User manual JBL CS 1500

[. . . ] 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, which could result in a fire or electric shock. [. . . ] 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. WALL-MOUNTING THE CSC55 AND CSB5 The CSC55 center channel and the CSB5 are designed to be mounted on the wall. There are two (2) fixed-mount wall brackets provided for the CSC55, and one for the CSB5. Each speaker bracket will require up to three 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. Using the included mounting template (CSC55 only) or the bracket back plate (CSB5 only), mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place the mounting screws. Attach the back plate(s) of the bracket to the wall using three screws (not included). Attach the front plate(s) (with the two holes) of the bracket(s) to the CSC55 or CSB5, using the provided screws. Slide the CSC55 or CSB5 speaker with attached bracket front plate(s) onto the back plate(s) of the bracket(s). CSC55 Once positioned properly, the speaker should slide down slightly and become secure. To remove the speaker from the wall, simply slide the speaker up. NOTE: The customer is responsible for the correct selection and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware stores) to ensure the proper and safe wallmounting of the speakers. CSB5 NOTE: Remove the base of the CSB5 by removing the two screws on the bottom of the speaker. 5 English SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS CST55 CSB5, CSC55 To provide a neater installation, the CST55 allows you to insert the speaker wires through holes in the base. Simply separate and strip the wires as described above, loosen the terminals and insert each wire into its corresponding hole in the base. Then tighten down the terminals. 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 to denote 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. Wiring "out of phase" results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. With the advent of multichannel surround sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important in order to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of the program material. To use the binding-post speaker terminals, unscrew the colored collar until the pass-through hole in the center post is visible under the collar. Insert the bare end of the wire through this hole; then screw the collar down until the connection is tight. The hole in the center of each collar is intended for use with banana-type connectors. [. . . ] · 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 ­). · Make sure the subwoofer is plugged into an active electrical outlet and is turned on (Power switch a pushed in). · In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/ processor is configured so that the subwoofer and LFE output are enabled. 9 English SPECIFICATIONS SYSTEM Frequency Response 27Hz ­ 30kHz (­6dB) CST55 Maximum Recommended Amplifier Power 150 Watts* Power Handling 50W Continuous/300W Peak Frequency Response 55Hz ­ 30kHz (­6dB) Nominal Impedance 8 Ohms Sensitivity 90dB @ 1 Watt/1 meter Tweeter One 3/4" (19mm) titanium-laminate dome, video-shielded Woofers Dual 130mm (5") transducers with PolyPlasTM cones, neodymium magnets and HeatScapeTM motor structure, video-shielded Dimensions (H x W x D) (including wall-mount bracket and grille) 1168 x 286 x 286mm (46" x 11-1/4" x 11-1/4") Weight 7. 7kg (17 lb) CSB5 Maximum Recommended Amplifier Power 125 Watts* Power Handling 40W continuous/300W peak Frequency Response 60Hz ­ 30kHz (­6dB) Nominal Impedance 8 Ohms Sensitivity 88dB @ 1 watt/1 meter Tweeter 3/4" (19mm) Titanium-laminate dome, video-shielded Woofer 5" (130mm) Transducer with PolyPlasTM cone, neodymium magnet and HeatScapeTM motor structure, video-shielded Dimensions (H x W x D) (including base and grille) 363 x 155 x 116mm (14-5/16" x 6-1/8" x 4-9/16") Weight 2. 3kg (5 lb) Dimensions (H x W x D) (without base and with wall-mount bracket and grille) 338 x 155 x 130mm (13-5/16" x 6-1/8" x 5-1/8") Weight 2kg (4. 5 lb) CSC55 Maximum Recommended Amplifier Power 150 Watts* Power Handling 50W Continuous/300W Peak Frequency Response 55Hz ­ 30kHz (­6dB) Nominal Impedance 8 Ohms Sensitivity 90dB @ 1 watt/1 meter Tweeter One 19mm (3/4") titanium-laminate dome, video-shielded Woofers Dual 130mm (5") transducers with PolyPlasTM cones, neodymium magnets and HeatScapeTM motor structure, video-shielded Dimensions (H x W x D) (including wall-mount bracket and grille) 159 x 667 x 108mm (6-1/4" x 26-1/4" x 4-1/4") Weight 4. 5kg (10 lb) CSS10 Amplifier Power 150 Watts RMS Frequency Response 27Hz ­ Low-pass crossover setting at signal source Low-Frequency Driver 250mm (10") cone and HeatScapeTM motor structure, video-shielded Input LFE preamp level Dimensions (H x W x D) (including feet) 464 x 337 x 406mm (18-1/4" x 13-1/4" x 16") Weight 19. 5kg (43 lb) All features and specifications are subject to change without notice.
