[. . . ] If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. [. . . ] The low-frequency material reproduced by the subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this speaker may be placed in a convenient location in the room. However, bass reproduction will be maximized when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening position and moving around the room until the bass reproduction is best. Place the subwoofer in that location. 3 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS CST55 CSC55 To provide a neater installation, the CST55 allows you to insert the speaker wires through holes in the base. Simply separate and strip the wires as described above, loosen the terminals and insert each wire into its corresponding hole in the base. Then tighten down the terminals. Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire as shown. Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (­) terminals. Most manufacturers of speakers and electronics, including JBL, use red to denote the (+) terminal and black to denote the (­) terminal. 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 multichannel 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 use the binding-post speaker terminals, 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.

Connect this jack to the LFE output or subwoofer output on your receiver or amplifier. Connect each speaker to the corresponding speaker terminals on your receiver or amplifier. Make sure that you have configured your surround sound processor for "Subwoofer On. " Also configure your receiver for 5. 1-, 6. 1or 7. 1-channel operation as appropriate. The front left, front right, center and rear speakers should all be set to "Small. " If your receiver allows you to set the crossover frequency between the subwoofer and the main speakers, select 100Hz or the setting that is the closest frequency below it. DOLBY PRO LOGIC® (NON-DIGITAL) ­ LINE LEVEL Use this installation method for Dolby Pro Logic applications (not Dolby Digital, DTS or other digital processing), where the receiver/processor is equipped with a subwoofer output, or a volumecontrolled preamp (line-) level output: Left Front ­ + Center ­ + Use RCA-type interconnects to connect the line-level subwoofer outputs on your receiver or amplifier to the line-level inputs on the subwoofer. IMPORTANT: Do not use the LFE input on the subwoofer with Dolby Pro Logic processors. Right Front ­ + Subwoofer Line Level In L R NOTE: If your receiver or amplifier has only one subwoofer output jack, then you will need to use a Y-connector (not included). [. . . ] If it is not, check to see whether your receiver/processor has other surround modes you may use. · In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/processor is configured so that the surround speakers are enabled. When five satellites are in use, remember to configure your receiver or processor for 6. 1-channel operation, and when six satellites are in use, configure your receiver or processor for 7. 1 channels. · Review the operation of your DVD player and the jacket of your DVD to make sure that the DVD features the desired Dolby Digital or DTS mode, and that you have properly selected that mode using both the DVD player's menu and the DVD disc`s menu. 7 SPECIFICATIONS System Frequency Response 27Hz ­ 30kHz (­6dB) CSC55 Maximum Recommended Amplifier Power 150 Watts* Power Handling 50W Continuous/300W Peak Frequency Response 55Hz ­ 30kHz (­6dB) Nominal Impedance 8 Ohms Sensitivity 90dB @ 1 watt/1 meter Tweeter One 3/4" (19mm) titanium-laminate dome, video-shielded Woofers Dual 5" (130mm) transducers with PolyPlasTM cones, neodymium magnets and HeatScapeTM motor structure, video-shielded Dimensions (H x W x D) (including wall-mount bracket and grille) 6-1/4" x 26-1/4" x 4-1/4" (159mm x 667mm x 108mm) Weight 10 lb (4. 5kg) CST55 Maximum Recommended Amplifier Power 150 Watts* Power Handling 50W Continuous/300W Peak Frequency Response 55Hz ­ 30kHz (­6dB) Nominal Impedance 8 Ohms Sensitivity 90dB @ 1 Watt/1 meter Tweeter One 3/4" (19mm) titanium-laminate dome, video-shielded Woofers Dual 5" (130mm) transducers with PolyPlasTM cones, neodymium magnets and HeatScapeTM motor structure, video-shielded Dimensions (H x W x D) (including wall-mount bracket and grille) 46" x 8" x 6-1/2" (1168mm x 203mm x 165mm) Weight 17 lb (7. 7kg) CSS10 Amplifier Power 150 Watts RMS Frequency Response 27Hz ­ Low-pass crossover setting at signal source Low-Frequency Driver 10" (250mm) cone and HeatScapeTM motor structure, video-shielded Input LFE preamp level Dimensions (H x W x D) (including feet) 18-1/4" x 13-1/4" x 16" (464mm x 337mm x 406mm) Weight 43 lb (19. 5kg) All features and specifications are subject to change without notice.
