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.
