Before you begin
you for choosing Bose'’ home theater speakers. Both
^Pyiodel V-100 video speaker and the V-300"^ home theater
speaker set are engineered specifically for use with video
sound tracks. They are designed to make the most of audio
for video (AA/) surround sound receivers or amplifiers with
five amplified speaker outputs.
The StarOriver”"' full-range driver in each speaker makes
these Bose home theater products well-suited for movie
dialogue or surround sound effects.
in either package you purchased, there is a single video
speaker. Its magnetic shielding allows you to put this speaker
close to your video screen without causing interference.
There it will deliver clear, crisp soundtrack reproduction from
the center channel. Other speakers at the front of your room
provide the left and right video sound.
In additon to one video speaker, the V-300 set contains two
unshielded surround speakers. They are designed for use at
the rear of your room. Advanced design brackets included in
this package make the surround speakers simple to mount
on a wall or ceiling.
Please read and follow the Instructions in this guide. They will
help you set up and use your new home theater speakers for
the fullest listening, and viewing, enjoyment.
