JBL CS3, CS5 manual Connecting the AC Power, First Turn-On, Basic Playback Preparation

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

A)Front channel speaker installation with direct-view TV sets or rear-screen projectors

B)The distance between the left and right speakers should be equal to the distance from the seating position to the viewing screen. You may also experiment with placing the left and right speakers slightly forward of the center speaker. Rear speaker mounting is an alternate location for 5.1 systems.

Rear surround speakers may also be used in 5.1-channel mode as an alternative mounting position when it is not practical to place the main surround speakers at the sides of the room. Speakers may be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. As with the side speakers, the center of the rear surrounds should face you. The speakers should be no more than 2 meters behind the rear of the seating area.

Subwoofers produce largely nondirectional sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere in a room. Actual placement should be based on room size. One method of finding the optimal location for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it in the front of the room, about 15cm from a wall, or near the front corner of the room. Another method is to temporarily place the subwoofer in the spot where you will normally sit, and then walk around the room until you find a spot where the subwoofer sounds best. Place the subwoofer in that spot.

Connecting the AC Power

NOTES:

•The Power Requirement is: AC 230V, 50Hz.

•Connecting to power other than the one listed above may damage the system or cause abnormal operation.

•Before connecting the AC power cord of this system to a wall outlet, connect the speakers and other component cables to the system.

•Connect the AC power cord of the active subwoofer.

•Connect the AC power cords of your TV and any optional components to a wall outlet.

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps are to program the system configuration mem- ories.

First Turn-On

You are now ready to power up the CS3/CS5 receiver to begin final adjustments.

1.Plug the Power Cable ￿ into an unswitched AC outlet. Note that the Power Indicator 1 will turn orange, indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.

2.Remove the protective plastic film from the main front-panel lens. If left in place, the film may affect the performance of your remote control.

3.Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+) and (–) polarity indicators that are on the top of the battery compartment.

4.Turn the CS3/CS5 on either by pressing the Power On/Off 1 or the Input Source Selectors 0 on the remote control. The Power Indicator 1 will turn blue to confirm that the unit is on, and the Main Information Display  will also light up.

Basic Playback

Preparation

1.Switch the TV ON and select its video input connected to the CS receiver.

2.When you switch on the CS system receiver, a JBL welcome image should appear on the screen. If that screen appears dis- torted or without color, change the appropriate settings at the Video Setting submenu according to your TV set and to the con- nection used between the CS receiver and your TV.

3.If there is no picture at all, not even the JBL screen, check the setting of the video input used on your TV (most SCART inputs on TVs can be configured in the TV’s menu). If this doesn’t work, connect your TV with different cables to the CS receiver, e.g., via composite (yellow jacks) or S-video cables, rather than SCART to view the setup menus until all appropriate Video menu settings are made properly.

4.Press Open/Close 27 to open the disc tray.

5.Place a disc on the disc tray.

Hold the disc without touching either of its surfaces, position it with the side you wish to play facing down, align it with the guides, and place it in its proper position.

• 3" (8cm) discs or 5" (12cm) discs can be used.

6.After the discs slides into the loader, it will start playing automatically.

•When the disc tray is closed by pressing Open/Close 27, play will start automatically.

•With most DVDs, a Disc menu appears on the screen. Select specific menu item by using Arrow 9 buttons on the remote, then press Enter 6.
