JBL Consumer Products INCLUDED Each model sold separately CSC55 CSS10 Grille CST55 (2) Wall brackets CSB5 Grille Grille (1) Wall bracket 3 SPEAKER PLACEMENT FRONT SPEAKERS CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER 0­2 ft 0­0.6m SUBWOOFER SURROUND SPEAKERS Single surround back speaker may be used with 6.1 receivers and processors. Alternate placement for surround speakers when only 5.1 channels are used; required placement for surround back speakers in 7.1-channel systems. The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. The CSB5 speakers should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listeners' ears will be, or they may be angled toward the listeners. The center channel speaker should be placed slightly behind the front left and right speakers, and no more than 2 feet (0.6m) above or below the tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is often convenient to set the center speaker on top of the television set, as shown in the drawing. The JBL Cinema Sound speaker system may be used in 5.1-, 6.1- or 7.1-channel applications. In 5.1-channel applications, two of the surround speakers should be 4 placed slightly behind the listening position 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 against a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. In 6.1-channel applications, two of the surround speakers should be placed in the side positions, and a single surround back speaker should be placed against the wall behind the listening position. 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. WALL-MOUNTING THE CSC55 AND CSB5 The CSC55 center channel and the CSB5 are designed to be mounted on the wall. There are two (2) fixed-mount wall brackets provided for the CSC55, and one for the CSB5. Each speaker bracket will require up to three 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. Step 1. Using the included mounting template (CSC55 only) or the bracket back plate (CSB5 only), mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place the mounting screws. Step 2. Attach the back plate(s) of the bracket to the wall using three screws (not included). Step 3. Attach the front plate(s) (with the two holes) of the bracket(s) to the CSC55 or CSB5, using the provided screws. Step 4. Slide the CSC55 or CSB5 speaker with attached bracket front plate(s) onto the back plate(s) of the bracket(s). CSC55 Once positioned properly, the speaker should slide down slightly and become secure. To remove the speaker from the wall, simply slide the speaker up. NOTE: The customer is responsible for the correct selection and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware stores) to ensure the proper and safe wallmounting of the speakers. CSB5 NOTE: Remove the base of the CSB5 by removing the two screws on the bottom of the speaker. 5 English SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS CST55 CSB5, 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. The hole in the center of each collar is intended for use with banana-type connectors.

Connect this jack to the LFE output or subwoofer output on your receiver or amplifier. Connect each speaker to the corresponding speaker terminals on your receiver or amplifier. Make sure that you have configured your surround sound processor for "Subwoofer On." Also configure your receiver for 5.1-, 6.1- or 7.1-channel operation as appropriate. The front left, front right, center and rear speakers should all be set to "Small." If your receiver allows you to set the crossover frequency between the subwoofer and the main speakers, select 100Hz or the setting that is the closest frequency below it. DOLBY PRO LOGIC® (NON-DIGITAL) ­ LINE LEVEL 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 volumecontrolled preamp (line-) level output: Use RCA-type interconnects 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. Left Front ­ + Center ­ + Right Front ­ + Subwoofer Line Level In L R Receiver Left Front Subwoofer Out R L Right Front NOTE: If your receiver or amplifier has only one subwoofer output jack, then you will need to use a Y-connector (not included). Plug the male end of the Y-connector into your receiver or amplifier's subwoofer output jack, and connect each of the two female ends to separate RCA-type interconnects. Fin ...
