Setting Up

Before you begin

Bose® Virtually Invisible® speaker technology allows you to enjoy lifelike home performances from the very latest surround-sound encoded movies, CDs, and television shows, without a room full of speakers.

Your stereo VCR or stereo television sends the encoded program material to the surround- sound receiver, which interprets it by distributing various sounds to particular speakers. Although the sound mix varies with different types of programs, dialogue is usually sent to the center speaker while sounds from the left or right side of the picture go to the left or right front speakers. Ambient sounds and special effects are directed to one or both of the sur- round (rear) speakers. The unique, easy-to-hide Acoustimass® module delivers bass for all channels. At any point in surround-sound performance, you may hear sound from all or just a few of the speakers.

To select surround-encoded program material, look for any of the terms Surround, Dolby

Surround, and the double-D symbol * on tapes and discs, and the word “surround” preceding a TV broadcast. Your Acoustimass 10 Series II home theater speakers are also compatible with Dolby Digital* (also known as AC-3) receivers and program material. The special settings for Dolby Pro-Logic and Dolby Digital receivers are described on

page 13.

You can also enjoy a wide variety of stereo programming that is not surround-encoded with your Acoustimass 10 Series II speakers. Simply adjust your receiver accordingly.
