Setting
Up
Before
you
begin
Bose®
Virtually Invisible® speaker technology allows you
to
enjoy lifelike home performances
from the very latest surround-sound encoded movies, CDs, and television shows, without a
room full of speakers. Each of the five cube speaker arrays, along with the Powered Acousti-
mass®
module, reproduces the full-spectrum of sound from multi-channel digital program-
ming. Integrated Signal Processing assures full bass performance from
all
channels, at all
listening levels, regardless of your receiver settings.
Your stereo VCR, stereo television,
or
DVD
player sends the encoded program material
to
the
surround-sound receiver, which interprets and distributes the information
to
the Powered
Acoustimass module. The module delivers the bass for
all
channels and sends appropriate
sounds
to
each cube array. The sound mix varies with different program types: dialogue is
usually sent
to
the center speaker, a visual soundstage is created by the left and right front
speakers, and you feel
in
the center of the action because sounds and special effects are
directed
to
the surround
(rear)
speakers.
At
any point
in
a surround-sound performance, you
may hear sound from one,
a
few,
or
all
of
the speakers.
To
select surround-encoded program material, look for any of the terms Surround, Dolby
Surround, the double-D
symbollXll
DOLBY

or
Dolby Digital

~~~~~!
or
other digital formats, or the word "surround" preceding a
TV
broadcast. Your system is fully
compatible with the latest home theater receivers.
You
can also enjoy a wide variety of stereo
programming that is not surround-encoded with your Acoustimass 15 speakers.
