one. Speaker Placement

JBL’s SVA Series takes advan-

tage of our latest technology

to deliver incredibly clean,

detailed sound. Incorporating

JBL’s Symmetrical Vertical

Array™ and exclusive

Bi-Radial® horn, these loud-

speakers deliver sound that is

distributed over a wide sound-

stage with pinpoint imaging.

Because the horn should be

directed at ear level in order

to maximize the imaging

characteristics, JBL developed

an exclusive cast-aluminum

adjustable spike foot that can

be adjusted while the speaker

is in position. The Bi-Radial

horn design – which greatly

reduces room reverberation –

along with video-shielding,

allows greater placement flex-

ibility within the room. Ultra-

wide frequency response and

high power handling combine

to give you clear, powerful

sound that you get only

from genuine JBL. The SVA

loudspeakers are perfect

for today’s Dolby* Digital

recordings.

The SVA Center is designed

to complement any of the

SVA Series loudspeakers.

It is the perfect addition for

re-creating the cinematic

experience in your home.

Introduction

Proper placement of the

speakers is an important step

in obtaining the most realistic

soundstage possible. These

recommendations are for the

optimum placement of the

loudspeakers. Use these

placement recommendations

as a guide. Slight variations

will not diminish your

listening pleasure.

Preparing the Speaker Cable

1. Determine the length of

wire necessary to connect

your amplifier to the speaker

that is farthest away.

Remember to allow for extra

cable to be able to conceal it

under baseboards, or run it

around corners.

2. Keep both cable lengths

the same in order to help

maintain proper signal

balance and imaging.

3. Separate about one inch of

the two conductors that make

up each cable. Then strip off

about 3/8" of insulation.

4. Twist each conductor’s thin

wires into a tightly bunched

spiral.

5. Identify a difference

between the two conductors.

This may be done in various

ways, depending upon the

type and brand of cable you

are using.

•Different color wire

•A strand of thread in one

conductor

•A colored line on one con-

ductor’s outer insulation

•Raised ribs on one conduc-

tor’s outer insulation

•A printed (+) marking on

one of the insulators

Some of the More Common Differentiating Marks for Conductors Are:

The terminals on the SVA Series

loudspeakers can accept several

types of speaker cable connections.

Remember to connect the red (+)

terminal on the receiver/amplifier

to the red (+) terminal on the

speaker and the black (–) terminal

on the receiver/amplifier to the

black (–) terminal on the speaker.

The SVA2100, SVA1800 and

SVA1600 outer connection

panel and internal dividing

network are designed so

that separate sets of speaker

cable can be attached to the

low-frequency transducer and

midrange/high-frequency

transducer portions of the

dividing network. This is

called bi-wiring. Bi-wiring

provides several sonic

advantages and considerably

more flexibility in power

amplifier selection.

If there is no sound from

any of the speakers, check

the following:

• Receiver/amplifier is on and

a source is playing.

• Review proper operation of

your receiver/amplifier.

If there is no sound coming

from one speaker, check the

following:

• Check the “Balance” control

on your receiver/amplifier.

• Check all wires and con-

nections between receiver/

amplifier and speakers.

• Make sure all wires are con-

nected. Make sure none of the

speaker wires are frayed, cut,

or punctured.

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.

If there is low bass output,

check the following:

• Make sure the polarity

(+ and –) of the left and

right “Speaker Inputs” are

connected properly.

If you are not bi-wiring your

system, and there is no out-

put from either the low- or

high-frequency drivers,

check the following:

• Make sure the shorting

straps are properly attached

to the terminals.

• Check all connections

between processor/amplifier

and each of the speakers.

If you are bi-wiring your

system, and there is no out-

put from either the low- or

high-frequency drivers,

check the following:

• Make sure the amplifier is

hooked up to both the low

and high terminals on each

speaker.

• Check all connections

between processor/amplifier

and each of the speakers.
