SOUNDBAR PLACEMENT

RECOMMENDATIONS

For best performance, follow these recommendations when placing the soundbar:

• Do NOT place any objects on top of the soundbar.

• To avoid wireless interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 – 3 ft.

(0.3 – 0.9 m) away from the soundbar. Place the soundbar outside and away from metal cabinets, other audio/video components and direct heat sources.

• Place the soundbar directly below (preferred) or above your TV with the grille

facing into the room.

• Place the soundbar on its rubber feet on a stable and level surface. For proper

support, both feet must be resting on the surface. Vibration can cause the soundbar to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass or highly polished wood.

• Keep the back side of the soundbar at least 0.4 in. (1 cm) from any other surface.

Blocking the ports on this side aects acoustic performance.

• Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.

• For best sound quality, do NOT place the soundbar in an enclosed cabinet or

diagonally in a corner.

• If placing the soundbar on a shelf or TV stand, position the front of the soundbar as

close as possible to the front edge of the shelf or TV stand for optimal acoustic performance.

CAUTION: Do NOT place the soundbar on its front, back or top when in use.

ADAPTIQ AUDIO CALIBRATION

After you set up the soundbar using the Bose Music app, the app prompts you to run ADAPTiQ audio calibration for best acoustic performance. ADAPTiQ audio calibration customizes the sound of the system to the acoustics of your listening area by taking ﬁve audio measurements. To run an audio calibration, you need 10 minutes when the room is quiet.

During ADAPTiQ audio calibration, a microphone on the top of the ADAPTiQ headset (provided with the soundbar) measures the sound characteristics of your room to determine optimal sound quality.

RUN ADAPTIQ AUDIO CALIBRATION USING THE BOSE MUSIC APP

If you later connect an optional bass module or surround speakers, move the soundbar or move any furniture, run ADAPTiQ audio calibration again to ensure optimal sound quality.
