13/11/06 9:53 Side 3 English 31079_CS680_OM_Eng THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING JBL PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM For more than 60 years, JBL has been involved in every aspect of music and film recording and reproduction, from live performances to the recordings you play in your home, car or office. Before deciding where to best place your speakers, survey your room and study Figures 1 and 2.
31079_CS680_OM_Eng 13/11/06 9:53 Side 4 PLACEMENT 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. Center Channel For the center channel, place the speaker directly on top of, or below, your television.
13/11/06 9:53 Side 5 English 31079_CS680_OM_Eng WALL-MOUNTING THE SATELLITES AND CENTER CHANNEL The CS680 satellites and center channel are designed to be mounted on the wall. There is a fixed-mount wall bracket and an adjustable wall bracket provided for each satellite and the center channel. 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.

First, turn off all audio-system power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make your connections. #18-gauge speaker wire with polarity coding is included. 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., +).
