The media center can be placed out of sight behind all of
your other A/V components. When placing the media

Place the display module so it is facing out into the room,
toward the front of the surface on which it rests, as shown
in Figure 7. Allow about two inches of clearance on either

Placing the cube speakers
When you place your speakers approximately as shown in
Figure 8 on page 11, they provide the audio atmosphere
of a home theater. You can experiment with speaker
placement and orientation to produce the most pleasing
sound.
CAUTION:
Vibration can cause speakers to move, particularly on smooth
surfaces such as marble, glass, or highly polished wood. To
reduce the possibility of movement, Bose recommends that you
attach the included rubber speaker feet to the bottom of the
speakers.
Note: If, after running the ADAPTiQ
system, you move one or more speakers to a substantially different location, you should re-run the ADAPTiQ
audio calibration system.
Select a stable and level surface for all speakers.

Placing the center speaker
• Place the center speaker directly above or below the
vertical center of the TV screen or as close to that as
possible (see Figure 8).
• If you are placing the center speaker directly on the
top of your TV, first attach the supplied rubber feet to
the bottom surface of the speaker.
• Make sure the 20-foot (6.1-meter) speaker cable can
reach from the center speaker to the Acoustimass
®
module.
Placing the front left and right speakers
• Set or mount the front left and right speakers upright
and lined up with the horizontal center of the TV
screen.
• We recommend a maximum distance of 3 feet
(1 meter) from the edge of your TV screen for
best results.
• Make sure each 20-foot (6.1-meter) speaker
cable can reach from the speaker to the
Acoustimass module.
Placing the rear speakers
• Position the rear left and right speakers in the back
half of your room.
• Make sure each 50-foot (15.2-meter) speaker
cable can reach from the speaker to the
Acoustimass module.
• Place the speakers at ear height or higher if possible.
• Direct the sound away from the listening positions to
maximize the reflected sound.

Note: AM reception can be adversely affected by a
nearby television when it is on. Turn off the TV for best AM
reception.
Cable radio as an option
Some cable TV providers make FM radio signals available
through the cable service to your home. This cable
connects to the FM antenna jack on the back panel of the

Installing the TV on/off sensor
The TV on/off sensor enables the system to automatically
turn on the TV when another video source (DVD, cable/

sensor, you must turn on your TV separately.
For a larger TV, you may want a second person to help as
you follow the steps below:
Note: Front projectors with a separate screen may not
work with the sensor.
