WALL-MOUNTING 4 3 2 1 6 7 1 5 2 3 4 8 5 8 Important Safety Note: The customer is solely responsible for proper selection of mounting hardware not included with the speakers, and for proper assembly and installation of the wall brackets, including but not limited to the selection of appropriate weight-bearing supports and proper use of the bracket. JBL disclaims any liability for the selection of mounting hardware and/or bracket installation. Be sure to follow these bracket assembly and installation instructions carefully. If you have any questions or doubts about your ability to correctly wall-mount the speakers, consult with your authorized JBL dealer or custom installer. If necessary, use the supplied Metal Bar as a lever by 6 inserting it into one of the holes in the outer edge of the Molded Nut TM. Step 2: Firmly grasp the Ball and Shaft £ and pull it straight out of the Attachment Plate ¢. Avoid leaning it to the side for leverage, as this may break off a tab. Step 3: Slide the Molded Nut TM onto the Ball and Shaft £ with the threaded opening facing the ball. Thread the Metal Nut ¡ all the way onto the Ball and Shaft £, with the star washer side away from the ball. Refer to the exploded drawing for the proper orientation of these parts. Step 4: Screw the Ball and Shaft £ into the Threaded Insert § on the back of the Satellite Speaker ¶ until it is fully seated in the Threaded Insert §, but do not tighten, as you might dislodge the Threaded Insert §. Step 9: Once the speaker's orientation has been finalized, insert the Metal Bar into one of the holes in the outer edge of the Molded Nut TM and tighten the Molded Nut TM securely. Keep the Metal Bar in a safe place, in the event that you decide to adjust the speaker's orientation in the future. SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS black to denote 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 cap for the desired terminal, insert the bare end of the wire into the hole below the cap and release the cap. [. . . ] · Turn off all electronics and switch the speaker in question with one of the other speakers that are working correctly. Turn everything back on, and determine whether the problem has followed the speaker, or has remained in the same channel. If the problem is in the same channel, the source of the problem is most likely with your receiver or amplifier, and you should consult the owner's manual for that product for further information. If the problem has followed the speaker, consult your dealer for further assistance or, if that is not possible, visit www. jbl. com. [. . . ]
