[. . . ] Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. [. . . ] In 7. 1-channel applications, place two of the surround speakers in the side positions, and place the two surround back speakers against the rear wall. In Dolby® Digital and DTS® systems, it is best to aim all of the speakers (except the subwoofer) toward the listening position at or slightly above about ear-level height. In systems where only analog surround processing (such as Dolby Pro Logic® II) 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. 3 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS CST55 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. To comply with European CE certification, these holes are blocked with plastic inserts at the point of manufacture. To use banana-type connectors requires the removal of the inserts.
