User manual JBL TRIMLINE L54

[. . . ] The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the mainprogram material heard in the front speakers. The SATPair135 speakers are perfect for bringing music to additional rooms in your home. If your receiver or amplifier is equipped with A/B speaker switching, simply connect the pair of speakers to the unused pair of speaker terminals on your receiver, following the directions in the Speaker Connections section on page 5. [. . . ] Wall brackets are included for the satellite speakers only. On optional stands (FS300). Wall-Mounting 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 wall-mount the speakers. Slide speaker onto support. Place speaker and support on wall plate. 4 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS Connection Tips Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire as shown. 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. To use the spring-type terminals, simply press the colored terminal, insert the bare end of the wire into the hole, and release. The clip inside the terminal grips the wire. Tug the wire gently to make sure that it has been inserted properly. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured. · If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum impedance requirements 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 ­). · Consider adding a powered subwoofer to your system. See your JBL dealer for further assistance. · If you are using a powered subwoofer, check your owner's manual to make sure it is correctly connected and is being used according to the manufacturer's instructions. 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. · Review proper operation of your receiver/processor 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 if your receiver/processor has other surround modes you may use. · In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/processor is configured so that the surround speakers are enabled.
