Powered Acoustimass module Bose® Acoustimass speaker technology takes advantage of the fact that the source of pure bass sound is difficult to locate, so you can hide the powered Acoustimass module conveniently out of sight. Place the module at the same end of the room as the television monitor. Connect the wire pair marked LEFT to the left front cube speaker. Plug the other end of each cable into the Center Front, Right Front, and Left Front blue RCA jacks, respectively, on the Acoustimass® module. 2. 4. Connecting rear cube speakers to the Acoustimass module Each rear cube speaker is connected to the Acoustimass module with a 50-foot (15 m) speaker cable (Figure 5). Be sure to match the correct cable with the corresponding speaker location. Rear speaker cables have orange RCA connectors at one end with LR (left rear) and RR (right rear) molded into the connectors. The other ends of the cables have two wires. The red collars on the + wires are labeled LEFT REAR and RIGHT REAR. Connect the wire pair marked RIGHT REAR to the right rear cube speaker (on your right as you face the TV). Press the terminal tab on the back of the cube speaker. Insert the marked (+) wire into the red terminal and the plain (­) wire into the black terminal. Connect the wire pair marked LEFT REAR to the left rear cube speaker. Plug the other end of each cable into the Right Rear and Left Rear orange RCA jacks, respectively, on the Acoustimass module. 2. 3. 9 Setting Up Connecting the Acoustimass® module to the receiver The 20-foot (6. 1 m) system input cable connects the module to your surround receiver (see Figure 6). The system input cable has a multi-pin connector on one end and several wire pairs on the other. The wire pairs of the cable may be separated or "unzipped" as much as needed to comfortably reach the surround receiver connections. Each wire pair is marked on the cable jacket with RIGHT, LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT SURROUND or LEFT SURROUND to indicate where each wire connects to the receiver. CAUTION: Before making any connections turn off your receiver and unplug it from the AC (mains) outlet. Not doing so may result in damage to your system.
