System Setup Figure 5 Placement of the small speakers near a flat wall or in a corner position • Place the speakers on top or to the left and right of your TV (Figure 5) and at roughly equal distance from it. Left Right Note: The speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference when they are on or near the TV. • Try to maintain at least 3 feet (1 meter) of space between the two speakers. • Place the speakers no more than 3 feet (1 meter) from the edges of the TV screen. Bose recommends a maximum distance of 3 feet from each speaker to the edge of the TV screen to prevent the sound from becoming too separated from the picture. You may vary this distance, however, based on room conditions and your personal preference. • Keep both speakers at approximately the same height. Selecting a location for the Acoustimass® module The Acoustimass module is designed to be the unseen part of this system. It can be placed under or behind furniture, for example, and contribute to the lifelike sound you hear from the speakers without being detected. Make sure your choice is both convenient and safe Place the module in a location that is convenient (under a table, behind a sofa or chair, screened by drapes) but roomy enough for ventilation from the rear panel. Consider the guidelines below when choosing a location. Place the module on a flat surface where it is: • within reach of an AC (mains) power outlet • no more than 15 feet (4.6 meters) from the Interface module • at the same end of the room as the TV and speakers • a minimum of 3 feet (1 meter) from the TV to prevent interference from the module, which is not magnetically shielded (Figure 6 on page 9) 8 AM267190_00_V_pdf • July 24, 2002
