Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall.2. Hold the bracket against the wall as a template and mark the locations ofthe wall-mount bracket holes on the wall. The three holes should be evenlyspaced 7-1/16" (18cm) apart, and the bracket slots are designed to accept4mm screws. make sure that the holes are at the same height. See theillustration above. mark three bracket hole locations: 7-1/16" (18cm) apart.3. making sure that the bracket’s flat side is against the wall, attach thewall-mount bracket to the wall at the locations you marked, usinghardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials. notethat the soundbar weighs 7.3 lb (3.3kg). Be sure to use hardware that cansupport this weight.4. after reading the Connections section on page 6, connect all cables to thesoundbar.• Set the soundbar’s EQ switch in the “Wall” position, and set thesoundbar’s Power switch in the “On” position. See SoundbarRear-Panel Controls and Connections, on page 6.5. attach the soundbar to the bracket by sliding the bracket’s upper tabs intothe slots on the back of the soundbar. The soundbar’s slots allow you toadjust the soundbar’s angle on the wall to ensure that it is level. insert tabson bracket into grooves in soundbar.Subwoofer placementThe performance of a subwoofer is directly related to its placement in thelistening room and its physical position relative to the other speakers inthe system. While it is true that, in general, our ears do not hear directionalsounds at the low frequencies where subwoofers operate, remember that– when installing a subwoofer within the limited confines of a room – thereflections, standing waves and absorptions generated within the room willstrongly influence the subwoofer system’s overall performance. as a result,the specific location of the subwoofer in the room becomes important to theamount and quality of bass that is produced.IMPorTANT: Make sure that the subwoofer’s rearpanel is at least 150 mm or 6" away from the wall to allowfor proper operation.you may place wireless subwoofer in the positions as represented in theabove figure.• Placing it in a corner that is position (1) will maximize the amount of bassin the room. However, corner placement can also increase the destructiveeffect of the standing waves on bass performance. This effect can varydepending on the listening position – some listening positions may yieldvery good results while others may have too much (or too little) bass atcertain frequencies.• Placing the subwoofer along the same plane as the soundbase – position(2) – can produce the best integration between the sound of the subwooferand the soundbase. in some rooms, the best performance can be resultedby placing the subwoofer behind the listening position (3).you can experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing thesubwoofer in the listening position and playing music with strong basscontent. move it to various locations in the room while the system is playinguntil you determine where the location of the best bass performance occurs.Place the subwoofer in that location.oPErATIoNTurning the JBL CINEMA SB350 oN andoffManually: First, make certain that the rear panel power switch isturned On.
