JBL Consumer Products INCLUDED Four satellites for left, right and surrounds. Wall-mount brackets. One center-channel speaker with adjustable support leg. Powered subwoofer. Two 20' speaker cables for connection from receiver to subwoofer. Two 15' speaker cables for connection from subwoofer to front speakers. Three 40' speaker cables for connection from receiver to left and right rear satellites and center speaker. 3 SPEAKER PLACEMENT Front Speakers Center-Channel Speaker Subwoofer 0-2 ft. Surround Speakers 5 ­ 6 ft. The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listeners' ears will be, or they may be angled toward the listeners. The center-channel speaker should be placed slightly behind the front left and right speakers, and no more than two feet above or below the tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is often convenient to set the center speaker on top of the television set, as shown in the drawing. Use the supplied support leg to aim it toward the listener by screwing the leg in to angle the speaker up, or unscrewing the leg slightly to angle the speaker down. The two surround speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position and, ideally, should face each other and be at a level higher than the listeners' ears. If that is not possible, they may be placed on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the mainprogram material heard in the front speakers. 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. The hole in the center of each collar is intended for use with banana-type connectors. 6 Dolby* Pro Logic* (Non-Digital) ­ Speaker Level Use this installation method for Dolby Pro Logic applications (not Dolby Digital, DTS® or other digital processing), where the receiver/processor does not have a subwoofer output, or a volume-controlled preamp (line-) level output: Connect your receiver or amplifier's front left and right speaker terminals to the left and right terminals on the subwoofer that are marked "High Level In. " Connect the left and right terminals on the subwoofer that are marked "High Level Out" to the corresponding terminals on the back of your front left and right speakers. Connect your receiver or amplifier's center, left and right surround-speaker terminals to the corresponding terminals on the back of your center, left and right surround speakers.
