sides of the listening position. The two remaining speakers are referred to as back surround speakers, as they are placed in back of (behind) the listening position. In 7.1-channel applications, place two of the surround speakers in the side positions, and place the two back surround speakers on the rear wall.

In Dolby Digital and DTS systems, such as JBL Cinema Vision, it is best to aim all of the speakers (except the subwoofer) toward the listening position at about ear- level height.

The low-frequency material reproduced by the subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this speaker may be placed in a con- venient 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.

Step Two: Thanks to its sophisticated video processor, the CVR700 is able to upconvert composite, S-video and compo- nent video source signals for a single- cable connection to the screen. Connect the included proprietary JBL Digital Link™ cable to the Output to JBL Cinema Vision CVPD50 Screen 33 on the back of the CVR700, and to the digital input on the underside of the CVPD50. The connec- tor is located on the right side of the screen when facing it. You may wish to use a mirror to assist you in orienting the cable connector correctly. Note that this cable uses a proprietary system, and should not be connected to any display device other than the CVPD50.

The jack for the AC power cord is located on the left side of the CVPD50. Make sure the master power switch next to the jack is in the “0” position before plugging in the AC power cord. Again, a mirror may be helpful in locating the jack and switch. Do not turn the master power switch to the “1” or on position until after all components have been connected.

Step Three: Assemble the supplied AM Loop Antenna so that the tabs at the bottom of the antenna loop snap into the holes in the base. Connect it to the AM Antenna Terminals 32 .

Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM (75-ohm) Connection 31 . The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire-lead antenna or a connection from a cable TV system. If the antenna or connection uses 300- ohm twin-lead cable, you must use an optional 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adaptor to make the connection.

If you would like to install any external source devices in your system, proceed to Step Four below. Otherwise, you are almost ready to begin enjoying your JBL Cinema Vision home theater system.

Step Four: You may wish to install addi- tional components to your system. We re- commend installing devices to the source input jacks labeled for the corresponding device type to benefit from both the pre- assignment of digital audio inputs, and the programming of the two remote controls.

Audio/video components require that both an audio and a video connection be made. The type of connection will depend on the capabilities of your component.

Audio connections may be analog or digi- tal. We recommend using digital audio connections whenever possible for supe- rior sound reproduction. You may also wish to make analog audio connections as a backup.

Video connections for most devices may be composite video (yellow jacks), S- video (four-pin connector) or component (Y/Pr/Pb – green, red and blue jacks) video. Choose only one type of video connection for each source component. Whenever possible, we recommend using component video connections for the best quality. S-video provides an excellent alternative, and composite video may be used when neither S-video or component video signals are available. As mentioned above, the CVR700 will upconvert each video format to the proper digital video format for the CVPD50. However, if you are using another display device, you will need to make a video monitor output con- nection to the display corresponding to each type of video format used by your source components.

NOTES:

•The input source selectors and their associated control codes on each of

the two remotes are preprogrammed to operate only certain types of devices, as listed below, although you may con- nect any compatible audio/video device to any of the inputs. Although you may reprogram an input selector on the main remote control so that its device type matches the device you wish to connect, the secondary remote’s input selectors may not be reprogrammed. Therefore, we recommend that you con- nect compatible devices to each source.

•The analog and digital audio connec- tions, as well as the composite, S- video and component video connec- tions, are dedicated to each source input as labeled and may not be reas- signed to another source. Be certain to make all of the connections for each source device to the correct jacks.

Cable/Satellite Source Input

Since the JBL Cinema Vision system does not include a TV tuner, you may wish to connect a cable TV box, satellite TV receiver, HDTV set-top tuner or another device capable of receiving TV broad- casts to the CVR700. This device should be connected to the Cable/Sat source input jacks. Select either the Cable/

Satellite Coaxial Digital Audio Input

dor the Cable/Satellite Optical Digital Audio Input i for your digital audio connection. If desired, connect the analog audio outputs of the component to the Cable/Satellite Analog Audio Inputs ‹. If available, connect the com- ponent video outputs of your device to the Cable/Satellite Component Video Inputs °. Otherwise, connect either an S-video or composite video output from the component to the Cable/Satellite Analog Video Inputs ‹.

NOTE: When using a source connected

via the Cable/Satellite Component

Video Inputs °, due to limitations in the CVR700’s audio section, it is neces- sary to also connect the corresponding
