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

left and one to the right of the TV.

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.

your TV and the three front speakers.

You can place one side against a wall or position the front facing into the room, NOT into a wall or corner.

Avoid placing the module midway between two walls or between the floor and ceiling.

Keep the module at least 18 in (.5 m) from your TV to prevent interference and several feet (.8 m) from audio or video tapes to prevent magnetic damage to them.

3. Set the module on a side or the bottom surface, but NOT standing on either end.

You can slide it behind a sofa or chair, under a table, or behind drapes.

CAUTION: Do not block the ventilation openings on the front and rear of the module.

Ways to prevent ventilation blocking:

• Stand the module upright (BEST) or on a side (ALTERNATE).

• DO NOT stand the module on either end.

• Place the module where the rear vents are open to air flow.

Make sure:

• The module is NOT in an enclosure, on a bed or sofa, or on a surface that can block the ventilation openings.

• All speaker cables and the audio input cable from the module can reach the rear of the module.

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