below the center of your TV screen as in the following example.
Left front (L)
Center front (C)
Right front (R)
B. Place one speaker to the left and one to the right of the TV.
– Keep each speaker within 3 ft (1 m) 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 placing the speakers in an enclosed bookcase shelf, position them at the
front edge of the shelf.
– Rotate the cubes so that one cube of each speaker points forward into the
room and the other points at a side wall to create reflected sound.

– Make sure the 50 ft (15.2 m) rear speaker cables will reach from the speak-
ers to the Acoustimass

– Aim the speakers away from the listeners to prevent them from pinpointing
the exact location of the sound source.
– Rotate the cubes so that one cube of each speaker points forward into the
room and the other points at a side wall to create reflected sound.
D. Locate the colored connectors on the bottom panel of the

s Put the Acoustimass
®
module in its final position:
– Upright (BEST) or on either side (ALTERNATE).
– With the front opening facing into the room.
– At least 18 in (45 cm) from any TV to avoid magnetic interference with the TV
image. Move it farther away if you still notice interference.
CAUTION:
s Do not put electronic media, such as video or audio tapes, on or next
to the Acoustimass
surrounding the module may erase some or all of the recorded material.
s DO NOT BLOCK the ventilation openings on the module. This can cause it
to overheat.
