Introduction Your 601 ®DirectiReflecting® speakers re-create a natural balance of reflected and direct sound energy for a lifelike, spacious performance. As with all Bose® products, their design is meant to bring you high-quality concert-like sound. Figure 1 A natural balance of reflected and direct sound energy. Unpacking the speakers Carefully unpack the contents of the shipping carton. • Individually remove each speaker. • Retain the packaging material for possible future use.
Placing the speakers The product label on the back of each speaker indicates LEFT or RIGHT. For best acoustic performance, place the left speaker on the left side as you face your speakers and place the right speaker on the right side. Keep the speakers 6 - 15 feet (1.8 - 6 m) apart and at least 10 inches (25 cm) from side walls (see Figure 3). It is important not to block the acoustic components at the rear of each speaker.
Preparing the speaker cord Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is marked (striped, collared, ribbed, or may have writing on it). This marked wire is always positive (+). The plain wire is always negative (-). These wires correspond to the red (+) and black (-) terminals on the speaker, receiver, or amplifier. ) Note: It is sometimes difficult to distinguish wire markings.
Checking the connections Check all the connections from the receiver to the left and right speakers. Make sure all the wires are connected in phase (+ to + and - to -). Correct any wiring problems before you plug in your receiver and turn it on. A CAUTION: 601® speakers incorporate an automatic protection circuit, which guards against most kinds of damage from electrical stress or overload. This circuit activates at high volume levels to reduce output, causing a slight decrease in volume.
Troubleshooting If you are experiencing problems with your 601 ®speakers: 8 1. Turn off the amplifier or receiver and check all the connections between the speakers and the amplifier or receiver. 2. Check your amplifier or receiver owner's guide, since other components may be the cause of the problem. 3. Use the chart below as troubleshooting guidelines. If this does not solve the problem, contact your authorized Bose® dealer to arrange for service.

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.
