English Setting Up Your Acoustimass® 6 Speaker System Selecting locations for your speakers The lengths of cable supplied with your Acoustimass® 6 system provide a great deal of flexibility in speaker placement. Optional Bose® extension cable, add-on connectors, wall brackets, and floor stands can add to your choices. See "Accessories" on page 17. Left and right front cube speakers There are several ways to achieve an accurate left and right sound image (Figure 3). • 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 horizontal center of the screen for the best sound balance (position 1). Placing them in a line above the top of the TV is another choice (position 2). • Aim the speakers inward for more accurate imaging or outward for a more spacious effect. Adjust them according to your preference. • The speaker on the left as you face the TV connects to the left (L) OUTPUTS jack on the Acoustimass module. Figure 3 2 2 Suggested choices for left and right front speaker placement 1 1 Figure 4 Suggested choices for center speaker placement CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your speakers. Vibration can cause the cube speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. If you are placing the center speaker on top of the television, use the smaller of the two sets of rubber feet provided. You may obtain additional rubber feet (part no. 178321), free of charge, by contacting Bose Customer Service (see listings on the inside back cover). Center cube speaker Sound from the center speaker should seem to come from within the picture. Figure 4 shows suggested positions for the center speaker. • 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. • Aim this speaker straight ahead for on-screen imaging. • Keep it as close to the vertical center of the screen as possible, for the most accurate dialogue reproduction (positions 1 or 2). 1 2 AM252172_02_V.pdf October 29, 2001 7
