® CINEMA VISIONTM CVSAT50, CVCEN50, CVSUB50 OWNER'S GUIDE READ FIRST! Important Safety Precautions! CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use this (polarized) plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. 1. Read these instructions. 2. Keep these instructions. 3. Heed all warnings. 4. Follow all instructions. 5. Do not use this apparatus near water. 6. Clean only with a dry cloth. 7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 9. 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. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus. 11.

For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. 17. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A. 18. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. 19. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. 20. Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. 21. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. 22. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 23. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. 24. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition. 25. The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer. Figure A.

JBL Consumer Products INCLUDED CVSAT50 Wall-Mount Bracket Attachment Plate Floor Stand Adaptor Floor Stand Cover One pair of CVSAT50 loudspeakers with mounting brackets, wall-mount bracket attachment plates, floor stand adaptors, floor stand covers and speaker cable. Each CVSAT50 speaker comes with a mounting bracket and metal clip preinstalled. These parts are essential for mounting the speaker on the wall, on an optional floor stand, or on an optional CVTS50 table stand, and, therefore, should never be removed from the speaker. CVSUB50 CVCEN50 Wall-Mount Bracket Attachment Plate Cradle One CVCEN50 loudspeaker with mounting brackets, wall-mount bracket attachment plate, cradle and speaker cable. Each CVCEN50 speaker comes with a mounting bracket and metal clip preinstalled, as shown in the diagram at the bottom of page 7. These parts are essential for mounting the speaker on the wall, or in the included cradle, and, therefore, should never be removed from the speaker. One CVSUB50 powered subwoofer with LFE interconnect cable. 3 SPEAKER PLACEMENT FRONT SPEAKERS CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER (0-2 ft) 0-0.6m SUBWOOFER SURROUND SPEAKERS Single surround back speaker 5 ­ 6 ft 1.5 ­ 1.8m 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. They 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 two feet 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 Vision 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 on 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 on the wall behind the listening position. In 7.1channel applications, place two of the surround speakers in the side positions, and place the two surround back speakers on 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 about earlevel height. In systems where only analog surround processing (such as Dolby Pro Logic*) 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. MOUNTING OPTIONS SATELLITES AND SURROUNDS On shelves using the optional CVTS50 table stands. On the wall. Wall brackets are included. On compatible floor stands available from other manufacturers, using the supplied floor stand adaptors. ATTACHING THE CVTS50 TABLE STAND (AVAILABLE SEPARATELY) TO THE CVSAT50 Important Safety Notes: · The table stand consists of two main parts: a metal column and a glass base. Be extremely careful in handling the fragile glass base to avoid breakage that might result in personal injury. · The CVTS50 table stands are only intended for use with the CVSAT50 speaker. Attempting to use the stands with any other model speaker is unsafe and may result in personal injury and damage to the equipment. · The stands must be placed in a safe location, protected from young children and pets who might topple the stands, possibly resulting in serious injury. Never place the stand so that any part of it is sticking out over the edge of the table, shelf or other surface underneath it. · Do not install the CVSAT50 or any other speaker on the table stand in a horizontal orientation, as this would be unstable and might result in personal injury. Carefully insert the glass base into the slot in the column, lining up the holes in the base with the holes in the bottom of the column. Screw in the bolts, making sure the plastic washers are between the bottom of the glass base and the bolt heads. Tighten the bolts securely using a Philips screwdriver (not supplied). Do not overtighten, as this might strip the threads, which is not covered by the warranty. Prepare the speaker wire as described on page 8. Remove the rubber strip from the back of the column, revealing the wire-management channel. Thread the two conductors through the hole at the top of the channel. Make sure to preserve the proper polar- ity (+ and ­ connections) by placing the positive conductor on the left, and the negative conductor on the right, looking at the front of the stand column. Use the supplied terminal wrench to loosen the red collar of the binding post until the pass-through hole underneath it is revealed. Insert the bare end of the positive wire through the hole, then screw the collar down until it is tight. Follow the same procedure to connect the negative wire to its terminal. Slowly lower the mounting bracket on the satellite onto the top of the metal column of the CVTS50 stand. Gently pull the slack out of the wire. Carefully press the rubber strip in place over the wire-management channel, being careful to keep the speaker wire in the channel and to avoid pinching it with the rubber strip. 5 MOUNTING THE SATELLITES ON OPTIONAL FLOOR STANDS Important Safety Note: The supplied floor stand adaptors facilitate installation with a variety of generalpurpose floor stands available from many manufacturers. Since different stands will have different weight capacities and stability characteristics, it is the customer's responsibility to check with the stand manufacturer or dealer to ascertain whether that specific stand is capable of handling the weight and proportions of these loudspeakers in a safe and stable manner.
