SYSTEM SETUP

Arranging the system around your room

For convenience in setting up your speakers, Bose offers floor stands, table stands, and wall brackets. For the rear speakers, we also offer a wireless connect kit.

To get further information or to order accessories, call your Bose dealer. Or to contact Bose directly, refer to the address list provided in the carton.

The images that follow show the speakers placed without the use of brackets or stands.

Positioning the front and center speakers

These three front speakers center the dialogue and create a broad stage of sound that matches what you see on screen.

1. Attach the provided rubber feet

2. Place the center speaker in a horizontal position on

Keep these left and right speakers within 3 ft (1 m) of the TV screen, so the sound and picture work together.

At the front of your room:

Make sure:

• Any speakers placed on a shelf are near the front edge of the shelf.

Placing them farther back can change the tonal quality of the sound.

SYSTEM SETUP

EnglishTAB 6TAB 8 TAB 7 TAB 3TAB 5 TAB 2TAB 4

Positioning the rear speakers

These two speakers perform at the back of the room to provide lifelike surround sound when it is needed for special effects.

Toward the rear of your room:

1. Place one speaker to the left and the other to the right of the viewers and facing the front of the room.

Keep these two speakers as far from the viewers as is practical.

Make sure:

• To aim the speakers away from the listeners so the source of the sound is not obvious.

• To rotate the top of all four of the vertical speakers that are at the front and rear of the room.

This helps create the lifelike sound your

system is designed to provide.

Note:

During placement, you may discover that you need additional cables, which are available from your local Bose dealer.

If you prefer to contact Bose directly, refer to the address list provided in the carton, or visit Bose on the web at: www.Bose.com.

2. Position each speaker at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible.

SYSTEM SETUP

Arranging the media center and VS-2

Keep both the media center and VS-2 video enhancer positioned for easy access in making connections.

When the connections are complete, you can move the two units into final position.

With the VS-2 close to (behind) the media center:

1. Place the media center on a flat, stable surface.

Allow space to lift the front cover and open the disc tray on the media center. Also avoid obstructions that block your view of the front display window.

2. Position the VS-2 behind the media center – on the floor, on an entertainment center shelf, or mounted to the wall.

Make sure:

• The VS-2 and the media center are within 6 ft (1.8 m)

of each other.

• An AC power (mains) outlet is within 10 ft (3 m) of the

VS-2.

• The video cables from other devices (cable/satellite

box, DVR, VCR, or other) can reach the VS-2.

• The audio cables from these devices can reach the

media center.

1. Check your cable or satellite box connection panel to locate the Audio Out connectors.

2. Identify the stereo audio cable to use:

a. If a stereo audio cable still connects the box to

your TV, refer to “Disconnecting your devices from the TV” on page 25. Proceed to b, below.

b. If the cable connected to the box is free at one

end (disconnected from the TV), proceed to step 3.

c. If a stereo audio cable is not yet attached, use

the cable provided by Bose and connect one end to the Audio Out connector on your box.

3. Locate the Audio IN connectors that are labeled CBL•SAT on the back of the media center.

These connectors are between the VCR and AUX Audio IN connectors.

Including a digital audio connection

In addition to the stereo connection, you can make a high-quality digital audio connection if your device provides such a connector.

Note: To avoid temporary loss of audio (common signal drop outs during digital transmissions), keep the stereo audio cable connected to your device and the media center. This allows for uninterrupted audio performance.

1. Check to see if your device has a digital audio connector. It can be:

• An optical connector that uses optical cable.

This cable is provided in the carton. Be sure to remove the plastic cap from each

plug.

• A coaxial (COAX) connector that uses a simple

COAX or RCA cable (like the composite cable included in the carton).

2. Using the appropriate cable, insert one end into the digital audio connector on your device.

3. Insert the other end of the cable into either:

• The Optical IN connector on the media center.

• The coaxial connector for CBL•/SAT, VCR, or

AUX on the media center.

Note: For an optical connection to a device other than a cable or satellite box, you need to set the system to recognize the signal from this other device.

This cable is available at electronics stores.

Adding more devices

You may want to have another device like a VCR or DVR work with this system.

This is basically a repeat of the process for adding a cable or satellite box. Simply substitute this other device as you follow instructions beginning with “Connecting the video from your cable or satellite box first” on page 30.

1. Consider these points.

• For each device, you need to use a video cable and a stereo audio cable.

• The video cable you use must be compatible with the cable that connects the VS-2 to your TV.

For details on compatible video cable, refer to page 31.

2. Use a video cable and connect it to Video Out on your device. Connect the other end to the Video In for either VCR (for video recording) or AUX on the VS-2.

3. Use a stereo audio cable and connect it to Audio Out on your device.

4. On the media center, locate the AUX or VCR Audio IN connector.

• If you use the AUX connector, the button labeled

AUX on the LIFESTYLE

remote controls your

device.

• If you use the VCR connector, the button labeled

VCR controls this device. The VCR button includes an On/Off control.

5. Connect the other end of the stereo audio cable to the Audio IN connector on your media center.

Note: All cables are now connected to the VS-2 video enhancer. This is a good opportunity to move the VS-2 into place, behind or very near the media center.

MAKING LONG- OR SHORT-TERM ADJUSTMENTS

Changing system and source settings

There are two types of adjustments you can make: System properties and Source settings.

Long-term system adjustments

Your system setup or preferences can require a onetime adjustment. For example:

• If the language you see on-screen is not the language you speak, you have eight other choices. (See “Changing the on-screen language” on page 58.)

• If an optical cable from your AUX or VCR device is connected to the media center, you need to set the Optical option in the System menu.

How to begin:

By pressing the System button, you can see the System menu on screen, as shown on page 58.

To see all of your choices in the System menu, see “Other system options” on page 59.

Important Note: Any changes that you make to System properties are temporary until you turn off the system. Unplugging the system or losing power erases your unsaved changes.

Short-term source settings

You can change some settings temporarily while you watch a video or listen to music. Your choices vary with the source (CD or DVD, cable/satellite, VCR, or AUX) that is playing.

For example:

• While watching a program or movie, you can adjust for any delay between on-screen sound and action. This is useful if you hear words before you see the lips move when a character speaks, for example. (See “Adjusting the audio timing” on page 61.)

• You can set the center speaker to play a little louder while you watch a favorite DVD.

How to begin:

By pressing the Settings button while the system plays, you can see settings for the source that is in use, as shown on page 61.

For a list of your other options, see “Settings options” on page 62.

Important Note: Many of the changes you make for a source are temporary and revert to the original (default) settings when you change sources or turn off the system.

Maintaining the system

Taking care of this system requires very little effort.

Protecting and keeping it clean

Follow the guidelines below when cleaning the surfaces.

• Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives.

• Do not use any sprays near the system.

Cleaning the media center

Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the outside of the media center.

Cleaning the speakers

Clean the surface of your speakers with a soft, damp cloth. You can use an ammonia-free window cleaner on a soft cloth to maintain the finish.

The speaker grille panels require no special care, although you may vacuum them carefully, if necessary.

Checking your remote control response

If your system does not respond when you press a button on the remote:

• There may be “dead spots” in the building where remote control signals are not effective.

If this happens, move the remote a foot or two and try

again.

If this does not help, move the media center a few

feet to see if a new location provides better response.

• It could be time to change the batteries.

If the batteries are not dead and your efforts to avoid dead spots are in vain, you may need an antenna extender. To contact Bose for more information, or to order the extender, refer to the address list included in the carton.
