[. . . ] Figure 3 shows suggested ways to achieve an accurate left and right sound image. · · Place the front speakers on either side of your TV, at least 6 feet (2 m), or as much as 15 feet (5 m) apart. Place them in line with the center of the screen for the best sound balance (position 1). Or, place them in a lateral position, with one high and the other low (position 2). Placing them in a line above the top of the TV is a third choice (position 3). The speaker on the left as you face the TV is connected to the LEFT FRONT jack on the Acoustimass module. · Figure 3 3 2/3 Suggested choices for left and right front speaker placement 1 1 2 Center cube speaker Select one speaker with a gray terminal for the front center speaker. Sound from the center speaker should seem to come from within the picture. · · Place the center cube speaker above, below, or on top of your television. If below, be sure that the cube speaker is not supporting the weight of the television in any way. Keep it as close to the vertical center of the screen as possible, for the most accurate dialogue reproduction (positions 1 or 2). CAUTION: If you are placing the center speaker on top of the television, use the smaller of the two sets of four rubber feet provided. This will provide extra stability on surfaces such as marble or glass. Additional rubber feet are available, free, by calling the Bose® customer service numbers inside the back cover of this manual. Ask for Part Number 178321-04. Figure 4 1 Suggested choices for center speaker placement 2 6 December 20, 2001 AM183644_01_V. pdf Setting Up Surround cube speakers The remaining two speakers with gray terminals are to be used as surround speakers. The left and right rear channel sound should reach the viewer from both sides, rather than from directly behind. · · · · Put one on the left and the other on the right, keeping them as far apart as possible, beside or just to the rear of the home theater seating area. Place them high up, to avoid a direct sound path to the ears of the listeners (position 1). If you want these speakers directly behind the seating area, make sure they are not directed at the viewers (positions 2 and 3). The rear speaker on the left as you face the TV is connected to the LEFT SURROUND jack on the Acoustimass® module. Figure 5 1 1 Suggested choices for surround (rear) speaker placement 2 2 3 3 Acoustimass module Bose® recommends putting your Acoustimass module at the same end of the room as the television monitor. To prevent interference, keep the module at least 2 feet (60 cm) from the television. · · You may hide the Acoustimass module behind or under furniture, but do not block the opening. The gray connector marked RS goes to the right surround speaker. CAUTION: Before making any connections turn off your receiver or amplifier and unplug it from the outlet (AC power mains). Not doing so may result in damage to your system. Note: Do not attempt to splice cables. [. . . ] Crossover frequency . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
