Checking

Your

System

After

your

system

is

playing,

you

may

perform

this

test

to

help

you

make

sure

that

it's

working

properly:

A.

Turn

the

balance

control

on

your

receiver

or

amplifier

completely

to

the

left.

If

you

have

connected

the

speakers

properly,

you

will

hear

music

from

the

left

speaker,

but

not

the

ght

one.

Nod,

the

balance

control

completely

from

the

right

speaker,

but

not

the

left

C.

Return

the

balance

control

to

the

ak

Play

a

selection

turn

the

balance

all

the

way

to

the

right

and

listen.

If

the

system

is

connected

properly,

the

center

position

should

exhibit

the

same

or

greater

bass

response

than

either

the

left

-only

or

right

-only

position.

If

it

less,

then

your

to

the

Acoustimass

•

Using

Your

System

Propedy

Once

your

system

is

set

up

and

connected

properly,

it

will

require very

littleattention.

However,

observing

the

following

guidelines

will

help

you

get

the

most

from

your

investment.

Power

Handling

The

Bose"

Acoustimass

Bass

System

incorporates

a

unique

protection

circuit

that

automatically

reduces

the

system

volume

if

safe

input

levels

are

exceeded.

This

will

automatically

reset

once

the

input

level

is

reduced.

This

system

will

guard

against

most

types

of

potential

damage,

however,

any

speaker

may

be

damaged

if

the

amplifier

in

use

fails.

This

type

of

damage

is

not

covered

by

your

warranty.

Fusing

To

provide

your

speaker

system

with

additional

protection

against

amplifier

failure,

we

recommend

fusing,

as

follows:

1.

Insert

a

fuse

holder

"inline"

between

the

"+"

terminal

of

the

left

input

on

the

Acoustimass

Bass

System

and

the

"+"

terminal

of

the

left

output

on

your

receiver

or

amplifier.

2.

Repeat

Step

1

for

the

right

channel.

3.

Insert

fuses

into

the

fuse

holders;

the

fusing

protection

system

is

now

complete.

We

recommend

that

you

use

a

1.5

ampere,

fast

-blow

AGC

Series

or

Littelfuse

AG

Series

fuse.
