Tailoring the sound to your room
Figure 3 ADAPTiQ headset connection.
The ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system ensures that your Lifestyle® system sounds great. Completing the ADAPTiQ audio calibration system process is the final step of a basic Lifestyle® setup.
If you have already completed the ADAPTiQ audio calibration system process using the Bose® Setup and Demonstrations DVD please go on to the next section, “Carton inventory” on page 8.
A special headset, pictured in Figure 3, can be found in the Essentials kit. The headset, designed to be worn above your ears, contains two miniature microphones that take acoustic measurements during calibration.
You will achieve the best results when the listening room is relatively quiet. Please notify other members of your household that they will hear a series of audio tones.
On the connection panel of the media center (shown in Figure 3), plug the ADAPTiQ headset into the AUX AUDIO IN connectors.

INSTALLATION
Placing the media center and display
The media center can be placed out of sight behind all of your other A/V components. When placing the media center, ensure that it is close enough to other sources (TV, DVD, 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.
CAUTION: Do not block the ventilation openings on either side of the media center. Allow at least two inches on each side.
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 side of the display module. Make sure you can clearly see the display module from your listening position.
Bose offers a variety of speaker mounting accessories, including rubber feet, 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.
Rotate the top cube of each speaker array toward the wall or another hard surface to create reflected sound.

Placing the cube speakers
Figure 8 Approximate speaker locations
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: Select a stable and level surface for all speakers. 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® audio calibration system, you move one or more speakers to a substantially different location, you should re-run the ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system.
Rotate the top cube toward a wall or other hard surface.

INSTALLATION
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 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.
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.

INSTALLATION
Placing the Acoustimass® module
Attach the four self-adhesive rubber feet to the surface that touches the floor (either of its two sides, its top, or bottom).
Place the Acoustimass® module:
•At the same end of the room as the front speakers.
•At least 18 inches (45 centimeters) from the TV to avoid magnetic interference with the TV image.
•With the front end facing into the room.
•Within reach of the audio input cable, the five speaker cables, and your AC power (mains) outlet.
•Under a table or behind a cabinet, but not where furniture or drapes block any openings on the module.
•On its two sides, its top, or bottom (Figure 9).
Do NOT place the Acoustimass module:
•On its back end or front end (Figure 9).
•Where the ventilation slots for the built-in electronic circuitry are blocked.
•Where it will expose electronic media, such as tapes, to its magnetic field for long periods.
•Where the front end is facing a wall.

Making antenna connections
The supplied AM and FM antennas connect to the rear panel of the media center (Figure 10).
Note: The FM connector may be used with an outdoor antenna. Before doing this, consult a qualified installer. Follow all safety instructions supplied with the antenna.
Figure 10 Connections for the AM and FM antennas

AM
FM antenna connection
1.Plug the connector on the FM dipole antenna lead into the FM antenna jack.
2.Spread out the antenna arms and change their orientation as needed to get the best FM reception.
3.Keep the antenna as far as possible from the media center, display, and Acoustimass® module.
AM antenna connection
1.Plug the connector on the AM loop antenna lead into the AM antenna jack.
2.Stand the AM antenna on the base or mount the antenna on a wall, following the instructions enclosed with the AM antenna.
3.Keep the antenna as far as possible (at least 20 inches or 50 centimeters) from the media center and display module, and at least 2 feet (60 centimeters) from the Acoustimass module.
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 media center.
For instructions on how to make this connection, contact your cable TV provider.

INSTALLATION
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/ satellite box, etc.) is selected. If you choose not to use the 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.
1.Plug the sensor cord connector into the media center TV Sensor connector.
If you are using a SCART adapter, plug the sensor directly into the pass-through connector provided on the adapter (Figure 12 on page 17).
2.Temporarily position the TV on/off sensor on the back of your TV (Figure 11).
Note: DO NOT attach the supplied mounting pad until you have tested and activated the automatic feature as explained below.

8.Press ENTER.
Below the highlighted TV Power item is TV Power Status. The value for this item changes from Not Detected to TV On, when the sensor is properly positioned.
Note: It may be helpful to get an assistant for the next step and have one person view the screen, while the other moves the sensor.
9.Hold the sensor against the rear of the TV and slowly move it around until TV Power Status changes from Not Detected to TV On.
10.When the TV Power Status indicates TV On, press Exit to exit the System menu.
This completes sensor activation.
