angled toward the listeners.

The SATPair135 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 connect the pair of  
speakers to the unused pair  
of speaker terminals on your  
receiver, following the  
directions in the Speaker  
Connections section on  
page 5. If you plan on playing

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’

behind the listening position,  
facing forward. The surround

Separate and strip the  
ends of the speaker wire  
as shown. Speakers and  
electronics terminals have  
corresponding (+) and ()  
terminals. Most manu-  
facturers of speakers and  
electronics, including JBL,  
use red to denote the (+)  
terminal and black for the  
() terminal. To use the  
spring-type terminals, simply  
press the colored terminal,  
insert the bare end of the  
wire into the hole, and  
release. The clip inside the  
terminal grips the wire. Tug  
the wire gently to make sure  
that it has been inserted  
properly.

With the advent of  
multichannel surround-

all of the speakers in your  
system with the correct  
polarity remains equally  
important in order to  
preserve the proper  
ambience and directionality  
of the program material.
