CENTER AND SATELLITE SPEAKERS
Your five
surround speakers consist of 2 matching front satellites, 2
matching rear satellites and a shielded center channel.
Each piece is clearly marked on the rear label for correct
placement.
SUBWOOFER
Your Jensen Subwoofer delivers
powerful, deep bass, for a natural, life-like sonic experi-
ence. Please follow the directions in this
manual to achieve the best performance from your system.
The hook-up and operation of the Subwoofer is the same
for a Home Theater surround sound system or a stereo
music system. The Subwoofer has its own built-in
amplifier, so it works with any sound system. The
Subwoofer’s own crossover network sends bass-only
signals to the Subwoofer’s built-in amplifier. This lets the
Subwoofer add extra bass to the output from your other
speakers.
HOW TO PLACE YOUR SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The optimum listening position is at the tip of the
so-called “stereo triangle”. The equilibrium between the
right and left stereo channels is best in this position,
providing the most balanced and realistic sound
reproduction.
Install the speakers at least 12” away from your
television set to avoid interference to the TV picture by the
magnetic fields. This restriction does not apply for the
center speaker, which is magnetically shielded so that it
can be placed in the direct vicinity of the television set.
Some other speakers are also shielded, please check the
specifications to determine which speakers are
shielded.
Locate the Center Channel on top of or under the
television or monitor. One of the Front Satellite Speakers
should be located on either side of the television.
Your Jensen Subwoofer must sit on the floor, preferably in
a corner, to work properly. The floor and corner are
actually a part of the Subwoofer’s design.
Place your Subwoofer in the corner nearest your system’s
electronic components to keep wire or cable runs short.
NOTE: Do not locate the front satellites closer that 12
inches from the television. The magnetic field from them
can interfere with the television’s picture. The Center
Channel is shielded, allowing it to be located immediately
next to the television without interference. Locate the rear
2 satellites behind or to the side of the main listening
location. (see Surround System Diagram).
CONNECTING THE SURROUND SPEAKERS
Your
Receiver will have clearly marked terminals for connecting
the Satellite and Center Channel Speakers. The most
common type of connection is spring loaded. Press down
on the tab and insert the stripped wire tips into the opening.
IMPORTANT: Always connect the red (+) terminal on the
Receiver to the red (+) terminal on the corresponding
Speaker i.e. Front Left. Connect the corresponding black
(-) terminal on the Receiver to the black (-) terminal on the
same Speaker. Continue until all of the speakers have
been connected in this manner.
