Thank you for purchasing the Bose® VideoWave®
entertainment system. This guide provides you with
step-by-step instructions for setting up your new
entertainment system.
Note: Professional installation is recommended.
Product overview
The VideoWave system features a monitor and stand,
and comes with a control console, a remote control,
and a dock compatible with iPod and iPhone. The
control console connects to the monitor using a single
cable. Each of your A/V devices connects to the back
of the control console.
The setup process
Your VideoWave entertainment system is packed in two
boxes. The large rectangular box contains the monitor.
The smaller box contains the control console, monitor
stand, screws, and system parts. Inside are two boxes
labeled and . These boxes contain the system
parts that are used in different stages of the setup
process.
Carefully unpack each item as you proceed through the
setup. If an item is damaged, do not attempt to use it.
Notify Bose or your authorized Bose dealer
immediately. For Bose contact information, see the
address sheet included in the monitor stand box.
There are two parts to the setup process:
• Physical setup – This part of the setup includes
placing the monitor and control console and making
system connections. The items used in this stage are
the monitor, the stand, the parts located in Box ,
and the control console.
• Interactive setup – This part begins when you turn
on the system and start following the on-screen
instructions provided by the Unify
integration system. This proprietary technology will
help you complete the setup, showing you the right
inputs and best connection options, and will even
verify that you've done it correctly. The items used for
this stage are located in Box .
The monitor can be placed on furniture using the
attached stand or it can be mounted on a wall.
WARNING: The monitor weighs about 119 lbs. (59 kg).
To prevent personal injury, a two-person lift is required.
CAUTION: DO NOT mount or place the monitor in a
recessed area or cabinet. This can block the ventilation
openings and affect the acoustic performance.
CAUTION: Do not place the monitor near or over a
source of heat, such as a fireplace. Any damage that may
occur to your monitor as a result of placing it over a
fireplace will not be covered by the limited warranty on
your VideoWave® entertainment system.
Monitor placement recommendations
Much like a live performance in a concert hall, the
VideoWave
reflective surfaces of the room to deliver a spacious
home theater experience. The system features
ADAPTiQ
customizes the sound during setup based on where
the system is positioned, as well as the size, shape,
and furnishings of the room it is in.
®
entertainment system relies on the
®
audio calibration technology, which
The following recommendations are provided to help
you place the monitor in the best possible location:
• The back of the monitor should be approximately
1-4 in. (2.5-10.0 cm) from a wall.
• You should try to allow 3-10 ft. (0.9-3.0 m) between
the monitor and the side walls of the room.
• Allow at least 8 in. (20 cm) of clearance from the top
of the monitor to any surface above (such as a shelf)
to allow for proper ventilation and acoustic
performance.
• The area between the side walls and the monitor
should be free of as many objects as possible that
would block the sound, such as tall bookcases and
storage cabinets.
• To enjoy the best audio and video performance, try to
have the vertical center of the screen at eye level
when seated.
7. Route both cords through the leg of the stand and
re-attach the connector cover.
8. Plug the AC power cord from the monitor into a live
AC (mains) outlet.
9. Go to “Control console placement and connections” on page 15 to continue the physical setup.
CAUTION: Bose strongly recommends installing the
two included anti-tip straps that, when properly installed,
provide an extra measure of security in the event that the
monitor accidentally starts to tip over.
Installing the anti-tip straps
It is important that you install both straps according to
the following instructions.
WARNING: Do not use the anti-tip straps for any
application other than the one specified in this setup
guide.
CAUTION: If you are unsure of the construction methods
used in your home, or if you do not understand these
instructions or have any concerns or questions, please
contact a professional installer.
1. Using the provided 5/32 in. (4 mm) hex wrench,
remove the top two bolts from the rear panel of the
monitor as indicated.
2. Using the same bolts, attach the two straps to the
back of the monitor as shown.
CAUTION: The included screws are for use only into
wood-studded wall constructions with one-inch (max.)
drywall. For all other types of wall construction, please
contact a professional installer. Use caution to avoid any
electrical or plumbing lines running through the studs.
3. Locate the two wall studs closest to the straps.
Each strap should be attached to the wall stud
closest to it.
DO NOT attach both straps to the same stud.
4. Hold the bracket on the end of each strap against
the wall above the tabletop. Hold the bracket a
minimum of 18 in. (46 cm) or maximum of 24 in.
(61 cm) above the tabletop. In the center of each
wall stud, mark the location of the two holes in the
bracket.
5. Using a 7/64 in. (3 mm) drill bit (not included), drill
four pilot holes.
6. Secure each bracket to the wall using two of the
provided screws.
7. Push monitor back to within 1-4 in. (2.5-10 cm)
from the wall.
8. Tighten the straps to remove any slack between
the monitor and the wall.
9. Bundle the remaining length of the straps and
secure them out of reach behind the monitor.
Wall-mounting the monitor
The VideoWave® system is compatible with any VESA
certified bracket that uses a 400 mm x 400 mm screw
pattern. The panel itself without the stand weighs
119 lbs. (59 kg), so the mount must be able to support
that weight. Articulating wall mounts are not optimal
because of the effect that changes in position might
have on the acoustics and are therefore not
recommended.
1. Remove the bag from the monitor.
2. On the rear panel of the monitor, firmly pull out on
the bottom of the connector cover (A) then pull
down (B) to remove it.
• Make sure the supplied monitor cable (3 m) can
reach from the console to the monitor.
• Until your system setup is complete and your
external devices are connected, it is helpful to
keep the control console positioned for easy
access to its rear connection panel.
CAUTION: If using the monitor on the stand, DO NOT
place the control console between the legs of the stand
or anywhere directly under the bottom edge of the
monitor. This will avoid blocking ventilation and audio
system openings in the product enclosure.
You are now ready to turn on your system and
complete the setup process using the Unify
integration system.
Here is what you need from Box 2:
