CONNECTION TIPS

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

Separate and strip the

ends of the speaker wire,

as shown. The wires sup-

plied with the system may

already be stripped and

tinned for easy insertion into

the speaker terminals. You

may need to separate the

two conductors further in

order to thread them through

the shelf stand or floor stand

adapter. Speakers and elec-

tronics terminals have corre-

sponding (+) and (–) termi

nals. Most manufacturers of

speakers and electronics,

including JBL, use red to

denote the (+) terminal and

black to denote the (–)

terminal.

The (+) lead of the speaker

wire is noted with a stripe. It

is important to connect both

speakers identically: (+) on

the speaker to (+) on the

amplifier and (–) on the

speaker to (–) on the amplifier.

Wiring “out of phase” results

in thin sound, weak bass and

a poor stereo image.

With the advent of multi-

channel surround sound

systems, connecting all of

the speakers in your system

with the correct polarity

remains equally important in

order to preserve the proper

ambience and directionality

of the program material.

To connect the supplied

speaker wires to the satellite

and center speaker termi-

nals, press the red or black

plastic cap for the desired

terminal, insert the bare end

of the wire into the hole

below the cap and release

the cap. Gently tug on the

wire to make sure that it is

fully inserted.

To use the binding-post

speaker terminals on the

subwoofer, unscrew the

colored collar until the pass-

through hole in the center

post is visible under the

collar. Insert the bare end of

the wire through this hole;

then screw the collar down

until the connection is tight.

The hole in the center of each

collar is intended for use

with banana-type connectors.

To comply with European CE

certification, these holes are

blocked with plastic inserts at

the point of manufacture. To

use banana-type connectors

requires the removal of the

inserts. Do not remove these

inserts if you are using the

product in an area covered by

the European CE certification.

Speaker ¶ as described in

Step 5 before beginning Step

7, in order to avoid damage

to the

Threaded Insert §.

Such damage would not be

covered under the warranty.

Step 7: Holding the

Satellite

Speaker ¶ with both hands,

reinsert the ball portion of

the

Ball and Shaft £

into

the

Attachment Plate ¢.

Step 8: Hand-tighten the

Molded Nut ™ while posi-

tioning the speaker for the

desired orientation. If the

Molded Nut ™ is difficult to

tighten by hand, insert the

Metal Bar ∞ into one of the

holes in the outer edge of

the

Molded Nut ™ and use

the bar as a lever. Be careful

not to cross-thread. The

swiveling ball enables you to

aim the speaker to one side

or the other, or to tilt it up

or down. Although stereo

imaging may be improved

by aiming the front speakers

toward the listening position,

especially for music selec-

tions, the surround speakers

are intended to provide a

diffuse, ambient sound that

is best achieved by aiming

the speakers straight out

from the wall. Aiming the

surround speakers toward

the listening position may

ruin the intended effect by

calling too much attention

to the information in those

channels.

Step 9: Once the speaker’s

orientation has been final-

ized, insert the

Metal Bar ∞

into one of the holes in the

outer edge of the Molded

Nut

™ and tighten the

Molded Nut ™ securely.

Keep the

Metal Bar ∞ in a

safe place, in the event that

you decide to adjust the

speaker’s orientation in

the future.
