Pertains to the type of remote that sends/receives commands on an infrared light beam. MPEG - A type of data compression used for audio or video storage on disc. MP3 - MPEG-1 Layer III audio. This is a compressed audio format that allows you to record many hours of music on a single CD. NTSC - An acronym for National Television System Committee.
SYSTEM SETUP Unpacking Carefully unpack your system. Save all packing materials, which provide the safest way to transport your system. Check to be sure your system includes the parts shown in Figure 1. If any part of the system appears damaged, do not attempt to use it. Notify Bose or your authorized Bose® dealer immediately. For Bose contact information, refer to the address sheet included in the carton. A WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bags out of the reach of children.
SYSTEM SETUP Selecting locations for your 3-2-1 GSX system components Use the following guidelines and Figure 2 to choose locations and positions for the components of your 3-2-1 GSX home entertainment system. ) Note: While these guidelines are offered to help provide great system pet1ormance, you may find other placement choices that are more convenient and provide the sound you enjoy. Positioning the media center A. CAUTION: Do not block any ventilation openings.
SYSTEM SETUP Positioning the speakers Choosing a good location for the speakers will allow you to experience the audio surround effects that your 3-2-1 GSX home entertainment system is designed to deliver. - Place the left and right speakers at least 3 feet (1 meter) apart from each other to optimize the surround sound experience (Figure 3). - Place each speaker within 3 feet (1 meter) of the edge of the TV screen.
SYSTEM SETUP Positioning the Acoustimass@ module • Place the module at the same end of the room as the TV and the speakers (Figure 4). • Keep the module at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the TV to prevent the module from interfering with the TV screen. • Place the Acoustimass module within reach of the cable from the music center and an AC (mains) power outlet. • Choose a convenient location such as under a table, behind a sofa or chair, or behind drapes, but do not block the port opening.
SYSTEM SETUP Making system connections A CAUTION: 00 not plug the Acoustimass® module into an AC power (mains) outlet until all the components are connected. Connecting the Acoustimass module to the media center Plug one end of the Acoustimass module cable into the Acoustimass Module jack on the rear of the media center (Figure 6). Plug the other end of the cable into the input (-E> ) jack on the rear of the Acoustimass module.
SYSTEM SETUP 2. At the other end of the speaker cable, separate the left and right speaker cords as much as necessary to reach each speaker (Figure 8). Figure 8 Separating left and right speaker cords 3. Plug the LEFT speaker cable into the rear jack of the left speaker (Figure 9). Plug the RIGHT speaker cable into the rear jack on the right speaker.
SYSTEM SETUP Connecting the supplied antennas The rear panel of the media center provides jacks for the AM and FM antennas included with your system (Figure 10). Unwind the wires for each antenna to provide the best reception. J Note: An outdoor antenna may be used in place of the supplied indoor antennas. To add an outdoor antenna, consult a qualified installer. Follow all safety instructions supplied with the antenna.
SYSTEM SETUP Connecting your TV to the media center If you want to use the 3-2-1 GSX system with both a TV and a VCR, skip this section and go to "Connecting your TV and VCR to the media center" on page 16. Making audio connections ) Note: If your TV does not have audio output jacks, see "Option B: TV (NO audio output jacks) + VCR + media center" on page 17. Otherwise, continue. 1. Connect one end of the supplied stereo cable to the TV Audio IN jacks on the rear panel of the media center (Figure 11).
SYSTEM SETUP Connecting your TV and VCR to the media center There are two options for connecting your TV and VCR to the media center. - Option A: TV with audio output jacks+VCR - Option B: TV without audio output jacks+VCR Before proceeding, check your TV for audio output jacks. Option A: TV (with audio output jacks) + VCR + media center If your TV has audio output jacks, you can directly route the TV audio to the 3-2-1 GSX home entertainment system (Figure 12). 1.
SYSTEM SETUP Option B: TV (NO audio output jacks) + VCR + media center If your TV does not have audio output jacks, you will need to feed audio to the 3-2-1 GSX home entertainment system through a secondary source, such as a VCR. To do this, you will need one additional video cable, which can be purchased at your local electronics store. 1. Connect one end of the supplied stereo cable to the AUX Audio IN jacks on the rear panel of the media center (Figure 13).
SYSTEM SETUP VCR considerations - Some combination TVNCR units may not work with 3-2-1 GSX home entertainment systems. Please refer to your TVNCR owner's manual for information. - A stereo VCR is required for optimal sound performance. If your VCR has only one audio output, you have a mono VCR. You will need a Y-adapter cable (available at electronics stores) to connect audio to the media center.
SYSTEM SETUP Making component video connections (highest quality video) J Note: Component video connections are required in order to use the progressive scan (NTSC only) feature of your 3-2-1 GSX system. Your 7V must also support this feature. To turn on the progressive scan feature, see "Video options" on page 59. For the highest quality video from DVDs, you may want to use a component video connection between the media center and the TV.
SYSTEM SETUP Connecting digital audio devices Some audio devices feature a digital audio output for optimum sound performance. Use an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable, as appropriate, to connect this output to the digital input on the media center. You can purchase the required cables at a local electronics store. On the media center rear panel, an optical digital cable connects to the OPTICAL jack. A coaxial cable connects to the audio input jacks labeled D.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU We take great pride in designing each of our products with the goal of providing the highest accuracy musical performance possible in the price range of that product. We strive to reproduce the musical sounds as closely as possible to those of the original performance. And we strive to avoid flashy sounds such as those associated with accentuated bass and/or treble frequencies. While those sounds may be initially attractive to the novice, they are not real and are not enduring.
