Installation & Setup

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety.

Speaker Placement

• Stereo Setup: Place the speakers equidistant from the listening position and the front wall for balanced stereo imaging.

• Ensure adequate ventilation around the speakers.
• Avoid placing speakers in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

Connecting to Your Audio System

Connect the speakers to your amplifier or AV receiver using appropriate speaker cables. Ensure the amplifier is turned OFF before making connections.

Diagram Description: A typical connection diagram would show the rear panel of an amplifier or receiver with speaker outputs labeled 'Front L', 'Front R', 'Surround L', 'Surround R', etc. The speaker cables would be shown connecting from these outputs to the corresponding speaker terminals on the JVC speakers. Polarity (+/-) must be observed.

Speaker Wire Connection

Each JVC speaker features two binding posts for connection. Ensure correct polarity:

• Connect the positive (+) terminal on the amplifier's output to the red (+) terminal on the speaker.
• Connect the negative (-) terminal on the amplifier's output to the black (-) terminal on the speaker.
• Failure to observe polarity may result in poor sound quality and bass response.

Icon Description: A diagram might show a close-up of the speaker terminals with '+' and '-' symbols, and possibly arrows indicating how to insert the speaker wire.

Operation

Once connected and powered on, your JVC speaker system will operate as part of your main audio system.

• Adjust the volume using your amplifier or receiver.
• Ensure your amplifier's settings (e.g., speaker size, crossover) are configured appropriately for your speaker setup.
