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. 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.

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.

Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured.

If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased:

Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers.

If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum impedance requirements of your receiver/amplifier.

Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured.

If there is no sound coming from one speaker:

Check the “Balance” control on your receiver/ amplifier.

Check all wires and connections
