Unpacking
Unpack the carton carefully. Save the carton and packing materi-
als for possible later use. If either speaker appears damaged, do
not operate either one. Repack both speakers in the original car-
ton and notify your authorized Bose@ dealer immediately.
Placing your Bose 16 1 TM speakers
J Note: Your 161 speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent
interference with most television screens.
For best acoustic performance, place the left channel speaker on
the left side of the room and the right channel speaker on the
right, at least 5 feet (1.5 m) apart. (Refer to the label on the back of
each speaker.) Make sure the back of each speaker is parallel to
the front wall.
For rear channel use in a home theater surround sound system,
put the speakers near the back of the room, behind or to the sides
of the listening area.
Attach the supplied self-adhesive feet to the bottom surface of
each speaker for greater stability (Figure 1).
If you want to mount your speakers using the supplied wall
brackets, see “Mounting your speakers on a wall” on page 6.

CAUTION: Do not install near any heat sources, such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifi-
ers) that produce heat.
Choosing speaker cord
Be sure to use the proper gauge (thickness) of speaker cord. Stan-
dard zip cord (2-conductor, 18-gauge [0.75 mm’] wire found at
electrical and hardware stores) works for most applications. If the
length of speaker wire extends more than 30 feet (9 m) from a
receiver or amplifier, refer to “Wire recommendations” on page 7
or contact your authorized Bose dealer for more information.
A
CAUTION: Before making any connections, turn off your receiver
or amplifier and unplug it from the outlet (the AC power mains).
