Rest easy knowing that selecting the wrong language is a common issue. Fortunately it’s pretty easy to change. The first step is to press the “system” on your remote control. Next, navigate on-screen (your TV has to be on since the setup is on the screen) to the “console” list, which is represented by an icon that looks like your V20 unit. From there you scroll to the language option — which is the second or third from the top I think — and select English.

The biggest concern I have is that placing speakers into each corner separates the channels more than usual. In a typical home theater setup, the center and L/R speakers are placed in a cluster by the TV, with the subwoofer and surround speakers placed for sound and convenience. That setup works because the soundtracks from movies and TV shows are modified stereo, with supporting surround tracks to “fill” the rest of the room or parts of the room, such as in 5.1 surround. It creates a spacious feeling.

Now, if you’re just listening to music it shouldn’t be as big an issue because the reflected/spacious attributes of the Acoustimas system will make music sound even better, especially with your vaulted ceilings. So the placement is determined by the primary source of music — radio, stereo tracks, surround tracks, movies with surround sound, etc. But you also have to consider sound volume: the farther the speakers from the listener the weaker the volume, which means the volume will have to be turned up higher.

If you have to place the speakers in the corners, or if that’s where you want them, then put them there and then adjust the speakers into a direct or reflect orientation: the speakers can be twisted to concentrate or disperse sound.

The systems will sound great whether they’re connected to a TV or playing music. In fact, the Bose systems are designed to perform great regardless of the audio source.

In the “System” menu there is an option to restore factory defaults called “Restore Settings.”

In the setup menu you can adjust the levels of each speaker. Adjusting the other speakers down and the center speaker up will place more emphasis on voice and center-channel sound. There is also a setting called “Range Compression” that highlights vocals automatically. As always, I recommend running the ADAPTiQ calibration to ensure the system is aware of speaker position and room acoustics.
