User manual JBL HTI55 (220-240V)

[. . . ] Slight variations will not diminish your listening pleasure. The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should and, ideally, should face each other and be at a level higher than the listeners' ears. If that is not possible, they may be placed in a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. [. . . ] If the tab is missing, to avoid scratching the grille or baffle you may unfold a paper clip, insert the straight end through one of the holes in the grille, and gently pull up. Determine the correct speaker location. Note: Remove the inner template, which is the paint shield, at the perforation. Use the outer template when cutting the drywall. Although the HTI55 may be oriented either horizontally or vertically, the installation procedure is the same. Note: Always allow at least one-half inch between a wall stud and the speaker cutout or the locking tabs will not be able to swivel into place. Cut the drywall. Connect the speaker wires to the speaker. Place the frame assembly in the wall. Screw down each of the four (six for HTI55) Phillips head screws. The locking tabs will swivel into place and secure the unit to the rear surface of the drywall. The HTI speakers feature unique swivel mounts for the tweeters that enable you to aim the very directional high frequencies toward the listening position, at ear-level height. Before installing the speaker grille, gently press on the outer edge of the tweeter mount to adjust the position of the tweeter. The tweeter will not swivel more than 15 degrees in any direction; do not attempt to force it to move further. You may also rotate the tweeter to orient the JBL logo as desired. Replace the metal grille. For the HTI55 only, attach the JBL logo to the grille to correspond to vertical or horizontal installation. 5 English EXISTING CONSTRUCTION English HTI6C 1/2" 1/2" 1/2" Remove the grille from the speaker frame by pulling on the paper tab.

English PAINTING THE SPEAKER FRAME AND GRILLE JBL HTI Series loudspeakers can be painted to match any decor. If you wish to change their color, the satin finish on the grille and frame will function as a primer coat. Before painting, install the paint shield (in the assembly kit) securely into the recess in the baffle. This will protect the speaker components and baffle from paint residue.

If no subwoofer is being used, make sure the left and right front and rear speakers have been config-ured as "LARGE. " · Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. 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. · Check the "Balance" control on your receiver/amplifier.
