[. . . ] Carefully unpack the carton and save all packing materials for possible future use. Now is a good time to record the speaker serial numbers on page 2 of this guide and on your warranty card. Instead, repack both speakers in the original carton and notify your authorized Bose dealer immediately. The following guidelines are intended to help you find the best sounding location for your new speakers: · Listen to both speaker sound patterns shown on page 4, Figure 1. [. . . ] standard zip cord (2-conductor , 18-gauge wire) works best for most applications. You will need thicker wire if your speakers will be more than 30 feet (9 m) from a receiver or amplifier. Refer to the wire recommendations under "Technical information" on page 10, or contact your authorized Bose® dealer for more information. Check your local building code requirements or contact an electrical installer for information. At the ends of each cord, strip approximately 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from both wires. Twist the bare end of each wire, so loose strands will not touch across terminals. Be sure to connect each wire to the proper terminal (positive to positive and negative to negative). Caution: Before making any connections, turn off your receiver or amplifier and unplug it from the AC power (mains) outlet. Just press the terminal tab on the back of each speaker to insert the appropriate wire (Figure 4). Connect the other end of the same cord to the RIGHT SPEAKER OUTPUT of your receiver. Connect the second cord to the left speaker and LEFT SPEAKER OUTPUT as described above. Be sure the connections are secure before you plug in the receiver or amplifier and turn it on. Place the speakers less than 6 inches (15 cm) apart, facing each other. Turn on your receiver, and set it to MONO (monophonic), if that is an option on your model. If it is not, one of the connections may be reversed, causing the speakers to play out of phase. To correct the problem, make sure all the wires are connected positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative (­ to ­). ⷠCheck to be sure the AC power (mains) outlet is working. ⷠDisconnect any headphones plugged into the headphone jack. ⷠMake sure the receiver or amplifier is not set to MUTE. ⷠRefer to the owner's guide that came with your receiver or amplifier. [. . . ] Details of the coverage are provided on the warranty card that came with your speakers. Please fill out the information section of the card, detach, and mail to Bose. If you have a problem not solved by the troubleshooting guidelines, contact your authorized Bose dealer to arrange for service.
