Surround
speaker
placement
The rear surround speakers create
an
area of sound around the listener. Place them
in
the back
half of your room. Direct both cubes ofthe speaker array (or your single cube speaker) away from
the listeners so that they cannot pinpoint the exact location of the sound source. The surround
cables allow up to
50
feet (15.2
m)
distance from the Acoustimass® module.
1.
Place the speakers at ear height (when seated)
or
higher, if possible.
2.
Adjust the rear surround speakers to reflect sound off one or more surfaces.
The longer the path from the speaker to your
ear,
the better. Do not direct the sound straight
at the listener.

Note:
If
the serial number on the bottom
of
the Acoustimass module is not alreadyprinted on
your

record it there and in the space provided
on
page 3
of
this guide.
Follow these guidelines to select a location
for
the Acoustimass module:
• Place the Acoustimass module along the same wall as the
TV,
or at the same end
of
the
room as the front speakers (refer to Figure
4).
J
Note:
To
avoid interference with the TVpicture, place the Acoustimass module
at
least
18
inches (45 em) from the TV Move it further
if
you still notice interference.
• Place the Acoustimass module so that the grille with the Bose logo faces the room or
IS
perpendicular to the wall. This prevents blocking the sound output or creating too much
bass.
• For best bass performance,
DO
NOT place the Acoustimass module at equal distances
from any two walls or centered between the floor and ceiling.
• For convenience, you may want to slide the Acoustimass module under a table or behind a
cabinet. However,
DO
NOT allow furniture
or
drapes
to
block its ventilation openings.
A.
CAUTION: DO
NOT
BLOCK
the slots on the end the module, which provide ventilation for the
built-in electronic circuitry.
• Place the Acoustimass module within reach
of
the audio input cable, speaker cables, and
an
AC power (maIns) outlet.
