GETTING STARTED Before you begin
Thank you for choosing Bose Companion 2 Series II multimedia speaker system. Unique features and Bose technologies make these speakers a superior choice for upgrading your computer audio. They also provide rich, full stereo sound from a second source, like a portable MP3 or CD player. Benefits of your Companion 2 speakers: TrueSpaceTM stereo signal processing circuitry adds spaciousness. Ported cabinet design provides clear, deep musical tones. Sleek design blends in with contemporary office dcor.

Unpacking the carton

Carefully unpack your speakers and save all of the packing materials, which provide the safest means for shipping or transporting. If any part appears damaged, do not attempt to use it (Figure 1). Notify your authorized Bose dealer immediately. Or, to contact Bose directly, refer to the address sheet included in the carton.

WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bags that wrap these speakers out of the reach of children. Figure 1 Carton contents

SETTING UP Choosing a speaker location
The angled design of these speakers allows them to direct sound upward toward a seated listener. So placing them on a desktop is a good choice. Magnetic shielding protects your computer monitor from ! interference when the speakers are positioned close to it. Place the speaker that has a volume control knob on the front within easy reach to the right of your computer. Place the other speaker on the left (Figure 2).
Note: LEFT and RIGHT labels on the back of the two speakers can serve

as a placement aid.

Figure 2 Speakers in position near the computer

LEFT speaker

RIGHT speaker Volume control

Headphone jack

You may prefer placing the RIGHT speaker on your left to more easily reach the volume control and the headphone jack. This does no harm, although it changes how you hear the left and right stereo sound. For an accurate sound stage, the music recorded from stage left during a live performance comes from the left speaker. Changing the placement of LEFT and RIGHT speakers alters that effect.

Connecting the speakers

A speaker cable is attached to the rear of the LEFT speaker. Insert the free end of this cable into the jack marked TO LEFT SPEAKER on the back of the RIGHT speaker (Figure 3 on page 8).
Figure 3 Speaker cable connection

RIGHT speaker

TO LEFT SPEAKER
Making the sound source connections
Your Companion 2 speakers can provide sound from two audio sources simultaneously. This allows you to listen to music from an MP3 or CD player and still hear the alert tones from your computer.
Connecting to your computer
Two audio input cables are supplied with the speakers. Use the cable that has a stereo mini plug on one end if your computer has a stereo mini audio in jack. Insert the mini plug into the jack. Use the cable that has RCA plugs on each end if your computer has RCA audio in jacks. Insert the plugs at one end of this cable into the jacks on the computer, matching red to red and white to white. Two pairs of jacks on the back of the RIGHT speaker are labeled ! AUDIO INPUT. Each pair includes a white jack marked L above a red jack ! marked R (Figure 4 on page 9). Use the free end of the audio input cable to connect to one pair of the AUDIO INPUT jacks. 1. 2. Insert the white RCA plug into the white jack labeled L. Insert the red RCA plug into the red jack labeled R.

Connecting an optional second source
Use the audio output cable provided with your MP3 player, CD player, or other sound source. Or, if the other (unused) cable supplied with the speakers works with your source, you may use it. Connect the RCA plugs on one end of the cable to the unused AUDIO INPUT jacks on the back of the RIGHT speaker (Figure 6). 1. 2. Insert the white RCA plug into the white jack labeled L. Insert the red RCA plug into the red jack labeled R.
Connect the other end of this cable to the audio output jack on the player.

WARNING: Long-term exposure to loud music may cause hearing
damage. It is best to avoid extreme volume levels when using headphones, especially for extended periods.
USING THE SPEAKERS Enjoying the sound
Before using your Companion 2 speakers, make sure your computer and other sound source are plugged in and turned on.

Controlling the volume

You can raise or lower the volume of the speakers or a connected headphone by turning the knob on the front of the RIGHT speaker (Figure 8).
Figure 8 Speaker volume knob RIGHT speaker

Volume control

To control your sound sources independently: Use your computer volume control, which may include an external control as well as one on screen. Use the volume control on the second sound source. To avoid constant adjustments, balance the volume levels: 1. On your computer and other sound source, set the volume so the two are roughly equal in output. Make it about two-thirds the ! maximum volume on each. Use the knob on the RIGHT speaker to adjust the volume as you listen. Turn it right to raise and left to lower the volume (Figure 8).

A second option may be more convenient: 1. 2. Turn the volume knob on the RIGHT speaker completely to the right for maximum volume. Use the volume control on each sound source (computer or player) to adjust the volume as you listen.

Cleaning the speakers

Wipe the speakers using a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents, ! chemicals, or sprays. Lightly vacuum the grilles as needed.
CAUTION: Do not allow liquids to spill or objects to drop into any

openings.

Troubleshooting
Problem No sound What you can do No sound from ! one speaker ! Make sure the sound source is plugged in and turned on, ! it is not on mute, and the volume is turned up. Make sure headphones are not plugged into the RIGHT speaker. Be sure the power pack is securely plugged into the RIGHT speaker and into the AC (mains) outlet. Make sure the speakers are connected properly and all connectors are inserted firmly. Check the sound source. If it is mono (has one channel only), you need a mono-to-stereo adapter to send the sound to both speakers. To request an adapter, contact Bose Customer Service. Refer to the address sheet included in the carton. Decrease the volume of the sound source affected, and increase the volume on the speakers. Decrease the volume level on your speakers, and increase the ! level on each sound source to your preferred volume.
Sound is distorted Background noise when no source! is playing

Troubleshooting

Problem No sound What you can do No sound from one speaker Make sure the sound source is plugged in and turned on, it is not on mute, and the volume is turned up. Make sure headphones are not plugged into the RIGHT speaker. Be sure the power pack is securely plugged into the RIGHT speaker and into the AC (mains) outlet. Make sure the speakers are connected properly and all plugrs are inserted firmly. Check the sound source. If it is mono (has one channel only), you need a mono-to-stereo adapter to send the sound to both speakers. To request an adapter, contact Bose Customer Service. Refer to the address sheet included in the carton. Decrease the volume of the sound source affected, and increase the volume on the speakers. When using any other wireless source (computer or cell phone) move the speakers farther from that source. Decrease the volume level on your speakers and increase the level on each sound source to your preferred volume.

Sound is distorted or you hear static

Both volume and the headphone jack reside on the front of one speaker to provide easy control over your listening experience. Odds are, your computer is a primary source of entertainment. So why rely on standard computer speakers with so much rich content at your fingertips? Step up to Companion 2 speakers and unleash your computer's true potential with powerful, full-range sound for CDs, DVDs, MP3s, streaming videos, games and more. Companion 2 speakers deliver both the subtleties in your music and the rousing resonance of movie and game sound effects. Think of them as giving new voice to your computer. And with Bose TrueSpace stereo signal processing, that voice really has some reach. Experience a spacious, dramatic soundstage that seems to extend beyond the desktop speakers - whether you've set them next to your monitor or placed them farther apart. You'll also appreciate the clear, robust response for those challenging low musical notes and sound effects. Companion 2 speakers bring more than new flair to your desktop. They're also designed for convenience, with both the volume control and headphone jack close at hand. All so controlling your listening experience is as simple as you'd like it to be. Dual inputs enable the speakers to be used with your computer as well as a second audio source, such as a portable MP3 or CD player. And Companion 2 speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with your monitor.
