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.

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
