Connect the speakers and Lifestyle® music center

Once you have selected locations for your speakers and music center, connect the system.

Connecting the Jewel CubeTM speakers to the Acoustimass® module

1.Insert the connector of each speaker cable fully into the jack on the rear of each speaker (Figure 4). Match the ridge of the connector to the notch at the top of the jack.

2.Connect each 20-foot (6.1 m) cable to the corresponding left or right green jack on the Acoustimass module. Speaker cables have green connectors at one end, with L (left) and R (right) molded into the connectors.

To lengthen the cable, connect speaker wire with male phono (RCA) plugs on each end to your supplied speaker cable. Use a female-to-female adapter (“barrel” connector). Or, splice in 18-gauge (.75 mm2) or thicker cord (connecting + to + and – to –). To purchase extension wire, see your dealer, electronics store, or call Bose® customer service.

Connecting the Acoustimass module to the Lifestyle® music center

Connect the Acoustimass module to the music center with the audio input cable (Figure 5).

1.Plug the small black multi-pin connector into the jack marked SPEAKER ZONE 1 on the back of the music center.

2.Insert the right-angle multi-pin connector on the other end of the audio input cable into the AUDIO INPUT jack on the Acoustimass module. Align the connector at the angle shown in Figure 5.

Note:Be sure that each connector is inserted completely into each jack.

3.Extend the audio input cable as much as possible, since it includes an antenna for the remote control.

For information on connecting zone 2, see “Using two listening zones” on pages 19-20.

CAUTION:

Make sure all components of your system are unplugged from the AC power (mains) source before you begin connecting them.
