Do you have a question about the Bose 111 and is the answer not in the manual?
Be sure to use the proper gauge (thickness) of speaker cord. Standard zip cord works for most applications.
Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The marked wire is always positive (+), the plain wire is always negative (-). Prepare and connect cords to speakers.
Connect the first cord to the left channel of your receiver or amplifier. Attach the marked wire to the red (+) terminal.
Check speaker and receiver connections carefully. Ensure no loose strands of wire touch terminals to prevent short circuits.
To make sure speakers operate correctly: Set receiver to MONO, turn on, set balance to normal, place speakers close and play bass passages.
Bare wire ends of speaker cord can be affected by elements. Use silicone caulking to protect connections, especially in salt water exposure.
Use a cloth dampened in mild detergent and water to remove dust or dirt from the outside of loudspeakers. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
Check the settings on your receiver or amplifier. Refer to the owner's guide for instructions on settings.
Check the tonal balance setting on your receiver or amplifier.
Check the balance control on your receiver or amplifier. Ensure wires are in good condition and firmly connected.
Disconnect wires from speaker and receiver. Connect other cord end to speaker that doesn't play. If it still doesn't play, problem is in speaker.
