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
to the center speaker if it sits on
a surface like a shelf, a table, or
the TV.
2. Place the center speaker in a horizontal position on
a stable and level surface.
It can go above or below your TV.
3. Place one vertical speaker to the
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.

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

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.

Positioning the Acoustimass® module
This speaker produces the deep bass sounds that
make you feel – not just hear – the on-screen action.
1. Attach the
four selfadhesive
rubber feet
to the bottom
surface of the
module.
These provide stability
and protect both the floor and the module.
Note: You may want to keep the module temporarily
standing on a side or upside down so you can make the
connections easily. When the connections are completed,
place the module in the location and position you have
chosen.
2. Place the module at the same end of the room as
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.

Looking over your finished placement
1. Check the overall arrangement of your system
components.
The speaker positions around the room should
follow a pattern similar to the one shown here.
Note: If you are using accessory stands or brackets with
the speakers, now is the time to follow the assembly
instructions for setting them up. The instructions include
how to wire and attach the speakers to your accessory.
