PLACEMENT (2) Speakers (2) Adjustable wall brackets with tightening bar (2) Fixed wall brackets NOTE: The CS400SAT can be placed directly on a shelf, or mounted on a wall using the included wall brackets. As Left and Right Front Channels For left and right front channels, place one satellite to the left and another to the right of the television, as shown in Figure 1. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place them very close to the TV without worrying about the magnetic field distorting the picture. As Surround Channels For left and right surround channels, place one speaker on the left and another on the right, to the side of or slightly behind the listening area. [. . . ] In 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s) behind the listening position, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. NOTE: A powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to both music and film soundtracks. Contact your JBL dealer for recommendations on subwoofer models for your application. Couch PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM Before deciding where to best place your speakers, survey your room and study Figures 1 and 2.

Figure 1. In this overhead view of a typical installation, satellite speakers are used to reproduce sound for the front and surround channels. The center channel reproduces sound and dialogue. The powered subwoofer provides bass for effects and music. 3 WALL-MOUNTING THE SATELLITES The CS400SAT is designed to be mounted on the wall. There is a fixed-mount wall bracket and an adjustable wall bracket provided for each satellite. Each speaker bracket will require up to four 1-1/2" #10 wood screws; each screw should be fastened to a wall stud. If a wall stud is unavailable, install an anchor appropriate for a 1-1/2" #10 screw. ® Step 4. Unscrew round collar (C) from bracket (A). Also, consult the owner's manuals that were included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm connection procedures. Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 4. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the ­ (black) terminals in the same way. Do not reverse polarities (i. e. , + to ­, or ­ to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response. Be certain that positive and negative wire strands are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may damage your equipment. NOTE: On certain models using hexagonal terminal nuts, a small socket wrench is provided to help in properly tightening the terminals. Hand-tighten only and do not overtighten. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE The enclosure may be cleaned using a soft cloth to remove fingerprints or to wipe off dust. All wiring connections should be inspected and cleaned or remade periodically. [. . . ] All wiring connections should be inspected and cleaned or remade periodically. The frequency of maintenance depends on the metals involved in the connections, atmospheric conditions and other factors, but once per year is the minimum. If a problem occurs, make sure that all connections are properly made and clean. If a problem exists in one loudspeaker, reverse the connection wires to the left and right system. [. . . ]
