Operation - JBL Studio LS360C Owner's Manual

NEW CONSTRUCTION
If you wish to preinstall a rough-in frame before the drywall is installed,
you will need to purchase the RIF10C rough-in-frame. Detailed installation
instructions are supplied with the rough-in kit.
PAINTING THE SPEAKER
FRAME AND GRILLE
The LS360C in-ceiling loudspeaker can be painted to match any décor.
If you wish to change the color, the satin finish on the grille and frame will
function as a primer coat. Before painting, install the paint shield (inner
section of template in the assembly kit) securely into the recess in the baffle.
This will protect the speaker components and baffle from paint residue. Use
a high-quality spray paint, and apply a thin coat of color. Be certain the grille
perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with paint will diminish the
sound quality.
NOTE: Gently remove the acoustical foam blanket from the grille before
painting. Reattach the blanket after the paint has dried.

OPERATION

SURROUND SETTINGS
When using the system in a Dolby ® Digital or DTS ® home theater system,
make sure all speakers are set to "Small. "
Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer different setup
options for each source or surround mode: e.g., CD-stereo, videotape, Dolby
or Pro Logic . In each case, follow your equipment's instructions to ensure that
®
the subwoofer (if you have one) output is turned on and that the speakers are
set to "Small" in each mode.
TWEETER-LEVEL CONTROL
In most typical listening rooms, this switch should be left in the neutral or
"0" position. This setting will deliver the most neutral and balanced sound.
In some extreme cases, it may be desirable to slightly boost or cut the
tweeter's output, depending upon the room layout, construction and
furnishings.
If the room is sparsely furnished, contains large exposed windows or is
otherwise very reverberant, you may want to set the control to the "–"
(–1.5dB) position. If the room is exceptionally absorbent because it is well
furnished or has thick curtains and/or carpet, you may want to increase
the tweeter output by setting this switch to the "+" position (+1.5dB).
Of course, the control may be set to either position, based on listener
preference.
BOUNDARY COMPENSATION CONTROL
This control is designed to be engaged when positioning the loudspeaker
within two feet of another surface to eliminate the bass peak caused by
the second surface and to maintain a smooth, natural bass response. For
example, if you need to install your in-ceiling speaker within two feet of a
side wall or corner, it is recommended that the Boundary Compensation
control be set to the "On" position. In all other installations, the control
should typically be set to "Off" . Of course, the control may be set to either
position, based on listener preference.
