System Setup
Placing the speakers
Choosing a good location for the speakers will allow you to experience the audio surround
effects that your 3•2•1 home entertainment system is designed to deliver.
• Place the two speakers either on top of the TV or at equal distance from the left and right of
the TV screen (Figure 2). Keep both speakers at approximately the same height.
• Place each speaker within 3 feet (1 meter) of the edge of the TV screen. Placing the
speakers more than 3 feet away from the TV can cause the sound to become separated
from the picture.
• If you are using a bookshelf or a home entertainment unit, place each speaker at the
front edge of its shelf
.
Positioning the speakers too far back in an enclosed space can
change the overall quality of sound and alter the movie sound effects.
• Place the speakers at least 3 feet (1 meter) apart from each other to optimize the
surround sound experience.
CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for both speakers. Vibration can cause the speak-
ers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. If you
are placing the speakers on a flat surface, be sure to attach the smaller of the two sets of sup-
plied rubber feet to the bottom surface. You may obtain additional rubber feet (part number
178321) from Bose

Recommended speaker
placement
• Place the speakers only on their bottom surfaces, with the Bose logo right-side up.
• Aim the speakers straight ahead toward the listening area. Do not place the speakers at an
angle. Angling one or both speakers into or away from the listening area signifi-
cantly alters system performance.
