NOTE: The CS400SAT can be placed directly on a shelf, or mounted on
a wall using the included wall brackets.
As Left and Right Front Channels
For left and right front channels, place one satellite to the left
and another to the right of the television, as shown in Figure 1.
Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place them
very close to the TV without worrying about the magnetic field
distorting the picture.
PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM
Before deciding where to best place your speakers, survey your
room and study Figures 1 and 2.

As Surround Channels
For left and right surround channels, place one speaker on the left
and another on the right, to the side of or slightly behind the listening
area. The surround speakers should be mounted at a height of
between 5 ft. (1.5m) and 7 ft. (2m).

NOTE: A powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to
both music and film soundtracks. Contact your JBL dealer for
recommendations on subwoofer models for your application.

WALL-MOUNTING THE SATELLITES
The CS400SAT is designed to be mounted on the wall. There is a
fixed-mount wall bracket and an adjustable wall bracket provided for
each satellite. Each speaker bracket will require up to four 1-1/2"#10
wood screws; each screw should be fastened to a wall stud. If a wall
stud is unavailable, install an anchor appropriate for a 1-1/2"#10 screw.
Step 4. Unscrew round collar (C) from bracket (A).

NOTE: The customer is responsible for the correct selection
and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware stores)
that will ensure the proper and safe wall-mounting of the speakers.
Step 5. Screw the ball and shaft assembly (B) to the 1/4"-20 insert
on the back of the satellite (do not use the bottom insert on the
speaker). Back out 1/2 of a turn and tighten the nut against the
speaker. If the ball and shaft assembly is not backed out before
tightening the nut, performing Step 8 below may dislodge the
threaded insert in the speaker housing and permanently damage
the speaker.
Fixed-Mount Wall Bracket
Step 1. Mark the positions on the wall where you would like
to place the mounting screws.
Step 2. Attach the bracket to the wall using two screws
(not included).
Step 3. Remove the rubber ring on the bottom of the satellite,
and sit the satellite onto the back bracket.
Step 4. Attach 1/4-20 screw into insert on bottom of speaker
and tighten.
Step 6. Attach speaker wire as shown on page 5.
Step 7. Drop round collar (C) over ball and shaft assembly (B) that
is mounted to the speaker with the finished side of the collar facing
the rear of the speaker.
Step 8. Carefully push the ball straight into the socket mounted on
the wall, angle the speaker as desired and tighten the collar using
the enclosed metal bar.

Adjustable Wall Bracket
Step 1. Remove cap over threaded insert on rear of speaker
Step 2. Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place
the mounting screws.

Step 3. Place bracket against the wall and fasten four 1-1/2" #10
wood screws through the bracket’s screw holes into the wall. If a
wall stud is not available, use an appropriate anchor.

CONNECTIONS
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system.
First, turn off all audio-system power. Use high-quality speaker wire
to make your connections; #18-gauge speaker wire with polarity cod-
ing is recommended. For longer distances, #16-gauge or heavier wire
is recommended. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is
usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +). Also, consult the owner’s
manuals that were included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm
connection procedures. Observe polarities when making speaker
connections, as shown in Figure 4. Connect each + terminal on the
back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on
each speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.
The enclosure may be cleaned using a soft cloth to remove finger-
prints or to wipe off dust.
All wiring connections should be inspected and cleaned or remade
periodically. The frequency of maintenance depends on the metals
involved in the connections, atmospheric conditions and other fac-
tors, but once per year is the minimum.
If a problem occurs, make sure that all connections are properly
made and clean. If a problem exists in one loudspeaker, reverse the
connection wires to the left and right system. If the problem remains
in the same speaker, then the fault is with the loudspeaker. If the
problem appears in the opposite speaker, the cause is in another
component or cable. In the event that your speaker ever needs
service, contact your local JBL dealer or distributor, or visit
Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to –, or – to +) when making
connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished
bass response. Be certain that positive and negative wire strands
are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may damage your
equipment.
NOTE: On certain models using hexagonal terminal nuts, a small
socket wrench is provided to help in properly tightening the terminals.
Hand-tighten only and do not overtighten.

for one channel of a home theater system.
