Select the locations for your speaker system (cont.)

Acoustimass® module location

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

1.Place the module along the same wall as the speakers, if possible.

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 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 3). 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 3.

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.

Before making connections, unplug your system

It is important that you unplug your Lifestyle® system or other music source before making any connections.

Selecting the correct voltage

If you purchased a dual voltage product, please be sure that your speakers are set to the correct voltage for your geographical area. Use the adapter plug provided when appropriate.

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.

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