SYSTEM PLACEMENT
Positioning your media center
To select a location in your room for the media center, use the guidelines below:
•Place the media center close enough to other sound sources (TV, VCR, cable or satellite box), to allow for easy cable connections. Check the length of the audio and video cables you will use for these additional components.
Note: Additional cables are available from your local Bose® dealer. Or, to contact Bose directly, refer to the address list provided in the carton. If you prefer, you can order cables from our website: www.bose.com.
•Do not block the front of the media center. Allow enough room to lift up the front cover and open the CD/DVD tray. Also, be sure you have a clear view of the display window on the front of the media center (Figure 3).
•Place the media center within 30 feet (9.1 meters) of the Acoustimass® module ! (the length of the audio input cable).
Note: For convenience, until your system is completely installed, you may wish to keep the media center positioned for easy access to its rear connection panel.

Placing the five cube speakers around your room
When you place your speakers according to the guidelines that follow, they provide the audio atmosphere of a home theater. If you like, experiment with the placement and orientation of the speakers to produce the sound most pleasing to you.
Bose offers a variety of speaker mounting accessories, including stands and wall ! brackets. For more information, or to purchase accessories, contact your local Bose ! dealer or visit www.bose.com. To contact Bose directly, refer to the address list provided in the carton.
CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for each speaker. Vibration can cause speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood.

SYSTEM PLACEMENT
Deciding where you want the center speaker
The center speaker sound should seem to come directly from the center of the picture. The provided cable allows it to be up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) from the Acoustimass® module.
1.Place the center speaker in an upright position, directly above or below the center of the TV screen or as close to that as possible.
2.Align the front of the speaker with the front edge of the TV screen.
CAUTION: Attach the supplied rubber feet (or pad) to its bottom surface before placing a center speaker on top of your TV. This provides stability and prevents shifting from vibration.To obtain additional rubber feet, contact Bose® Customer Service. Refer to the Bose address list included with your system.
Arranging the left and right front speakers
Place one speaker to the left and one to the right of the TV (Figure 4).
•Keep each speaker within 3 feet (1 meter) of the TV screen to prevent too much separation of the sound from the picture. Vary this distance to suit your room conditions and personal preference.
•If any front speakers will be in a bookcase unit, be sure to position them at the front edge ! of the shelf. Placing them farther back can change the tonal quality of the sound.
•Place the speakers up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) from the Acoustimass module, which is the length of the front speaker cables.
•Rotate the top cube of each speaker array (or the single cube) toward the wall or !
another hard surface to create reflected sound. For a view of this effect, refer to Figure 5 on page 10.

SYSTEM PLACEMENT
Positions for the two rear speakers
The placement goal for rear surround speakers is to create an area of sound around the listener. By locating them in the back half of your room and directing the cubes away from the listeners, you prevent them from pinpointing the exact location of the sound source, which is ideal.
The surround speaker cables allow for up to 50 feet (15.2 meters) from the Acoustimass® module.
1.Place the speakers at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible. The longer the path from speakers to ears, the better.
2.Adjust one cube of each speaker to reflect sound off one or more surfaces.
Choosing a location for the Acoustimass! module
While choosing the best place in your room (Figure 4 on page 9), try to keep the module:
•Along the same wall as the TV or at the same end of the room as the front speakers.
•Within the reach of:
•The media center, using the 30-ft (9.1 m) audio input cable.
•The front and center speakers, using the three 20-ft (6.1 m) speaker cables, and ! the two rear speakers using the 50-ft (15 m) speaker cables.
•An AC power (mains) outlet.
•At least 18 inches (45 centimeters) from the TV to avoid magnetically interfering with the TV image. Move it farther away if you still notice interference.
•Positioned with its grille (with a Bose® logo) facing into the room or perpendicular to the closest wall. This prevents the wall from blocking sound output or boosting the bass.
•Off-center between two walls or between a floor and ceiling.
•Set on its side, top, or bottom, but NOT standing on either end (Figure 5).
CAUTION: Do not block the ventilation slots on the module.

For further validation of your setup you can rely on the two discs provided with the system. Disc 1 helps verify placement of the speakers, while Disc 2 walks you through use of the ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system. Its custom equalization adjusts the audio to compensate for room furnishings, speaker placement, and the location of listeners in your room.

BASIC SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
Connecting speaker cables to the module
Your LIFESTYLE® DVD system includes five small speakers. The type of speakers in your ! system determines how the supplied cables connect to them.
•For Jewel Cube® speakers, follow the instructions below.
•For single cube or cube array speakers, follow the instructions on page 13.
Connecting the Jewel Cube® speakers
The supplied cables feature a plug-in connector that ensures proper polarity (+ to + and !
– to –) connections.
• Use the supplied 20-ft (6.1 m) cables for the three front speakers.
Jewel Cube speaker
•Use the supplied 50-ft (15.2 m) cables for the speakers at the rear of your room. !
After running these cables to the rear of your room, you can unzip them by simply pulling them apart. This makes it is easy to reach each of the rear speakers.
To make the connections:
Jewel Cube 1. Notice the marking on each cable plug and match it to the speaker in that location:
horizontal center speaker
• Front speaker cable plugs have L (left), R (right), and C (center) markings.
• Rear speaker cable plugs have LR (left rear) and RR (right rear) markings.
2. Orient the plug with its small knob up, so the plug slips easily into a notch on top of the jack on the back of each speaker (Figure 8).
3. Insert the plug fully into the jack on the rear of its respective speaker.!
For example, the plug marked L connects to the speaker at the left front of your room.

3.Follow the instructions below to connect each cable to the corresponding jack on the Acoustimass® module.
Connecting the speakers to the module
You may find it convenient to temporarily turn the module upside down while making these connections. Then, be sure to place the module on its side or bottom surface when the ! connections are completed.
CAUTION: Before you make these connections, be sure that the media center and the Acoustimass module are NOT yet connected to an AC (mains) power outlet.
To make these connections:
1.Use the colors and labels on the RCA connectors at the free end of each speaker cable as guides in connecting to the module. For a color reference, you may want to use the Quick Setup Guide provided in the carton.
