Setting Up
Checking the connections
Check all connections from the receiver to the powered Acoustimass
®
module and from the
module to the cube speakers (
Figure 5 and Figure 6). Make sure the cube speakers are con-
nected to the proper terminals according to their position in your room. Check that the wires
are connected to your surround receiver in phase (+ to + and – to –). Correct wiring problems
before you plug your receiver in and turn it on.
Connecting the Acoustimass module to power
Note: Bose
®
recommends using a quality surge suppressor on all electronics equipment. Volt-
age variations and spikes can damage electronic components in any system. A quality sup-
pressor can eliminate the vast majority of failures attributed to surges and may be purchased
at an electronics store.
After you have checked all system connections, plug the power cord of the powered Acousti-
mass module into an AC (mains) receptacle. Your Acoustimass speaker system will turn on
and off automatically as it receives a signal from your surround receiver.
