Selecting the locations for your Lifestyle® powered speaker system

Follow these guidelines to select locations for your Lifestyle® speakers:

Place the left and right speakers in their respective locations in your room. You can put these compact speakers in just about any room and location, such as a bookcase, desk, or in your kitchen. Be sure to place them close to an AC power (mains) outlet. To avoid interference with your TV picture, allow at least 9 inches (23 cm) of clearance between the speakers and the TV screen. Optional Bose ceiling and wall-mount brackets offer even greater placement flexibility. See page 15 for details.

WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bags out of the reach of children.

CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your speakers. Vibration can cause the speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. For additional stability, you can add rubber feet to your speakers. You may obtain rubber feet (PN 178321-04) free of charge from Bose. Contact Bose customer service for more information.

Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.
