Setting Up
Before you begin
Thank you for choosing Bose
®
home theater speakers. Both the
VCS-10
®
center speaker and the VCS-30
®
Series II center/sur-
round speaker system are engineered specifically for use with
video soundtracks. They are designed to make the most of audio
for video (A/V) surround sound receivers or amplifiers with five
amplified speaker outputs.
In either package you purchased, there is a center speaker. Its
magnetic shielding allows you to put this speaker directly on,
above, or below your video screen without causing screen discol
-
oration. There it will deliver clear, crisp soundtrack reproduction
from the center channel. Other speakers at the front of your room
provide the left and right video sound.
In additon to one center speaker, the VCS-30 Series II system
includes two surround speakers. They are designed for use at the
rear of your room. Advanced design brackets included in this
package make the surround speakers simple to mount on a wall.
Please read and follow the instructions in this guide. They will help
you set up and use your new home theater speakers for the fullest
listening and viewing enjoyment.
Unpack the carton
Carefully unpack the carton and save all packing materials for
possible future use. Inspect the contents (
Figure 1, A or B).
If any speaker appears damaged, do not use it. Instead, repack all
parts in the original carton and notify Bose or your authorized
Bose dealer immediately.
Note: Now is a good time to record the serial numbers found on
the back of each speaker. Write them on your warranty card and
on page 3 of this owner’s guide.
