User manual JBL TL260

[. . . ] ® TL260 OWNER'S GUIDE SPEAKER PLACEMENT MODEL: TL260 Proper placement of the speakers is an important step in obtaining the most realistic soundstage possible. These recommendations are for the optimum placement of the loudspeakers. The TL260 loudspeaker is videoshielded and may safely be placed near a television. SPEAKER SETUP This TL260 features four rubber feet that enable it to be placed on a smooth-surfaced floor, such as tile or hardwood. [. . . ] NOTE: If desired, consult your local JBL dealer about speaker wire and connection options. The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors. To ensure proper polarity, connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker, as shown in Figure 3. See the owner's guides that were included with your amplifier, receiver and television to confirm connection procedures. IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i. e. , + to ­ or ­ to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response. Figure 2. This example shows how to connect bare wires to the terminals. Figure 1. This figure shows how to connect bare wires to the terminals. Figure 3. Wiring diagram shows polarity connections for one channel of a stereo or home theater system. 2 BI-WIRING The outer connection panel and internal dividing network of the TL260 is designed so that separate sets of speaker cables can be attached to the low-frequency transducer and midrange/highfrequency transducer portions of this dividing network. Bi-wiring can provide several sonic advantages and considerably more flexibility in power amplifier selection. Single-Stereo Amplifier Figure 5. Dual-Stereo Amplifier Figure 4. Figure 6. TROUBLESHOOTING If there is no sound from any of the speakers: · Check that receiver/amplifier is on and that a source is playing. · Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier. If there is no sound coming from one speaker: If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased: · Check the "Balance" control on your receiver/amplifier. · Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. · Make sure no wires are touching other wires or terminals and creating a short circuit. · In Dolby® Digital or DTS® modes, make sure that the receiver/ processor is configured so that the speaker in question is enabled. · Turn off all electronics and switch the speaker in question with one of the other speakers that is working correctly.
