User manual JBL SCS500.5

[. . . ] When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the apparatus. [. . . ] Release the cap, and tug gently on the wire to make sure that the connection is snug. Follow the same procedure to connect the negative wire to its terminal. 5 + ­ + ­ Gently pull the slack out of the wire and screw the adapter onto the back of the speaker in two places, as shown. Use the larger screw in the upper screw hole, and the smaller screw in the lower screw hole. Screw the floor stand adapter into the floor stand's threaded insert until the speaker is firmly attached to the stand. Back off slightly from the fully tightened position until the speaker is oriented as desired, then rotate the thumbwheel at the bottom of the floor stand adapter to secure the speaker to the stand. WALL-MOUNTING 4 3 2 1 7 6 1 2 3 4 8 5 5 8 Make sure that all four screws are driven into the stud and not into drywall. If the bracket needs to be mounted in drywall, the customer is responsible for selecting and using appropriate wall anchors and screws. Important Note: The Metal Nut ¡ must be fully tightened against the Satellite Speaker ¶ as described in Step 5 before beginning Step 7, in order to avoid damage to the Threaded Insert §. Step 7: Holding the Satellite Speaker ¶ with both hands, reinsert the ball portion of the Ball and Shaft £ into the Attachment Plate ¢. Step 8: Hand-tighten the Molded Nut TM while positioning the speaker for the desired orientation. If the Molded Nut TM is difficult to tighten by hand, insert the Metal Bar into one of the holes in the outer edge of the Molded Nut TM and use the bar as a lever. The swiveling ball enables you to aim the speaker to one side or the other, or to tilt it up or down. Stereo imaging may be improved by aiming the front speakers toward the listening position, especially for music selections. In Dolby® Digital and DTS® systems, it is best to aim all of the speakers (except the subwoofer) toward the listening position at about ear-level height. In systems where only analog surround processing (such as Dolby Pro Logic®) is available, it may be preferable to aim the speakers straight out from the wall to obtain a more diffuse sound. 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. 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. 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. You may need to separate the two conductors further in order to thread them through the shelf stand or floor stand adapter. Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (­) terminals. Most manufacturers of speakers and electronics, 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. 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. [. . . ] · Make sure the subwoofer is plugged into an active electrical outlet, and is turned on (Power switch å in the "·" position). · In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/processor is configured so that the subwoofer and LFE output are enabled. If there is no sound from the surround speakers: · Check all wires and connections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other. [. . . ]
