System Setup

Placing the Acoustimass® module

Place the Acoustimass® module within reach of the cable from the music center and an AC (mains) power outlet.

Place the module at the same end of the room as the TV and the speakers (Figure 4).

Keep the module at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the TV to prevent the module from interfering with the TV screen.

Recommended Acoustimass module placement

3 ft (1 m) minimum

• Attach the medium-sized rubber feet to the bottom of each foot on the module. The rubber feet provide increased stability and protection from scratches.

Choose a convenient location such as under a table, behind a sofa or chair, or behind drapes, but do not block the port opening.

Aim the port of the module into the room or along the wall. This prevents a blocked port or over-powering bass.

Stand the Acoustimass module on its feet. Do not lay it on its side or stand it on either end (Figure 5).

Recommended orientation of the module

CAUTION: Do not block the openings on the back of the module, which provide ventilation for the built-in circuitry.

CAUTION: The Acoustimass module generates a magnetic field. Although this is not an immedi- ate risk to your video tapes, audio tapes, and other magnetic media, you should not store any of these items directly on or near the module.
