JBL Consumer Products SPEAKER PLACEMENT Proper placement of the speakers is an important step in obtaining the most realistic soundstage possible. Note: If your receiver has separate left and right line-level subwoofer (or LFE) output jacks, you do not need to use a Y-Connector. 5 AMPLIFIER CONTROLS LFE Level Control: Allows you to adjust the volume of the low-frequency effects/ subwoofer channel to suit your room acoustics or tastes. If you are not using the LFE input, the LFE level control will not operate. Configuring Your Receiver: You should choose the "Large" or "Wide" option for the left- and right-front speakers so that full lowfrequency information will be sent to the R103 speakers. Make sure that you also configure your receiver for "Subwoofer On" or "LFE On. " In this case, the LFE/Subwoofer signal will consist only of the . 1 (bass) channel. The LFE signal level can be adjusted by using the LFE level on the R103 amplifier panel. For initial setup, you should set the level controls on both speakers at minimum (full counterclockwise rotation). With 5. 1, 6. 1 or 7. 1 source material playing, advance the level controls on each speaker slowly until the desired amount of effects channel is present. This is a rather subjective adjustment and should be made using a variety of program materials. If you choose, you can use the "Small" or "Narrow" setting on your receiver. In this case, all of the information below 80Hz will be fed to the LFE/ Subwoofer input on the R103. Now the level control operates throughout the entire bass spectrum below 80Hz, not just within the . 1 channel portion.
