SYSTEM PLACEMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
To avoid wireless interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 – 3 ft. (0.3 – 0.9 m) away from the wireless receivers. Place the speakers and wireless receivers outside and away from metal cabinets, other audio/video components and direct heat sources.
COMPONENT | PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS |
Rear speakers | Place the speakers on their rubber feet on a stable and level surface. Place the speakers at ear height or higher in the back of the room. If placing the speakers in an enclosed bookcase shelf, position them at the front edge of the shelf. For a sound that is directed straight at the listener, aim the speakers in towards the listener. For a sound that reflects off the walls to fill the room, aim the speakers out towards a rear or side wall. |
Wireless receivers | Confirm that the switch on one wireless receiver is set to R (right). Confirm that the switch on the other wireless receiver is set to L (left). Facing the TV, place the speaker and R wireless receiver on the right side of the room. Facing the TV, place the speaker and L wireless receiver on the left side of the room. Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet near each wireless receiver. |

You can mount the speakers on wall brackets, ceiling mounts, floor stands or table stands. To purchase these accessories, visit Bose.com or contact your local Bose dealer.
CAUTION: Only use Bose hardware to mount the speakers. Using unauthorized mounts may damage your Bose system and its components.
