System Installation

Placing your media center

Note: Now is a good time to ﬁnd the serial number on the bottom of the media center, before

you proceed. Copy that number onto your warranty card and in the space provided on

page 2 of this guide.

Select a location for the media center, keeping in mind the following guidelines:

• Do not block the front of the media center. Make sure you allow enough room to lift up the

front cover and open the CD tray of the CD/DVD player. Also, position the media center so

that you can clearly view the display window to the right of the CD tray cover. See Figure 6

for a description of the front of the media center.

• Place the media center close enough to other sound sources (TV and VCR) to allow for easy

cable connections. If you need additional audio and/or video cables to connect all of your

components, see your dealer or call Bose

customer service. Refer to the Bose address list

included with your system.

• Place the media center within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustimass

module (the length of the

audio input cable).

Note: For convenience, until your system is completely installed and tested, keep the media

center where you have easy access to its rear connection panel.

Connecting the speakers to the Acoustimass

module

Note: Before you start making system connections, make sure that the media center, the

Acoustimass module, and any additional equipment are not connected to AC power.

Note: To lengthen the speaker cables, use heavy-duty RCA extension cables, or splice in 18-

gauge or thicker cord (connecting + to + and – to –). To purchase extension cables, see your

dealer or electronics store, or call Bose

customer service. Refer to the Bose address list

included with your system.

In Figure 7, the wire marked with a red collar is positive (+) and the plain one is negative (–).

These wires match the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals on the back of each

speaker.

Note: The surround speaker cables are joined together for your convenience, providing an

easy-to-use cable for connecting the surround speakers. To run the cables in different direc-

tions from the Acoustimass module, simply pull apart the cables as needed.

Front door – Make sure you have

enough room to lift up this door.

Disc tray – Make sure nothing blocks this tray as it slides

open for you to insert a disc.

Display window – Make sure you can view

this information while using your system.
