[. . . ] Example of Antenna Grounding as per National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 1. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ] Wall brackets are included. On optional stands (FS1000). WALL-MOUNTING Attach plate to wall. The brackets should be placed, if possible, so that the screws will fasten into a wooden wall stud. If that is not possible, use properly selected wall anchors. Slide speaker onto support.

Place speaker and support on wall plate. Make sure that at least 1/4" (6mm) of the wall plate metal shaft is inserted into the support cavity. Continue to firmly press the support onto the wall plate metal shaft until it is fully secured in place. MOUNTING THE SATELLITES ON OPTIONAL FS1000 FLOOR STANDS 3. 2. 1. 1. Attach the stand adaptor to the top of the stand upright with the pins toward the rear of the stand. Place the loudspeaker securely on the stand by inserting the adaptor pin into the grommet on the bottom of the speaker. Connect the wire to the loudspeaker, remembering to preserve the polarity ("+" and "­") (see page 6). 5 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire as shown. The wires supplied with the system may already be stripped and tinned for easy insertion into the speaker terminals. Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (­) terminals. Most manufacturers of speakers and electronics, including JBL, use red to denote the (+) terminal and black for 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 connect the supplied speaker wires to the satellite and center speaker terminals, press the red or black plastic tab for the desired terminal, insert the bare end of the wire into the hole and release the tab. To use the binding-post speaker terminals on the subwoofer, unscrew the colored collar until the passthrough 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. 6 DOLBY DIGITAL OR DTS (OR OTHER DIGITAL SURROUND MODE) CONNECTION RECEIVER SUBWOOFER LINE LEVEL IN L LFE OUT LFE INPUT R Use this installation method for Dolby Digital, DTS or other digital surround processors: Use the line-level input jack marked "LFE" for the Low- Frequency Effects channel. 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. [. . . ] · Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier and its surround sound features. · Make sure the movie or TV show you are watching is recorded in a surround sound mode. If it is not, check to see whether your receiver/amplifier 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.
