Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] To use banana-type connectors requires the removal of the inserts. Do not remove these inserts if you are using the product in an area covered by the European CE certification. BI-WIRING The bi-wire connection method requires one amplifier and two sets of speaker wires. [. . . ] For single-wire connection, leave the shorting bars in place and connect only a single set of speaker wires (two conductors) to the two upper terminals.

SPEAKER SETUP
MODELS: L810, L820, L830, LC1, LC2 The supplied self-adhesive rubber feet may be attached to the bottom corners of your speakers to protect your furniture. MODELS: L880, L890 These models feature four rubber feet that enable them to be placed on a smoothsurfaced floor, such as tile or hardwood. Four metal spikes are supplied for use when the speaker is to be placed on a carpeted surface, to decouple the speaker from the floor and prevent unwanted damping. To insert the spikes, gently lay the speaker on its side (not its front or back) on a soft, nonabrasive surface. Each spike screws into the threaded insert in the center of each rubber foot. Make sure all four spikes are screwed in completely for stability. NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the spikes, the feet and/or the wood cabinet itself. Always lift the speaker and carry it to its new location.

CAUTION: Floorstanding (tower) loudspeakers have a high center of gravity and may become unstable and tip over during earthquakes, or if rocked, tipped or improperly
positioned. If this is a concern, these speakers should be anchored to the wall behind them, using the same procedures and hardware customary for anchoring
bookcases and wall units. In case the template is missing, for corner mounting drill each pilot hole 7-3/4" (197mm) from the corner for model L810, or 9-11/16" (246mm) from the corner for model L820. However, if your corner is not precisely 90
degrees, these measurements may not work. In that case, it is recommended that you contact a professional custom installer, who can determine the correct locations for the pilot holes. Install the loudspeaker by slowly moving the cabinet toward the screws so that the screw heads clear the larger circular portion of the two keyholes. Once both screw heads have entered the keyholes, the loudspeaker should gently be lowered onto the screw shafts. Check that the loudspeaker is firmly locked onto the screws by gently pulling the speaker down and forward.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If there is no sound from any of the speakers:
· Check that receiver/amplifier is on and that a source is playing. · Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.
If there is no sound coming from one speaker:
amplifier, and you should consult the owner's manual for that product for further information. If the problem has followed the speaker, consult your dealer for further assistance or, if that is not possible, visit www. jbl. com for further information.
If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased:
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, punctured or touching each other. · Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier and its surround sound features. · Make sure the movie or TV show you are watching is recorded in a surround sound mode.
