distributing various sounds to particular speakers Although the sound mix varies with

different types

sound

The center speaker localizes action and dialogue on your screen Sound from the center

speaker should seem

The left and right front speakers create asound image wider than the screen that seems

natural

The surround speakers add subtle sounds and special effects that expand the visual image,

bringing the viewer into the center

the action The surround speakers should be positioned

allow the sound

reach the viewer from both sides, rather than from directly behind

You

can place the front and center speakers near a

screen with no picture interference,

because all

the cube speakers are magnetically shielded

The Acoustimass module is not magnetically shielded and should be at least 2feet

(60

cm)

from your screen, but at the same end

the room as the front and center speakers

Bose®

Acoustimass speaker technology takes advantage

the fact that the source

bass sound

is difficult

locate, so you can hide the Acoustimass module conveniently out of sight

Placing it near acorner increases bass output trom the module
