PLACEMENT

NOTE: The CS400SAT can be placed directly on a shelf, or mounted on a wall using the included wall brackets.

As Left and Right Front Channels

For left and right front channels, place one satellite to the left and another to the right of the television, as shown in Figure 1. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place them very close to the TV without worrying about the magnetic field distorting the picture.

As Surround Channels

For left and right surround channels, place one speaker on the left and another on the right, to the side of or slightly behind the listening area. The surround speakers should be mounted at a height of between 5 ft. (1.5m) and 7 ft. (2m).

In 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s) behind the listening position, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

NOTE: A powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to both music and film soundtracks. Contact your JBL dealer for recommendations on subwoofer models for your application.

Mounting on Floor Stands

An optional floor stand is available, should you prefer to place your CS400SAT satellites on the floor; see your dealer or visit www.jbl.com for more information.
