Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or groundingtype plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ] Power Trigger Outputs If you wish to have other components in your system turn on via trigger, make sure they are compatible with the 1/8" (3. 5mm) 12-volt DC Trigger Output Jack C on the JBL BassQ unit. If they are, you may connect the Trigger Output Jack C to the first component's trigger input using one of the cables included with the JBL Performance Series AVA7, and then connect all components in daisychain fashion. There are five trigger outputs on the rear panel of the JBL BassQ unit. · Pass-through sends the 12-volt trigger signal out in parallel to the input. Use this to trigger the AVA7 amplifier, or the first amplifier you are using in the system. · 2S sends the 12-volt signal 2 seconds after the input is received. · 4S sends the 12-volt signal 4 seconds after the input signal is received. · 6S sends the 12-volt signal 6 seconds after the input signal is received. · 8S sends the 12-volt signal 8 seconds after the input signal is received. Movie Trigger Input Using a 12-volt trigger from the Movie/ Music switching can be automated. If you are using the AV1 processor, use the DIN-to-mini trigger cable included with the AV1, as this switching is already programmed into the trigger outputs of the AV1. If you are using the AV2 or another component that has a programmable trigger, use the 2. 5mm to 3. 5mm cable included with the JBL BassQ unit. If using an AV1 processor or other processor that has a single subwoofer or LFE output, connect the subwoofer output to the Left input and set the input mode to Mono on the front panel of the JBL BassQ unit. Do not connect the input to the Right input jack, as no signal will be processed. If you are using a preamp/processor such as the AV2, or an AVR that has stereo subwoofer outputs, connect the left and right inputs and set the mode to Stereo on the front panel of the JBL BassQ unit. 16. For best performance, it is recommended that you use at least two subwoofers placed in the front left and front right corners of the room. WARNING: · DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERIES TO EXCESSIVE HEAT SUCH AS DIRECT SUNLIGHT, FIRE OR THE LIKE. · DISPOSE OF DEAD BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS. 7 CONNECTING YOUR JBL PERFORMANCE SERIES SYSTEM GENERAL INFORMATION A JBL Performance Series system installation incorporates one preamp/ processor (AV1 or AV2), one power amplifier (AVA7) ­ in addition to the amplifier(s) used to power one or more subwoofers ­ and one JBL BassQ processor. If your speaker complement includes the Performance Series PS1400 powered subwoofer (or other powered subwoofer), you may use the amplifier included in each subwoofer. If you are using a passive subwoofer, you will need to supply a subwoofer amplifier. All seven channels on the AVA7 are to be used for driving the left, center and right, and both side and both rear speakers. Use the simplified wiring diagram below, which illustrates how to connect the JBL BassQ unit to a Performance Series system. [. . . ] You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater. Begin by measuring the distance between your listening position and each of the speakers in your system. If you have more than one subwoofer, it is best to place them an equal distance from the listening position. If this is not possible, use the distance from the closest subwoofer for the speaker distance settings. [. . . ]
