Connecting your system
Once you have selected locations for your speakers, CD changer, and interface, connect the
system.
CAUTION: Make sure all components are unplugged from the power outlet before you
begin hooking up the system.
Connecting the Jewel Cube ® speakers to the Acoustimass ®
module
1. Match each cable to the corresponding speaker location.
• Front speaker cables have blue RCA connectors at one end, with L, R, or C molded
into both the RCA connectors and the Jewel Cube connectors at the other end.
• Surround speaker cables have orange RCA connectors at one end, with L or R molded
into both the RCA connectors and the Jewel Cube connectors at the other end.
2. Insert the Jewel Cube connector of each cable fully into the jack on the rear of one of the
five speakers (Figure 7). Match the ridge of the connector to the notch at the top of the
jack.
3. Connect each cable to the corresponding jack on the Acoustimass module (Figure 8).
• Plug the blue connectors into the matching left front, center, and right front jacks.
• Plug the orange connectors into the matching left surround and right surround jacks.
To lengthen the cable, connect speaker wire with male phono (RCA) plugs on each end to
your supplied speaker cable. Use a female-to-female adapter (“barrel” connector). Or, splice
in 18-gauge (.75 mm
2 ) or thicker cord (connecting + to + and – to –). To purchase extension
wire, see your dealer or electronics store, or call Bose ® Customer Service.
