SETTING UP

Before you begin

We appreciate your choice of the Bose®Acoustimass®6 Series III or Acoustimass 10

Series IV home entertainment speaker system.

The Acoustimass 6 features five small cube speakers, while the Acoustimass 10 system

features four cube speaker arrays and a center front speaker. These speakers, together with

the Acoustimass module, reproduce the full spectrum of multi-channel digital programming

for a powerful and realistic home theater experience.

Unpacking the carton

Carefully unpack the carton contents (Figure 1):

1. Remove the brown inner carton containing the small speakers.

2. Gently roll the carton onto its side and pull out the Acoustimass module.

WARNING: To avoid injury, use care in lifting the module, which weighs roughly 30 lb (14 kg).

Figure 1

Carton contents

Now is a good time to record the serial number of these speakers on your warranty card.

Please save all packing materials for possible future use.

WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bags that wrap these speakers out

of the reach of children.

English FrançaisEspañol

Placing your speakers to achieve realistic home theater sound

Keep these guidelines in mind when choosing a location for each speaker:

• The Acoustimass®module should be at least 2 feet (.6 m) from your TV set to prevent

interference.

• All of the small speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with a TV picture.

• Select a stable and level surface for each of the small speakers.

Vibration can cause them to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or

highly polished wood. To prevent this problem, rubber feet are provided for attachment to

the bottom of the center front speaker.

Note: You may order additional rubber feet, free of charge, by contacting Bose. Refer to the

address list included in the carton.

• In an Acoustimass 10 system, the center front speaker is for use at the front of the room

and near the center of your TV. The other cube array speakers are identical and can be

placed interchangeably around the room (Figure 2a and 2b).

• The top and bottom cube on each cube array speaker can be rotated to create

room-filling sound patterns.

• In the Acoustimass 6 system, all five single cube speakers are identical and can be placed

interchangeably around the room (Figure 2c and 2d).

The shape and size of your room and location of the furniture in it will affect your choice of

speaker locations. Use the examples below as the basis, but not the rule, for your home

theater setup.

Front left and right speakers

The goal for these is to create a sound image wider than the screen that seems natural to

viewers sitting anywhere in the room.

• Place these two front speakers on either side of your TV.

• Keep them from 6 feet (2 m) to 15 feet (5 m) apart (as shown in Figure 2 on page 5).

Center speaker

Sound from the center speaker should seem to come from within the picture to give the most

realistic performance of on-screen action and dialogue.

• Place the center speaker above, on top of, or below your TV. Do NOT rest the weight of the

TV on the speaker.

• Keep the speaker in line with the vertical center of the screen, if possible, for the most

accurate reproduction of dialogue (as shown in Figure 2 on page 5).

CAUTION: Before placing the center speaker on top of your television, attach the four supplied

rubber feet to the bottom of the speaker. Position two of the feet near the front edge and close

together on the bottom surface. Place the other two feet at the rear outer edges on the bottom.

Rear speakers

While the rear (surround) speakers may deliver some dialogue, they serve primarily to !

deliver discrete sounds and special effects that expand the visual image. They help bring the

viewer into the center of the action.

Choose locations that are practical and convenient, while considering these recommended

guidelines:

• Position the left and right rear speakers so they can deliver sound on both sides of the

viewer, rather than from directly behind (as shown in Figure 2 on page 5).

• Place these speakers at the same height as the ears of a seated viewer or higher.

•For the Acoustimass®10 system, rotate the top and bottom sections of the rear cube

speaker arrays to direct the sound to the front and back of the listener (see Figure 3 on

page 7).

•For the Acoustimass 6 system, aim the rear cube speakers slightly behind the listener or

reflect the sound off the rear wall (see Figure 2 on page 5).

Powered Acoustimass®module

Acoustimass®speaker technology makes it difficult to locate the source of low-frequency

sound from this module. So feel free to hide it from view, and:

• Locate the module at the same end of the room as the TV screen.

• Keep the module at least 2 feet (.6 m) from your TV set to prevent interference.

• To increase bass effects, turn the front opening toward a wall; turn it away from the wall to

decrease bass effects.

• Keep both the front opening and the ventilation grille on the bottom of the module at least 2

inches (5 cm) from any other surface.

• Do not block the ventilation grilles located on the bottom of the module.!

Impeding ventilation can cause a reduction in the bass-frequency output from the module.

Making the connections

Only the Acoustimass module connects to your receiver. The small speakers all connect

directly to the Acoustimass module.

WARNING: Connecting the small speakers to a receiver can result in damage to your system

and possible electric shock.

Connecting speakers to the Acoustimass module

Insert the connector on each speaker cable into the jack on the module. Refer to the label on

each connector to match it to the proper jack.

1. Use the supplied 20-ft (6.1 m) speaker cables for the three front speakers.

Insert the connectors, as labeled, into jacks on the module as follows!

(Figure 5 on page 8).

• R goes into the jack labeled Right Front.

• C goes into the jack labeled Center Front.

• L goes into the jack labeled Left Front.

2. Use the supplied 50-ft (15.2 m) speaker cables for the speakers at the rear of your room

(Figure 5).

Insert them into the jacks on the module as follows:

• RR goes into the jack labeled Right Rear.

• LR goes into the jack labeled Left Rear.

3. At the other end of each cable, insert the red-collared (+) wire into the red (+) terminal on

one speaker. Insert the other wire into the other terminal (Figure 5).

Notice a label on each red-collared wire that matches it to the proper speaker:

• L for the speaker at the left front • LR for the speaker at the left rear

• R for the speaker at the right front • RR for the speaker at the right rear

• C for the speaker at the center front

Connecting the Acoustimass®module to the receiver

The system input cable is 20 feet (6.1 m) long and connects to your surround receiver. Unlike

the speaker cables, this input cable has a multi-pin connector that inserts into the Audio Input

jack on the module (Figure 6).

Figure 6

At the other end of the system input cable, multiple wire pairs “unzip” for easy reach and

insertion into terminals on your receiver. A red collar marks a wire as positive (+) wire.

CAUTION: Do NOT connect your module to the TV, which lacks the required amplification.

The single RCA connector at that end is for use ONLY with a receiver that handles !

low-frequency effects and provides an LFE/SUBWOOFER jack (Figure 7).

CAUTION: Before making these connections, turn off your receiver to prevent unwanted noises

when you plug the Acoustimass®module into it.

To make the connections (Figure 8 on page 10):

1. Insert the multi-pin connector on the system input cable into the input jack on the !

Acoustimass module. Tighten the two thumbscrews to secure the connection.

2. Connect each wire pair on the other end of the system input cable to your surround

receiver, which should have audio output terminals labeled:

• Right, Left, and Center for the front audio channels.

• Right Surround and Left Surround for the rear channels. !

The specific labels on your receiver may differ slightly.

CAUTION: Do not allow exposed wires to brush against each other; this could damage your

receiver.

3. Carefully match the polarity of the connections (+ to + and – to –).

• Attach each red-collared wire (+) to the appropriate + terminal.

• Attach each plain wire (–) to the appropriate – terminal.

4. If applicable to your receiver, insert the RCA plug marked LFE on the system input cable

into the LFE/SUBWOOFER OUT jack on your surround receiver. Remove the cover first.
