Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer, as they may cause hazards. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. [. . . ] You may leave the surround back speaker out of your system altogether if your receiver/processor only supports 5. 1 channels. Experiment with their place-
ment until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main-program material heard in the front speakers. 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.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
CONNECTION TIPS
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 for the () terminal. 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 connect the supplied speaker wires to the satellite and center speaker terminals, press the red or black plastic tab for the desired terminal, insert the bare end of the wire into the hole and release the tab. To use the binding-post speaker terminals on the subwoofer, unscrew the colored collar until the passthrough 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.

DOLBY* PRO LOGIC* (NON-DIGITAL) SPEAKER LEVEL
Use this installation method for Dolby Pro Logic applications (not Dolby Digital, DTS® or other digital processing), where the receiver/processor does not have a subwoofer output, or a volume-controlled preamp (line-) level output: Connect your receiver or amplifier's front left and right speaker terminals to the left and right terminals on the subwoofer that are marked "High Level In. " Connect the left and right terminals on the subwoofer that are marked "High Level Out" to the corresponding terminals on the back of your front left and right speakers. Connect your receiver or amplifier's center, surround and surround back speaker terminals to the corresponding terminals on the back of your center and surround speakers.

Use this installation method for Dolby Pro Logic applications (not Dolby Digital, DTS or other digital processing), where the receiver/ processor is equipped with a subwoofer output, or a
volume-controlled preamp (line-) level output: Use RCA-type patch cords to connect the line-level subwoofer outputs on your receiver or amplifier to the line-level inputs on the subwoofer. IMPORTANT: Do not

use the LFE input on the subwoofer with Dolby Pro Logic processors. NOTE: If your receiver or amplifier only has one subwoofer output jack, then you will need to use a Y-connector (not included). Plug the male end of the Yconnector into your receiver or amplifier's subwoofer output jack, and connect each of the two female ends to separate RCA-type patch cords. Finally, plug the RCAtype patch cords into the line-level inputs on the subwoofer. [. . . ] · 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. If it is not, check to see whether your receiver/amplifier has other surround modes you may use. · In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/processor is configured so that the surround speakers are enabled.
