User manual JBL SCS145.5

[. . . ] An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. [. . . ] 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. The low-frequency material reproduced by the subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this speaker may be placed in a convenient location in the room. However, bass reproduction will be maximized when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening position and moving around the room until the bass reproduction is best. Place the subwoofer in that location. 4 MOUNTING OPTIONS SATELLITES AND SURROUNDS On shelves. WALL-MOUNTING On the wall. Wall brackets are included. On optional stands (FS1000). Attach plate to wall. The brackets should be placed, if possible, so that the screws will fasten into a wooden wall stud. If that is not possible, use properly selected wall anchors. The customer is responsible for proper selection and use of mounting hardware, available through hardware stores, to properly and safely wallmount the speakers. Slide speaker onto support. IMPORTANT NOTE: The satellite speaker, when mounted on these brackets, can only be adjusted horizontally (left or right). The speaker cannot be adjusted vertically (up or down) or otherwise tilted. Any attempt to do so will damage the speaker bracket wall plate and/or support and such damage will not be covered under warranty. Place speaker and support on wall plate. Make sure that at least 1/4" (6mm) of the wall plate metal shaft is inserted into the support cavity. Continue to firmly press the support onto the wall plate metal shaft until it is fully secured in place. MOUNTING THE SATELLITES ON OPTIONAL FS1000 FLOOR STANDS 3. 2. 1. Attach the stand adaptor to the top of the stand upright with the pins toward the rear of the stand. Fasten the adaptor to the upright with the supplied screw. Place the loudspeaker securely on the stand by inserting the adaptor pin into the grommet on the bottom of the speaker. Connect the wire to the loudspeaker, remembering to preserve the polarity ("+" and "­") (see page 6). 1. 5 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS 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. Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (­) terminals. Most manufacturers of speakers and electronics, including JBL, use red to denote the (+) terminal and black for the (­) terminal. The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted with a stripe. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (­) on the speaker to (­) on the amplifier. [. . . ] Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other. · Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier and its surround sound features. · Make sure the movie or TV show you are watching is recorded in a surround sound mode. If it is not, check to see whether your receiver/amplifier has other surround modes you may use. [. . . ]
