Physical Setup
Monitor placement
and connections
The monitor can be placed on furniture, using the attached
stand, or it can be mounted on a wall.
WARNING:
The 46 in. monitor weighs 120 lbs. (54 kg). The
55 in. monitor weighs 135 lbs. (61 kg). To prevent personal injury,
a two-person lift is required.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not mount or place the monitor in a recessed area or
cabinet. This can block the ventilation openings and affect the
acoustic performance.
• If the VideoWave system is mounted over a fireplace, it must
be placed over a mantle that is a minimum of 6 in. (15.3 cm)
deep to protect the system from overheating.
Monitor placement recommendations
Much like a live performance in a concert hall, the Bose
®
VideoWave
®
III entertainment system relies on the reflective sur-
faces of the room to deliver a spacious home theater experience.
The system features ADAPTiQ
®
audio calibration technology,
which customizes the sound during setup based on where the
system is positioned, as well as the size, shape, and furnishings
of the room it is in.
The following recommendations help you place the monitor in
the best possible location:
• The back of the monitor should be approximately
1– 4 in. (2.5 –10.0 cm) from a wall.
• Allow 3–10 ft. (0.9 –3.0 m) between the monitor and the side
walls of the room.
• Allow at least 8 in. (20 cm) of clearance from the top of the
monitor to any surface above (such as a shelf) to allow for
proper ventilation and acoustic performance.
• The area between the side walls and the monitor should be
free of as many objects as possible that would block the
sound, such as tall bookcases and storage cabinets.
• To enjoy the best audio and video performance, position the
vertical center of the screen at eye level when seated.
