on your computer reduce its output

and

unnaturally limit

speaker volume.

Computer volume controls often include:

• External buttons, which may operate independent of

the onscreen controls (examples A and 8, below).

• Onscreen controls, provided on the computer

(examples

C,

D,

and

USING

Tips on muting:

• If you use a control on your computer to mute the

speakers, be sure to unmute them before turning off

the power.

• Or you can use the power button on the right speaker or

the remote control to turn off both speakers. Press this

button again to resume play at your previous volume.

Tips on using the remote control:

Some conditions, such as room lighting, furniture that

blocks the signal path, or direct sunlight, can affect

remote operation.

If the remote does not work as it should:

• Point the remote more directly at the right speaker,

which receives the remote control signals.

• Dim the room lights

or

move the speakers away from

direct sunlight.

• Move closer to the system when you use the remote.

• If the problem persists, replace the remote control

battery.

• Do not

allow

OUR COMMITMENT TO

YOU

We take great pride in designing each

of

our products with the goal

of

providing the high-

est 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. In addition, we use only the highest quality parts

and the latest assembly and quality control techniques to ensure the reliability and long

life

of

our products.

Our reputation rests on our steadfast pursuit

of

this policy in sound systems for the home,

the automobile, and businesses.

At Bose@ we reinvest 100% of our earnings back into the company. This enables us to

support research that continually gives rise to new technologies for improving sound

reproduction.

When you purchase any product from Bose, we encourage you to compare it, as we do, to

competitive products for musical accuracy. We believe that this process will enhance your

appreciation

of

the product you select.

With best wishes from all

of

us at Bose for many years

of

enjoyable listening.
