JBL continually strives to improve its products. New materials, production methods
and design refinements are introduced into existing models without notice as a rou-
tine expression of our design philosophy. For this reason, JBL loudspeakers may differ
in some respect from their published specifications and descriptions, but will always
equal or exceed the original specifications unless otherwise stated.
If there is no sound from 
the surround speakers, 
check the following:
• Check all wires and con-
nections between receiver/
amplifier and speakers. Make
sure all wires are connected.
Make sure none of the 
speaker wires are frayed, 
cut, or punctured.
• Review proper operation of
your receiver/amplifier and its
surround sound features.
• Make sure the movie or TV
show you are watching is
recorded in Dolby
*
Surround. 
If it is not, check to see if
your receiver/amplifier has
other surround modes you
may use.
If there is no sound from 
the center speaker, check 
the following:
• Make sure that your 
receiver’s Center Channel 
Mode is in the “normal” or 
“wide” position. If it is in 
the “phantom” position, the 
center speaker will not play.
• Check all connections
between processor/amplifier
and the center speaker.
If the system plays at low
volumes but shuts off as
volume is increased, check
the following:
• Check all wires and con-
nections between receiver/
amplifier and speakers. Make
sure all wires are connected.
Make sure none of the 
speaker wires are frayed, 
cut, or punctured.
• If more than one pair of
main speakers is being used,
check the minimum imped-
ance requirements of your
receiver/amplifier.
