[. . . ] It enables us to keep you posted on our latest advance- PERFORMANCETM SERIES P36AW ® OWNER'S GUIDE SPEAKER PLACEMENT Proper placement of the speakers is an important step in obtaining the most realistic soundstage possible. These recommendations are for the optimal placement of the loudspeakers. For stereo-only applications: Less than 6 ­ 8 feet The P36AW loudspeakers are video-shielded and can safely be placed near a television. The loudspeakers are weatherresistant and may be used either indoors or outdoors, such as in a patio area. [. . . ] Do not mount the speaker upside down ­ with screw locations (3) and (4) on top ­ because it won't be able to lock onto the screw heads. Remember that the JBL logo on the tweeter/mid faceplate can be Supplied Angle-Mount Screw (When using angle-mount screws, always utilize the top two screw holes on the P36AW, depending on mounting orientation. ) Horizontal mounting: Use screwholes (1) and (2). Vertical mounting: Use screwholes (1) and (3), or (2) and (4), whichever are uppermost. Supplied Rubber Pad P36AW Roof eave Wall rotated with choice of speaker position (vertical or horizontal). At least one screw per speaker should be installed in a wooden wall stud. If the special angle-mount screws are not being used, size 10 screws of at least 1-1/2" in length are recommended. If the screws are used in drywall or other surfaces incapable of holding the screw by itself, selection of proper anchors is essential. The customer is solely responsible for proper selection and installation of screws, anchors and other installation hardware. Further installation details are included on the installation template. Installation of Self-Adhesive Rubber Pads: If the speaker is to be placed on a surface (such as a table top or shelf) rather than wall-mounted, the enclosed selfadhesive rubber pads are to be attached to the bottom of the speaker cabinet in their designated recessed locations. If the speaker is to be wall-mounted, then the four self-adhesive rubber pads should be attached to the back of the speaker, as shown in the bottom right diagram. When angle-mounting the P36AW, only two of the rubber pads are required, and they need to be installed on the back of the loudspeaker, near the lower edge, so that they are located between the back of the speaker and the mounting surface. NOTE: The threaded inserts on the bottom of the speakers are to be used only with JBL accessories that have been developed specifically for the P36AW and that may become available at a future date. Do not attempt to install bolts or any non-JBL brackets or acces- sories to these threads, as this might damage the speaker and dislodge the insert.

For wall-mounting SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS 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 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 bananatype connectors. To comply with RIGHT LEFT ­ + ­+ ­ + ­ + Speaker Outputs Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (­) terminals. 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 European CE certification, these holes are blocked with plastic inserts at the point of manufacture.
