Bose Acoustimass 6 Series II Owner's guide - Page 8

Setting Up Your Acoustimass® 6 Speaker System Surround cube speakers Left and right rear channel sound should reach the viewer from both sides, rather than from directly behind (Figure 5). • Put one on the left and the other on the right, beside or just to the rear of the home theater seating area. • Position them so they do not create a direct sound path to the listener's ears (position 1). • Generally aim them away from the viewers, toward the rear or side walls (position 2 or 3). • If you want these speakers directly behind the seating area, make sure they are not directed at the viewers. • The rear speaker to your left as you face the TV connects to the left surround (LS) jack on the Acoustimass® module. Figure 5 Suggested choices for surround (rear) speaker placement 1 1 2 2 3 3 Acoustimass® module Bose® recommends putting your Acoustimass module at the same end of the room as the television. 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. Be sure there is at least 2 inches (5 cm) between the opening and any surface. • Placing the module close to a corner increases the bass output. Moving it toward the center of the wall reduces the output. • If the opening faces the wall, it further increases the bass. If it faces away, it decreases the bass. For the most bass response, place the opening 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) from a wall or corner. • Stand the module vertically or horizontally (Figure 6). Attach the large set of rubber feet to the bottom surface. If you plan to stand the module on the cable connection end, do not use the module end cover, but be sure to attach the large rubber feet to protect the connections. 8 October 29, 2001 AM25212_02_V.pdf
