SCS 138 SAT (serv.man2) - JBL Audio User Guide / Operation Manual. Page 5

The front speakers should be
placed the same distance from
each other as they are from
the listening position. They
should be placed at about the
same height from the floor as
the listeners’ ears will be, or
they may be angled toward the
listeners.

The center-channel speaker
should be placed slightly
behind the front left and right
speakers, and no more than
two feet above or below the
tweeters of the left and right
speakers. It is often conve-
nient to set the center speaker
on top of the television set, as
shown in the drawing. Use the
supplied support leg to aim it
toward the listener by screw-
ing the leg in to angle the

speaker up, or unscrewing the
leg slightly to angle the speak-
er down.

The two surround speakers
should be placed slightly
behind the listening position
and, ideally, should face each
other and be at a level higher
than the listeners’ ears. If that
is not possible, they may be
placed on a wall behind the lis-
tening position, facing forward.
The surround speakers should
not call attention to them-
selves. Experiment with their
placement until you hear a 
diffuse, ambient sound ac
companying the main-program
material heard in the front
speakers.

The SATPAIR 138S speakers
are perfect for bringing music
to additional rooms in your
home. If your receiver or
amplifier is equipped with A/B
speaker switching, simply con-
nect the pair of speakers to the
unused pair of speaker termi-
nals on your receiver, following
the directions in the Speaker
Connections section on 
page 4. If you plan on playing
both pairs of speakers 
simultaneously, check with the
manufacturer of your receiver
or amplifier to find out whether
that use is recommended.
