JBL Subwoofer (optional) Left Front Channel Center Channel Right Front Channel (4) coasters Couch PLACEMENT NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the spikes, the feet and/or the wood cabinet itself. [. . . ] To protect the surface of uncarpeted floors, set each spike into an included metal coaster. NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the spikes, the feet the wood cabinet itself and/or the floor. ALWAYS lift the speaker and carry it to its new location. HOME THEATER For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another on the right, along either side of the television monitor. The JBL LS speakers are primarily designed for use with Plasma, LCD and DLP TV screens, and should not be placed in close proximity of CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) TV sets. For surround-channel use, place speakers on bookshelves or stands alongside the listening position. Final placement depends on room acoustics, availability of space and your listening preference (Figures 2 and 3). In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s) behind the listening position, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. 2 WIRING THE SYSTEM IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE ALL EQUIPMENT IS TURNED OFF BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i. e. , +). NOTE: If desired, consult your local JBL dealer about speaker wire and connection options. The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors. To ensure proper polarity, connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker, as shown in Figure 5. See the owner's guides that were included with your amplifier, receiver and television to confirm connection procedures. SINGLE-STEREO AMPLIFIER Figure 7. This figure shows how to connect bare wires to the terminals. Figure 8. IMPORTANT: DO NOT REVERSE POLARITIES (I. E. , + TO ­ OR ­ TO +) WHEN MAKING CONNECTIONS. DOING SO WILL CAUSE POOR IMAGING AND DIMINISHED BASS RESPONSE. FINAL ADJUSTMENTS Check the speakers for playback, first by setting the system volume control to a minimum level, and then by applying power to your audio system. Play a favorite music or video segment and increase the system volume control to a comfortable level. NOTE: You should hear balanced audio reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum. If not, check all wiring connections or consult the authorized JBL dealer from whom you purchased the system for more help. The amount of bass you hear and the stereo-image quality will be affected by a number of different factors, including the room's size and shape, the construction materials used to build the room, the listener's position relative to the speakers, and the position of the speakers in the room. [. . . ] We do not recommend sustained operation at these maximum power levels. High-pass crossover for one of the two low-frequency transducers only. Laurent Rault Harman Consumer Group, Inc.
