¥Power – This is the main power switch, which must be turned on for the amplifier and electronic internal crossover to function. If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if the PS1400 will not be used, turn this switch off to conserve electricity.

Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire (not supplied) as shown. Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (–) terminals. Most manu- facturers of speakers and electronics, including JBL, use red to denote the (+) terminal and black for the (–) terminal.

The (+) lead of the speaker wire is sometimes noted with a stripe or other demarcation. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier

and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the amplifier. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

With the advent of multi- channel surround-sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important in order to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of the program material.
