System Installation Instructions Figure 5 Right and wrong placements for the Acoustimass module Acoustimass® module placement Note: Now is a good time to find the serial number on the bottom of the module, before you proceed. Copy that number onto your warranty card and in the space provided on page 2 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 close to the same end of the room as the front speakers (see Figure 4). Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least 18 inches (45 cm) from the TV. • Place the Acoustimass module so that the grille with the Bose® emblem faces into the room or along the wall to avoid 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 from a wall and the 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 the ventilation openings of the module. • Place the Acoustimass module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and an AC power (mains) outlet. • Place the Acoustimass module on the floor on its long edge or lay it down on its largest side. DO NOT stand it on either end. See Figure 5. BEST For best ventilation, place it on the long edge, with connectors facing the floor. DO NOT stand the module on the back end. This surface is slightly curved and the module may tip over. ALTERNATE Place it on its largest side. DO NOT stand the module on the front grille. The weight of the module can damage the grille. • Once you have selected a position for the module, place the four self-adhesive rubber feet near the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased stability and protection from scratches. CAUTION: DO NOT cover the ventilation openings of the Acoustimass module. The slots on the end provide ventilation for the built-in electronic circuitry, and should not be blocked. CAUTION: The magnetic field from the Acoustimass module is not an immediate risk to your video tapes, audio tapes, and other magnetic media. However, you should not store tapes directly on or near the Acoustimass module. 9 AM259777_02_V.pdf • April 23, 2002
