Connecting The Speakers - JVC TH-A5 Instructions Manual

Connecting the Speakers

Connect the satellite speakers, center speaker, and subwoofer to the
terminals on the rear panel using speaker cords supplied.
Labels are attached to the speaker cords to indicate the speaker and
the terminal to which each is to be connected.
• The four satellite speakers can be used for any positions—front
left and right, and rear left and right.
• Connect the white cord to the red (+) terminal, and the black cord
to the black (–) terminal respectively.
CAUTION:
Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the
speaker terminals.

1 Press and hold the terminal clamp.
2 Insert the speaker cord.
3 Release the finger from the clamp.
Note:
If the speaker cord is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl
by twisting it as shown in the diagram.
When setting the speakers
To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to
place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance
from the listening position with each front faced toward the listener.
Since bass sound is non-directional, you can place a subwoofer
wherever you like. Normally place it in front of you.

If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance from the
listening position
You can adjust the delay time of the center speaker and rear
speakers. For in-depth information about adjusting the delay time,
see "Setting the Delay Time" on page 17.
Note:
You can change the phase of subwoofer sounds by connecting the
speaker cords to the terminals inversely—the white cord to the black
terminal, and the black cord to the red terminal. You may get the more
effective bass sounds by changing the phase.
CAUTION:
• When attaching the satellite speakers on the wall, have them
attached to the wall by a qualified person.
DO NOT attach the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to
avoid an unexpected damage of their falling from the wall, caused
by incorrect attachment or weakness in the wall.
• Care is required in selecting a location for attaching speakers to the
wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to equipment, may result if the
speakers are attached in a location which interferes with daily
activities.
