Setting Up

Before you begin

Thank you for choosing Bose® home theater speakers. Both the VCS-10®center speaker and the VCS-30®Series II center/sur- round speaker system are engineered specifically for use with video soundtracks. They are designed to make the most of audio for video (A/V) surround sound receivers or amplifiers with five amplified speaker outputs.

In either package you purchased, there is a center speaker. Its magnetic shielding allows you to put this speaker directly on, above, or below your video screen without causing screen discol- oration. There it will deliver clear, crisp soundtrack reproduction from the center channel. Other speakers at the front of your room provide the left and right video sound.

In additon to one center speaker, the VCS-30 Series II system includes two surround speakers. They are designed for use at the rear of your room. Advanced design brackets included in this package make the surround speakers simple to mount on a wall.

Please read and follow the instructions in this guide. They will help you set up and use your new home theater speakers for the fullest listening and viewing enjoyment.

Unpack the carton

Carefully unpack the carton and save all packing materials for possible future use. Inspect the contents (Figure 1, A or B).

If any speaker appears damaged, do not use it. Instead, repack all parts in the original carton and notify Bose or your authorized Bose dealer immediately.

Note: Now is a good time to record the serial numbers found on the back of each speaker. Write them on your warranty card and on page 3 of this owner’s guide.
