Bose directly. Refer to the Bose address list included with your system.
The instructions in this section tell you how to connect your system as shown in Figure 1. For
alternate system connections, see “Using alternate system connections” on page 23.

System Installation Instructions
Placing your speakers
When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reflected
and direct sound provides the audio atmosphere of a home theater. You may experiment with
the placement and orientation of the speakers to produce the sound most pleasing to you.
CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your speakers. Vibration can cause the
speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished
wood. If you are placing the center speaker on top of the television, attach the rubber feet
provided to the bottom of the speaker. You may obtain additional rubber feet by contacting
Bose® customer service. Refer to the Bose address list included with your system.
Note: Do not place a cube speaker on its side, as this diminishes performance.
Left and right front speaker placement
To best match sound and picture, the left and right front speakers should be placed at the
edge of the TV picture (Figure 3).
• Place the speakers up to 3 feet (1 m) from the edge of the TV screen and line them up with
the center of the TV screen.
2
Bose recommends a maximum distance of 3 feet (1 m) from the edge of the TV screen so
that the sound does not become too separated from the picture. You may wish to vary this
distance based on room conditions and personal preference. The front cables allow the
cube speakers to be placed up to 20 feet (6.1 m) from the Acoustimass® module.
• Direct one cube of each speaker array forward. Direct the other cube toward the wall or in a
different direction to create reflected sound. See the illustration of reflected sound patterns
in Figure 4 on page 8.
