JVC TH-A5 manual Connecting the Speakers

Connecting the Speakers

Connect the satellite speakers, center speaker, and subwoofer to the terminals on the rear panel using speaker cords supplied.

Labels are attached to the speaker cords to indicate the speaker and the terminal to which each is to be connected.

•The four satellite speakers can be used for any positions—front left and right, and rear left and right.

•Connect the white cord to the red (+) terminal, and the black cord to the black (–) terminal respectively.

CAUTION:

Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

2Insert the speaker cord.

Note:

If the speaker cord is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl

When setting the speakers

To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance from the listening position with each front faced toward the listener. Since bass sound is non-directional, you can place a subwoofer wherever you like. Normally place it in front of you.

Left front Center speaker	Right front
speaker	speaker

Subwoofer

Left rear	Right rear
speaker	speaker

If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance from the listening position

You can adjust the delay time of the center speaker and rear speakers. For in-depth information about adjusting the delay time, see “Setting the Delay Time” on page 17.

Note:

You can change the phase of subwoofer sounds by connecting the speaker cords to the terminals inversely—the white cord to the black terminal, and the black cord to the red terminal. You may get the more effective bass sounds by changing the phase.

CAUTION:

•When attaching the satellite speakers on the wall, have them attached to the wall by a qualified person.

DO NOT attach the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid an unexpected damage of their falling from the wall, caused by incorrect attachment or weakness in the wall.

•Care is required in selecting a location for attaching speakers to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to equipment, may result if the speakers are attached in a location which interferes with daily activities.
