Setting Up Figure 3 Acoustimass module positions Acoustimass® module Follow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module. Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least 18 inches (45 cm) from a TV. 1. Place the module along the same the wall as the speakers, if possible (Figure 2). 2. Select a convenient location - under a table, behind a sofa. Do not allow furniture or drapes to block the ventilation openings of the module. 3. Place the module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and an AC power (mains) outlet. 4. Select a position for the Acoustimass module (Figure 3). For proper ventilation, place it on the long edge, with the connectors facing the floor. An alternate position is on its largest side, with the bass and treble controls facing up. Do not place the module on either end, as shown by the last two views in Figure 3. ® Preferred ® position Treble Bass Alternate position ® AUDIO INPUT OUTPUTS TO CUBE SPEAKERS RIGHT LEFT OFF POWER ON ® 5. 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. 6. Aim the port (the round opening) into the room or along the wall to avoid blocking the port or creating too much bass. 7. For best bass performance, do not place the port at equal distances from any two walls or from a wall and the ceiling. 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. Music center Select a location for the music center. 1. Allow enough room to open the CD player cover. 2. Place the music center close enough to any additional sound sources (TV, VCR, etc.) to allow for cable length. If you need additional audio and/or video cables to connect all of your components, see your dealer or call Bose®. 3. Place the music center within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustimass module (the length of the audio input cable). Note: Since some TVs can interfere with the proper operation of a CD player or tuner, you may want to avoid placing the music center directly on top of your TV. AM251174_03_V.pdf October 22, 2001 7
