Setting Up

Connect the speakers and Lifestyle® music center

Once you have selected locations for your music system, connect the speakers.

CAUTION: Make sure all components are unplugged from the power outlet before you begin hooking up the system.

Connecting the cube speaker arrays to the Acoustimass® module

Each speaker cable contains two wires. The wire marked with a red collar is positive (+) and the plain one is negative (–). These wires match the positive (red) and negative (black) termi- nals on the back of each speaker. To lengthen the cable, use standard RCA extension cables or splice in 18-gauge or thicker cord (connecting + to + and – to –). To purchase cables, see your dealer, electronics store, or call Bose® customer service.

1.Match the correct cable to the corresponding speaker location.

•Speaker cables have blue connectors at one end, with L and R molded into the connectors.

•The red collars on the + wire are labeled LEFT and RIGHT.

2.Connect the wire end of one speaker cable to the terminals on the rear of the matching cube speaker array.

a.Push each terminal tab down, then insert the end of the appropriate wire into the exposed hole. Release the tab to secure the wire. Connect each wire to its correspond- ing terminal positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative (– to –).

b.Repeat this step for each of the cube speaker arrays. (See Figure 4.)

CAUTION: Make sure no strands of wire from any terminal touch any other terminal.
