User manual JBL CS480

[. . . ] Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. [. . . ] There is a fixed-mount wall bracket and an adjustable wall bracket provided for each satellite and the center channel. 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. NOTE: The customer is responsible for the correct selection and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware stores) that will ensure the proper and safe wall-mounting of the speakers. Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place the mounting screws. Attach the bracket to the wall using two screws (not included). Remove the rubber ring on the bottom of the satellite and seat the satellite or center channel speaker onto the back bracket. ® Adjustable Wall Bracket Step 1. Remove the cap over the threaded insert on the rear of the speaker. Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place the mounting screws. Place the bracket against the wall and fasten four 1-1/2" #10 wood screws (not included) through the bracket's screw holes into the wall. If a wall stud is not available, use an appropriate anchor. Step 4. Unscrew the round collar (C) from the bracket (A). Attach the 1/4-20 screw into the insert on the bottom of the speaker and tighten. B C ® Step 5. Screw the ball and shaft assembly (B) to the 1/4"-20 insert on the back of the satellite or the center channel (do not use the bottom insert on either speaker). Back out 1/2 of a turn and tighten the nut against the speaker. If the ball and shaft assembly is not backed out before tightening the nut, performing Step 8 below may dislodge the threaded insert in the speaker housing and permanently damage the speaker. Step 6. Attach the speaker wire as shown on page 7. Drop the round collar (C) over the ball and shaft assembly (B) that is mounted to the speaker with the finished side of the collar facing the rear of the speaker. Carefully push the ball straight into the socket mounted on the wall, angle the speaker as desired and tighten the collar using the enclosed metal bar. Metal bar Figure 3. Bracket on wall. 6 CENTER AND SATELLITE SPEAKER CONNECTIONS Turn Off All Power After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system. Use high-quality speaker wire to make your connections (#18-gauge speaker wire with polarity coding is included). For longer distances, #16-gauge or heavier wire is recommended. [. . . ] However, overall balance must be maintained or the music will not sound natural. An experienced listener will set the volume of the subwoofer so its impact on bass response is always there but never obtrusive. The satellite and subwoofer enclosures 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. The frequency of maintenance depends on the metals involved in the connections, atmospheric conditions and other factors, but once per year is the minimum. [. . . ]
