THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING A JBL
®
PRODUCT!
This quick-start guide contains all the information you need to connect
and set up your new JBL Cinema BD300 home theater system.
To conserve our natural resources, your home theater system does
not include a printed owner’s manual. An owner’s manual containing
complete information about operating all of your new home theater
system’s features is available at our Web site. Go to www.jbl.com and
download the Cinema BD300 Home Theater System Owner’s Manual.
Your Cinema BD300 system is designed to be compatible with
region management information that is encoded on most Blu-ray
Disc and DVD recordings. Your system will only play discs that
contain region coding for the area where your system was shipped
and intended for sale:

For example, Cinema BD300 systems shipped to and sold in the
USA will only play Blu-ray Discs that contain region code A and
DVD discs that contain region code 1.
CONNECTIONS
CONNECT THE SPEAKERS
CAUTION: Before making any connections to the BD300 receiver,
ensure that the receiver’s AC cord is unplugged from the receiver
and the AC outlet. Making speaker connections with the receiver
plugged in and turned on could damage your speakers.
Your Cinema BD300 receiver has color-coded speaker connectors and
the Cinema BD300 speaker wires are color-coded to make it easy to
properly connect the speakers.
