11.Main Power Switch

Place this switch in the On position at all times during normal use.

12.Power Trigger Input Jack

When using the JBL BassQ processor in a JBL Performance Series system with the AV1 digital surround processor, you will need to use the trigger cable set included with the AV1. Connect the DIN end of the cable to the Trigger Output DIN jack on the rear panel of the AV1, and connect the 1/8" (3.5mm) plug to the Trigger Input Jack ￿on the rear panel of the JBL BassQ unit.

If the JBL BassQ unit is used with another component (such as the AV2) that uses a trigger for automatic turn- on and turn-off, make sure the other component’s output is between 3 and 24 volts DC. Connect the trigger output jack on the other component to the 1/8" (3.5mm) Trigger Input Jack ￿on the JBL BassQ unit using the cable included with the JBL BassQ unit. Whenever a power-on trigger is used to operate the JBL BassQ processor, make sure that the JBL BassQ Main Power Switch ￿ is in the On position. If the Trigger source (AV1 or another source unit featuring power-on trigger) is on, the JBL BassQ LED Standby Indicator ™ will glow blue. If the Trigger source is off or in Standby, the JBL BassQ unit will also go into Standby and its LED Standby Indicator ™ will turn red. The remote control will overide the trigger input.

13.Power Trigger Outputs

If you wish to have other components in your system turn on via trigger, make sure they are compatible with the 1/8" (3.5mm) 12-volt DC Trigger Output Jack ￿ on the JBL BassQ unit. If they are, you may connect the Trigger Output Jack ￿ to the first component’s trigger input using one of the cables included with the JBL Performance Series AVA7, and

then connect all components in daisy- chain fashion.

There are five trigger outputs on the rear panel of the JBL BassQ unit.

•Pass-through sends the 12-volt trigger signal out in parallel to the input.

Use this to trigger the AVA7 amplifier, or the first amplifier you are using in the system.

•2S sends the 12-volt signal 2 seconds after the input is received.

•4S sends the 12-volt signal 4 seconds after the input signal is received.

•6S sends the 12-volt signal 6 seconds after the input signal is received.

•8S sends the 12-volt signal 8 seconds after the input signal is received.

14.Movie Trigger Input

Using a 12-volt trigger from the Movie/ Music switching can be automated.

If you are using the AV1 processor, use the DIN-to-mini trigger cable included with the AV1, as this switching is already programmed into the trigger outputs of the AV1. If you are using the AV2 or another component that has a programmable trigger, use the 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable included with the JBL BassQ unit. The remote control will overide the trigger input.

15.Subwoofer Inputs

There are two subwoofer inputs. If using an AV1 processor or other processor that has a single subwoofer or LFE output, connect the subwoofer output to the Left input and set the input mode to Mono on the front panel of the JBL BassQ unit. Do not connect the input to the Right input jack, as no sig- nal will be processed. If you are using a preamp/processor such as the AV2, or an AVR that has stereo subwoofer outputs, connect the left and right inputs and set the mode to Stereo on the front panel of the JBL BassQ unit.

16.Subwoofer Outputs

There are four subwoofer outputs. These correspond to two subwoofers per side. For best performance,

it is recommended that you use at least two subwoofers placed in the front left and front right corners of the room. These would use the L1 (Left 1) and R1 (Right 1) outputs. If four sub- woofers are used, the additional sub- woofers would be connected to the

L2 (Left 2) and R2 (Right 2) outputs. If stereo input is used, the left and right outputs will pass through the respective input signal as a stereo subwoofer.

17.AC Inlet

Your JBL BassQ processor is shipped with an IEC-type, removable power cord that mates with the AC inlet on the rear panel. To ensure proper operation, use the supplied power cords. The JBL BassQ processor is a multivoltage unit and can operate from 110 to 240 volts, 50Hz to 60Hz. Two cords are supplied. One is a 120-volt cord for use in North America, and the second is a generic cord, which requires that the correct mating plug be attached for your country’s specific type.

18.RS-232 Port

This port is for factory use only. No user features are available at this time.
