Setting Up

Acoustimass® module

Follow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module.

Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least 18 inches (45 cm) from the TV.

1.Place the Acoustimass module along the same the wall or close to the same end of the room as the Jewel Cube® speakers (see the example along the front wall in Figure 3).

2.Select a convenient location – under a table, behind a sofa. Do not allow furniture or drapes to block the ventilation openings of the module.

3.Place the Acoustimass module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and an AC power (mains) outlet.

4.Select a position for the Acoustimass module (Figure 4). For proper ventilation, place it on the long edge, with the connectors facing the floor. An alternate position is on its largest side, with the bass and treble controls facing up. Do not place the module on either end, as shown by the last two views in Figure 4.

5.Once you have selected a position for the module, place the four self-adhesive rubber feet near the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased stability and protection from scratches.

6.Aim the port (the round opening) into the room or along the wall to avoid blocking the port or creating too much bass.

7.For best bass performance, do not place the port at equal distances from any two walls or from a wall and the ceiling.

CAUTION: Do not cover the ventilation openings of the Acoustimass module. The slots on the end provide ventilation for the built-in electronic circuitry, and should not be blocked.

CAUTION: The magnetic field from the Acoustimass module is not an immediate risk to your video tapes, audio tapes, and other magnetic media. However, you should not store tapes directly on or near the Acoustimass module.

Multi-room interface

Select a location for the multi-room interface. It may be placed out of sight if you like.

1.Place the multi-room interface within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustimass module (the length of the audio input cable).

2.Place the multi-room interface close enough to the sound sources (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.) to allow for cable length. If you need additional audio and/or video cables to connect all of your components, see your dealer or call Bose® Customer Service.
