JBL’s HT Series takes advantage of our latest technology to deliver incredibly clean, detailed sound. Incorporating JBL’s symmetrical array design and exclusive Bi- Radial® horn, these loudspeakers deliver sound that is distributed over a wide soundstage with pinpoint imaging, and the HT4V is THX® Ultra certified. The horn should be directed at ear level in

order to maximize the imaging characteristics. The Bi-Radial horn design – which greatly reduces room reverberation – along with video-shielding, allows greater placement flexibility within the room. Ultrawide frequency response and high power handling combine to give you clear, powerful sound that you get only from genuine JBL. The HT

loudspeakers are perfect for today’s Dolby* Digital and DTS® recordings.

The HT4H center-channel loudspeaker is designed to complement any of the HT Series loudspeakers. It is the perfect addition for re-creating the cinematic experience in your home.

Alternative Surround-Speaker Placement

For optimum performance, use the HT4H with the grille attached.

The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listeners’ ears will be, or they may be angled toward the listeners.

The HT4H center-channel speaker should be placed slightly behind the front left and right speakers, and no more than two feet above

or below the tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is often convenient to set the center speaker on top of the television set, as shown in the drawing.

The two surround speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position and, ideally, should face each other and be at

alevel higher than the listeners’ ears. If that is not possible, they may be placed in the corners of the room behind the listening position, angled in toward the

center of the listening area. The customer is responsible for proper selection and use of mounting hardware, available through hardware stores, to properly and safely wall-mount the speakers. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main- program material heard in the front speakers.
