Setting Up

Checking the connections

Check all connections from the receiver to the powered Acoustimass

module and from the

module to the cube speakers (Figure 5 and Figure 6). Make sure the cube speakers are con-

Connecting the Acoustimass module to power

Note:

Bose

recommends using a quality surge suppressor on all electronics equipment.

Voltage variations and spikes can damage electronic components in any system. A quality

suppressor can eliminate the vast majority of failures attributed to surges and may be pur-

chased at an electronics store.

After you have checked all system connections, plug the power cord of the powered Acousti-

mass module into an AC (mains) receptacle. Your Acoustimass speaker system will turn on

and off automatically as it receives a signal from your surround receiver.
