Positioning the speakers
Choosing a good location for the speakers will allow you to experience the audio surround
effects that your 3•2•1 GSX home entertainment system is designed to deliver.
• Place the left and right speakers at least 3 feet (1 meter) apart from each other to opti-
mize the surround sound experience (Figure 3).
• Place each speaker within 3 feet (1 meter) of the edge of the TV screen. Placing the
speakers more than 3 feet away from the TV can cause the sound to become separated
from the picture.
• If you are using a bookshelf or a home entertainment unit, place each speaker at the
front edge of its shelfPositioning the speakers too far back in an enclosed space can
change the overall quality of sound and alter the movie sound effects.
CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for both speakers. Vibration can cause the speak-
ers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. If you
are placing the speakers on a flat surface, be sure to attach one set of the small rubber feet to the
bottom surface of each speaker. You can obtain additional rubber feet (PN 178321) from Bose®
Customer Service. To contact Bose, refer to the list of offices included in the product carton.
Note: The speakers can be mounted on Bose brackets, table stands, or floor stands. For order-
ing information, refer to “Accessories” on page 65. Additional or longer cables may also be
ordered.

S
et the speakers on their bottom surfaces, only, with the Bose logo right-side up.
• Aim the speakers straight ahead into the listening area. Do not place the speakers at an
angle. Angling one or both speakers into or away from the listening area signifi-
cantly alters system performance.
