Setting Up Connect the speakers Note: You can refer to Figure 12 on page 12 for an overview of the completed connections. The supplied cables make it easy for you to connect your system. Each cable connector is colored gray or black and embossed with a letter to identify the cube speaker, the output, or the input it matches. The connections at the Acoustimass® module are already made for you. There are three sets of cables, joined together to form ribbons, which may be separated or "unzipped" as needed to comfortably reach the speakers (Figure 9). Separate the cables as you are laying out the cable lengths. However, you may want to keep the unextended length of cable joined, making it easier to hide. CAUTION: Before making any connections turn off your receiver or amplifier and unplug it from the outlet (AC power mains). Not doing so may result in damage to your system. Figure 9 Separating cables • The 20 foot (6 m) cable with three pairs of wires connects the Acoustimass module to the center, left front, and right front cube speakers. • The 50 foot (15 m) cable with two pairs of wires connects the Acoustimass module to the left and right surround cube speakers. • The 20 foot (6 m) cable with five pairs of wires connects the Acoustimass module to the outputs on the receiver. Separate these wires just enough to reach the connectors. Note: If you have already installed cable behind walls or under floors, or believe you need to splice the supplied cables for any other reason, inquire about the add-on connectors and extension cable available from Bose® Customer Service. Refer to page 17 for details on these accessories. Bose Customer Service telephone numbers are listed on the inside back cover. CAUTION: Never use broken or frayed wiring, which can result in electrical shock or damage to your system. The supplied cables are not intended for in-wall installation. Connect the Acoustimass module to the center and front cube speakers Use the 20 foot (6 m) cable with three pairs of wires to connect the Acoustimass module to L/R the center and front cube speakers. Just press the custom connectors into place. • The gray connector goes into the gray terminal on the center speaker (Figure 10). • The black connector marked L goes into the black terminal on the left front speaker (to the left of the TV as you face it). C/S L/R C • The black connector marked R goes into the black terminal on the right front speaker. Figure 10 Inserting gray connector marked C into the gray terminal marked C/S CAUTION: Never connect the cubes directly to the receiver. Always connect the cube speakers to the Acoustimass module, then connect the Acoustimass module to the receiver. 10 December 20, 2001 AM189815_04_V.pdf
