Small, easy-to-place shelf speakers

An attractive floor-standing Acoustimass® module

An easy-to-use, universal infrared (IR) remote control

An Interface module that provides simple audio connections to your TV and receives IR remote control signals

SYSTEM SETUP

Unpacking

Carefully unpack your system. Save all packing materials, which provide the safest way to transport your system. If any part of the system appears damaged, do not attempt to use it. Notify Bose or your authorized Bose® dealer immediately. For Bose contact information, refer to the address sheet included in the carton.

WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep plastic bags out of the reach of children.

Check to be sure your system includes the parts shown in Figure 1.

Note: Now is a good time to find the serial number on the rear of the Acoustimass® module.

Copy that number onto your product registration card and in the space provided on page 4.

SYSTEM SETUP

Selecting a location for your CineMateTM speaker system

Figure 2

Example location for the Interface module

Use the following guidelines to choose locations and positions for the speakers and the Interface module. While these guidelines are offered to ensure the best system performance, you may find other placement variations that are more convenient and provide the sound you enjoy.

Note: Keep in mind that the Acoustimass® module is the only part of this system that connects to a power outlet.

Positioning the Interface module

The Interface module receives commands from the universal remote control and provides audio input connections for the CineMateTM speaker system. The remote control commands allow you to turn the speakers on, change the volume, and mute or turn off the speaker system.

Position the Interface module on a flat surface near the TV and other home theater equipment (Figure 2). The remote should have a clear line of sight to the Interface module, the TV, and any other equipment it will control.

Keep the Interface module within 15 feet (4.6 meters) of the Acoustimass module, to which it connects.

If you position the Interface module on a shelf, make sure the front edge of the module is flush with the front edge of the shelf. If on a high shelf, make sure the front edge of the module extends slightly past the front of the shelf, so the shelf does not block signals from the remote control.

Do not position the Interface module in direct sunlight.

Peel the protective film off the lens on the front of the Interface module.

CAUTION: When positioning the Interface module, avoid blocking any ventilation openings on the TV or other electronic equipment.

SYSTEM SETUP

Positioning the speakers

Figure 3

Recommended positioning of left and right speakers

Choosing a good location for the speakers will allow you to experience the audio surround effects that your CineMateTM home theater speaker system is designed to deliver.

Note: The left and right speakers are identical. Place one speaker to the left of your TV and the other one to the right.

Place the left and right speakers at least 3 feet (1 meter) apart from each other to optimize the surround sound experience (Figure 3).

Place each speaker within 3 feet (1 meter) of the edge of the TV screen. Placing the speakers more than 3 feet away from the TV may cause the sound to seem separated from the TV picture (Figure 3).

If you are using a bookshelf or a home entertainment unit, place each speaker at the front edge of its shelf Positioning the speakers too far back in an enclosed space can change the overall quality of sound and alter the program’s sound effects.

CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for both speakers. Vibration can cause the speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. If you are placing the speakers on a smooth surface, be sure to attach one set of the small rubber feet to the bottom surface of each speaker. You can obtain additional rubber feet (PN 178321) from Bose® Customer Service. For Bose contact information, refer to the address sheet included in the carton.

Note: The speakers can be mounted on Bose brackets, table stands, or floor stands. For ordering information, refer to “Accessories” on page 22. Additional or longer cables may also be ordered.

SYSTEM SETUP

• Set the speakers on their bottom surfaces, only, with the Bose® logo right-side up.

Figure 4

Recommended speaker orientation

Aim the speakers straight ahead into the listening area (Figure 5). Do not place the speakers at an angle. Angling one or both speakers into or away from the listening area significantly alters system performance.

Figure 5

Recommended speaker position

Positioning the Acoustimass® module

Place the module at the same end of the room as the TV and the speakers (Figure 6).

Keep the module at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the TV to prevent the module from interfering with the TV screen.

Place the module within reach of the cable from the Interface module and an AC (mains) power outlet.

Choose a convenient location such as under a table, behind a sofa or chair, or behind drapes but DO NOT BLOCK the port opening.
