Setting Up
Connect the speakers and music center
Once you have selected locations for your speakers and music center, connect the system.
Connecting the Jewel Cube
®
speakers to the Acoustimass
®
module
1. Match each cable to the corresponding speaker location.
• Front speaker cables have blue RCA connectors at one end, with L, R, or C molded
into both the RCA connectors and the Jewel Cube connectors at the other end.
• Surround speaker cables have orange RCA connectors at one end, with L or R
molded into both the RCA connectors and the Jewel Cube connectors at the other
end.
2. Insert the Jewel Cube connector of each cable fully into the jack on the rear of one of
the five speakers (Figure 5). Match the ridge of the connector to the notch at the top of
the jack.
3. Connect each cable to the corresponding jack on the Acoustimass module.
a. Plug the blue connectors into the matching left front, center, and right front jacks.
b. Plug the orange connectors into the matching left surround and right surround jacks.
To lengthen the cable, connect speaker wire with male phono (RCA) plugs on each end to
your supplied speaker cable. Use a female-to-female adapter (“barrel” connector). Or, splice
in 18-gauge (.75 mm
2
) or thicker cord (conn to + and – to –). To purchase extension
wire, see your dealer, electronics store, or call Bose
®
customer service.
Connecting the Acoustimass module to the music center
Connect the module to the music center with the audio input cable (Figure 6).
1. Plug the small black multi-pin connector (flat side facing up) into the jack marked
SPEAKER ZONE 1 on the back of the music center.
2. Insert the right-angle multi-pin connector on the other end of the audio input cable into
the AUDIO INPUT jack on the module. Align the connector at the angle shown in Figure 6.
Note:
Be sure that each connector is inserted completely into each jack.
3. Extend the audio input cable as much as possible, since it includes an antenna for the
remote control.
For information on connecting zone 2, see “Using two listening zones” on pages 23-24.
CAUTION:
Make sure all components are
unplugged from the power
outlet before you begin
connecting the system.
