adapter. It will snap securely into place. The other end of the multiunit
wiring adapter will already be connected to the other speaker already

11. Connect the wires to the terminal assembly and place the speaker on

the remaining bracket.

IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making
any connections. For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire
with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is
usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +).

NOTE: If desired, consult your local JBL dealer about speaker wire and
connection options.

The speakers have coded terminals that
accept a variety of wire connectors. The most
common connection is shown in the diagram
to the left. To ensure proper polarity, connect
each + terminal on the back of the amplifi er
or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal
on each speaker, as shown. Connect the
– (black) terminals in a similar way. See
the owner’s guides that were included with
your amplifi er, receiver and television to
confi rm connection procedures.

IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making
connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.
