User manual JBL CS460BK

[. . . ] This figure shows an alternative layout, which may be more suitable for some rooms. PLACEMENT (2) Speakers (2) Adjustable wall brackets with tightening bar (2) Fixed wall brackets NOTE: The CS400SAT can be placed directly on a shelf, or mounted on a wall using the included wall brackets. As Left and Right Front Channels For left and right front channels, place one satellite to the left and another to the right of the television, as shown in Figure 1. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place them very close to the TV without worrying about the magnetic field distorting the picture. [. . . ] In 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s) behind the listening position, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. NOTE: A powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to both music and film soundtracks. Contact your JBL dealer for recommendations on subwoofer models for your application. Couch PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM Before deciding where to best place your speakers, survey your room and study Figures 1 and 2. Subwoofer Left Front Channel Center Channel Right Front Channel Left Surround Channel Left Rear Channel Right Rear Channel Right Surround Channel Mounting on Floor Stands An optional floor stand is available, should you prefer to place your CS400SAT satellites on the floor; see your dealer or visit www. jbl. com for more information. Figure 1. In this overhead view of a typical installation, satellite speakers are used to reproduce sound for the front and surround channels. The powered subwoofer provides bass for effects and music. 3 WALL-MOUNTING THE SATELLITES The CS400SAT is designed to be mounted on the wall. There is a fixed-mount wall bracket and an adjustable wall bracket provided for each satellite. Each speaker bracket will require up to four 1-1/2" #10 wood screws; each screw should be fastened to a wall stud. If a wall stud is unavailable, install an anchor appropriate for a 1-1/2" #10 screw. ® Step 4. Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 4. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker. Do not reverse polarities (i. e. , + to ­, or ­ to +) when making connections. Be certain that positive and negative wire strands are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may damage your equipment. NOTE: On certain models using hexagonal terminal nuts, a small socket wrench is provided to help in properly tightening the terminals. Hand-tighten only and do not overtighten. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE The enclosure may be cleaned using a soft cloth to remove fingerprints or to wipe off dust. All wiring connections should be inspected and cleaned or remade periodically. The frequency of maintenance depends on the metals involved in the connections, atmospheric conditions and other factors, but once per year is the minimum. [. . . ] If a problem occurs, make sure that all connections are properly made and clean. If a problem exists in one loudspeaker, reverse the connection wires to the left and right system. If the problem remains in the same speaker, then the fault is with the loudspeaker. [. . . ]
