JBL Consumer Products SPEAKER PLACEMENT · As a general rule, bass response increases as a subwoofer is placed closer to a wall. Therefore, bass output is maximized when the subwoofer is placed in a corner. · It is also recommended that the subwoofer be positioned along the same wall as the front loudspeakers. Low-frequency sounds are normally omnidirectional, meaning the listener can't tell where they are generated from. However, frequencies between 75Hz and 150Hz can be localized, especially at higher volume levels. This will activate the subwoofer's low-pass filter, protecting the subwoofer from possible damage and enabling it to operate most efficiently by reproducing only the lowfrequency materials that it is best at handling. NOTE: If your receiver or amplifier only has one sub- woofer output jack, then you will need to use a Y-connector (not included). Plug the male end of the Y-connector into your receiver or amplifier's subwoofer output jack, and connect each of the two female ends to separate RCAtype interconnects. Finally, plug the RCA-type interconnects into the line-level inputs on the subwoofer. Connect each speaker to the corresponding speaker terminals on your receiver or amplifier. Make sure your receiver or processor is correctly configured to indicate that the subwoofer is "On. " Note for advanced users: If your receiver/processor has a built-in low-pass crossover filter for the subwoofer output, you may switch the LFE/ Normal toggle switch to the "LFE" position to bypass the subwoofer's internal crossover. 4 DOLBY PRO LOGIC (NON-DIGITAL) ­ SPEAKER LEVEL Use this installation method for Dolby Pro Logic applications (not Dolby Digital, DTS or other digital processing), where the receiver/processor does not have a subwoofer output, or a volume-controlled preamp (line-) level output: Connect your receiver or amplifier's front left and right speaker terminals to the left and right terminals on the subwoofer that are marked "Speaker Level In. " Connect the left and right terminals on the subwoofer that are marked "Speaker Level Out" to the corresponding terminals on the back of your front left and right speakers. Connect your receiver or amplifier's center, surround and surround back speaker terminals to the corresponding terminals on the back of your center and surround speakers. 5 English OPERATION Power Move the Master Power switch 3 to the "On" position to use the L80/230 subwoofer. If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if the subwoofer will not be used, switch the Master Power switch 3 to the "Off" position. Level Control The subwoofer Level Control 7 adjusts the volume of the subwoofer relative to the rest of the system. Proper level adjustment depends on several variables such as room size, subwoofer placement, type of main speakers and position. Adjust the subwoofer level so that the volume of the bass information is pleasing to you. Crossover Adjustments The Crossover Frequency Control 6 determines the highest frequency at which the subwoofer reproduces sounds. If your main speakers can comfortably reproduce some lowfrequency sounds, set this control to a lower frequency setting, between 50Hz and 100Hz. [. . . ] Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other. · Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier. If there is low (or no) bass output: · Make sure the connections to the left and right "Speaker Inputs" have the correct polarity (+ and ­). · Make sure that the subwoofer is plugged into an active electrical outlet and switched on.
