JBL STAGE SERIES ® LOUDSPEAKERS ENGLISH
ENGLISH THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THIS JBL® PRODUCT For more than 68 years, JBL® engineers have been involved in every aspect of music and film recording and reproduction, from live performances to the recordings you play on-the-go and in your home, car or office. We’re confident that the JBL system you have chosen will provide every note of enjoyment you expect – and that when you think about purchasing additional audio equipment, you will once again choose JBL products.
PLACEMENT STAGE A190/A180/A170 – LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNELS For best results, place the speakers 6 – 10 feet (1.8m – 3m) apart. Angling the speakers toward the listening position can improve the stereo imaging. The speakers will produce the most accurate stereo soundstage when the angle between the listener and the speakers is between 40 and 60 degrees. Use the included carpet spikes for stability and improved performance if you are placing your Stage A190/A180/ A170 speakers on a thick rug or plush carpeting.
ENGLISH STAGE A125C/135C You should place the center speaker directly above or below the center of your TV screen. TV 0–2 ft (0–61cm) A125C/A135C Center Speaker TV Note: You can place A125C/A135C below or above the TV. Note: For better audio listening performance, please align the center speaker towards your head level position.
STAGE A120 – SURROUND CHANNELS (5.1-CHANNEL SYSTEM) When you use these speakers as surround-channel speakers in a 5.1-channel system, place them slightly behind the listening position, f acing each other. Ideally, they should be 5 – 6 feet (1.5m – 1.8m) above the floor. An alternate location would be on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves while they’re playing.
ENGLISH CONNECTIONS CAUTION: Make sure that all of the system’s electrical components are turned OFF (and preferably unplugged from their A C outlets) before making any connections. Speakers and amplifiers have corresponding positive and negative ("+" and "–") connection terminals. All Stage series speakers have connection terminals that are marked "+" and "–" on the terminal-cup assembly. Additionally, the "+" terminals have red markings, while the "–" terminals have black markings.
