating area, make sure they are not

directed at the viewers.

• The rear speaker to your left as you face the TV connects to the LEFT SURROUND jack

on the Acoustimass® module.

Acoustimass® module

Bose® recommends putting your Acoustimass module at the same end of the room as the
television monitor. To prevent interference, keep the module at least 2 feet (60 cm) from the
television.

• You may hide the Acoustimass module behind or under furniture, but do not block the

opening. Be sure there is at least 2 inches (5 cm) between the opening and any surface.

• Placing the module close to a corner increases the bass output. Moving it toward the

center of the wall reduces the output.

• If the opening faces the wall, it further increases the bass. If it faces away, it decreases

the bass. For the most bass response, place the opening 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) from
a wall or corner.

• Stand the module vertically or horizontally (Figure 8). Attach the large set of rubber feet

to the bottom surface. If you plan to stand the module on the cable connection end,
do not use the module end cover, but be sure to attach the large rubber feet to protect
the connections.

The supplied cables make it easy for you to connect your system. Each cable connector is
colored gray or black and embossed with a letter to identify the cube speaker, the output, or
the input it matches. The connections at the Acoustimass® module are already made for you.
There are three sets of cables, joined together to form ribbons, which may be separated or
“unzipped” as needed to comfortably reach the speakers (Figure 9). Separate the cables as
you are laying out the cable lengths. However, you may want to keep the unextended length
of cable joined, making it easier to hide.

1. Connect all wires to the receiver in phase (+ to + and – to –).

a. Connect each wire marked with a red collar (+) to the appropriate red (+) output.

b. Connect each plain wire (–) to the appropriate black (–) output.

2. Match the label on the red collar of each wire pair to the SPEAKER OUTPUT label on
the receiver:

a. LEFT wires go to the LEFT FRONT SPEAKER OUTPUT connections.

b. CENTER wires go to the CENTER SPEAKER OUTPUT connections.

c. RIGHT wires go to the RIGHT FRONT SPEAKER OUTPUT connections.

d. LEFT SURROUND wires go to the LEFT SURROUND (rear) SPEAKER OUTPUT

connections.

e. RIGHT SURROUND wires go to the RIGHT SURROUND (rear) SPEAKER OUTPUT

connections.

3. At the Acoustimass module, check to make sure all connectors are firmly inserted into
the proper INPUT FROM RECEIVER OR AMPLIFIER jacks. Black connectors go into L
and R jacks. Gray connectors go into C, LS, and RS jacks.

CAUTION:

Attach the module end cover , if needed

The module end cover is designed to hide the cabling and extend the smooth, clean lines of
the Acoustimass® module. However, because the cover has a beveled surface, you cannot
stand the module on that end with the cover in place.

If you plan to use the cover, attach it to the cable end after all connections have been
checked (Figure 13). Gently push the end cover into the grommets on the Acoustimass
module.

Your set up is complete. Enjoy your Acoustimass-6 speaker system.

Using Y our Acoustimass®-6 Speakers

For realistic home theater sound

Each speaker produces only the sound directed to it by the steering logic in your surround
sound receiver. During a surround sound program, the front and center speakers will emit
sound almost constantly, while the surround speakers may be silent for periods of time.

How to set your Pro-Logic receiver

For use in video applications, be sure the SURROUND SOUND center mode setting of your

receiver is on NORMAL (Figure 14). You may press in the button labeled Loudness (Bass
Boost or Super Bass on some receivers) to see if you prefer that video sound.

Use the test tone on your receiver to further verify connections and to adjust the volume
level of the speakers.

T o use the test tone

1. Press test tone ON at the remote.

2. Listen and confirm that each speaker reproduces sound as the tone moves from speaker
to speaker in this order: LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT, SURROUND. One tone should come
from both SURROUND speakers at the same time.

3. Adjust the volume levels of the CENTER and SURROUND speakers to achieve the
balance you prefer for your listening area.

Instructions for this process vary, depending on the brand and model of receiver you are
using. Follow your receiver owner’s guide instructions for more details on using the test tone.

T o balance the bass and treble

Upholstered furniture, wall-to-wall carpets, or heavy drapes can muffle treble (high notes),
making your speaker system sound bass heavy. Bare floors and walls and hard surface
furniture can make your speaker system sound too shrill. After listening to your speakers,
you may want to adjust the balance of bass and treble. You can use the bass and treble
controls on your receiver.

Figure 14

A Dolby Pro-Logic receiver set for
NORMAL center mode

Suggestion for spacious stereo sound

Try setting your receiver to the PHANTOM surround mode while listening to music from a CD
or cassette tape. This will enable you to enjoy a wide stereo image reproduced by the front
speakers, plus the ambience and spaciousness provided by your surround speakers.

If your receiver has a Loudness button, turn that off during regular stereo playback.

How to set your Dolby Digital (AC-3) receiver

Your Acoustimass-6 speakers are compatible with the output from Dolby Digital (AC-3)
receivers. Take special care to set the channel output according to the specifications listed in
the chart below. The Acoustimass speaker system is a full-range system and must be set as
LARGE speakers on the Dolby Digital screen menu. An exception is the center speaker,
which must be set as SMALL. Turn the subwoofer OFF. Finally, turn the LFE (low-frequency
effects) ON and set the crossover frequency to 200 Hz.

Center ................................................................. SMALL

Left and Right Surround ..................................... LARGE

Subwoofer ............................................................. OFF

LFE (low-frequency effects) .................................... ON

Crossover frequency ........................................... 200 Hz

Follow the receiver owner’s guide instructions for using the receiver test tone to verify your
connections and to adjust the volume levels of the speakers.

Maintaining Y our Acoustimass®-6 Speakers

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem with your Acoustimass-6 speakers, turn off your sound source and try
the solutions below. If you still have a problem, contact your Bose® dealer to arrange for
service. Or, to contact Bose directly, refer to the inside back cover of this guide.

Problem What to do

System does not
function at all

No sound

No surround sound

Sound is distorted • Make sure speaker cable is not damaged.

• Make sure the power cord of the receiver is plugged into an
operating AC wall outlet and the receiver is turned on.

• Be sure to select a source at the receiver (video, CD, tuner).

• Check the cube speaker and Acoustimass module connections.
Turn ON receiver.

• Check connections of external components to the receiver.

• Increase the volume.

• Disconnect any headphones.

• If your surround sound receiver is Pro-Logic, be sure your
receiver is connected to a stereo sound source (TV, VCR,
laserdisc or DSS player) by an RCA stereo cable. If the receiver
is connected directly to a stereo television, make sure that all
other program sources (VCR, laserdisc or DSS player) are
connected to the TV using RCA stereo cable as well.

• If your surround sound receiver is Dolby Digital (AC-3), be sure
the sound source (DSS, laser disc or DVD player) is connected
directly to your receiver as described in your receiver owner’s
guide.

• Reduce the volume of any external components connected to

the receiver.

No bass

Not enough or too
much bass

• Make sure the speaker connections at the receiver or amplifier
are correct (+ to + and – to –).

• If you are using the Dolby Pro-Logic mode, make sure surround
sound is turned ON.

• If you are using Dolby Digital (AC-3) programming, verify that
the settings are correct at the receiver. Also, be sure the source
material (laser disc or broadcast programming) is Dolby Digital
or AC-3 encoded.

• Move the Acoustimass module closer to a wall or corner to
increase bass. Move it farther from a wall or corner to decrease
bass. Or adjust the bass/treble control on the receiver slightly.

Cleaning the speakers

Wipe the cube speakers using a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or chemicals. Do not
allow liquids to spill on or objects to drop into the Acoustimass module or the speaker
grilles. You may vacuum the grilles carefully; the drivers are directly behind the grille cloth.
No other maintenance is needed.
