"Line Input" - Use the RCA
(phono) input jacks labeled "Line
Input" when connecting from a
line-level device, such as a pre-
amp, crossover, signal processor,
or when using any of the line-level
outputs on the rear of your
receiver/T.V./source amplifier. If
your receiver has a single RCA
output for sending the signal to the
subwoofer, you may connect this
output to the R or L input jack on
your PS subwoofer. Or, you may
connect it to both R & L input jacks
by using a "y" adapter. Many
stereo/ large screen T.V.'s have
stereo (R & L) RCA jacks for
sending the signal to external
audio equipment. Your subwoofer
connects to these using both the
R & L input jacks. (See Fig. 1).
"Speaker Level Input (from
amplifier)" - Use these inputs
when connecting to the speaker
out (speaker mains) of your
receiver/T.V./source amplifier. Run
speaker wires from the speaker
output terminals (usually coded
red and black) on the rear of your
receiver/T.V./source amplifier to
the red and black input terminals
labeled "Speaker Level Input (from
amplifier)" on the PS subwoofer.
(See Fig. 2)
Preparing the speaker level
hookup wire
Your JBL dealer can recommend
suitable cables, or you can buy
wire at most hardware stores.
High quality connectors and cable
offer consistent performance that
does not deteriorate over time.
We recommend #16 AWG two-
conductor insulated wire as a
CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Before making any
connections to your subwoofer,
make sure the power to your
entire system is OFF.
VOLTAGE SELECTION
The Voltage Selector is located on
the rear panel of your PS
Subwoofer above the power
switch. Use a small screwdriver to
slide the switch so the small
groove aligns with the AC voltage
for your area. The illustration
shows the Voltage Selector in the
230V position.
AC POWER
First make sure the Power Switch
on the rear panel of your PS
Subwoofer is in the OFF position,
then plug the AC cord into a wall
socket.
INPUTS
Your PS subwoofer has both line-
level and speaker-level input
connections. Review your
receiver/T.V./source amplifier
instruction manual to see which
outputs your equipment provides,
then follow the appropriate
instructions below.
