NEW CONSTRUCTION

PAINTING THE SPEAKER

FRAME AND GRILLE

JBL HTI Series loudspeakers

can be painted to match any

decor. If you wish to change

their color, the satin finish on

the grille and frame will func-

tion as a primer coat. Before

painting, install the paint shield

(in the assembly kit) securely

into the recess in the baffle.

This will protect the speaker

components and baffle from

paint residue.

Use a high-quality spray paint,

and apply a thin coat of color.

Be certain the grille per-

forations remain free of paint.

Filling them with paint will

diminish the sound quality.

Note: Gently remove the

acoustical foam blanket from

the grille before painting. Reat-

tach the blanket after the paint

has dried.

You will need to purchase the correct rough-in frame kit for your model:

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF THERE IS NO SOUND

FROM ANY OF THE

SPEAKERS:

• Check that receiver/amplifier

is on and a source is playing.

• Check all wires and connec-

tions between receiver/ampli-

fier and speakers. Make sure

all wires are connected. Make

sure none of the speaker wires

are frayed, cut or punctured.

• Review proper operation of

your receiver/amplifier.

IF THERE IS NO SOUND

COMING FROM ONE

SPEAKER:

• Check the “Balance” control

on your receiver/amplifier.

• Check all wires and connec-

tions between receiver/ampli-

fier and speakers. Make sure

all wires are connected. Make

sure none of the speaker wires

are frayed, cut or punctured.

In multichannel applications,

make sure that your receiver or

processor has been configured

to enable all channels that you

are using.

IF THERE IS LOW (OR

NO) BASS OUTPUT:

• Make sure the connections

to the left and right “Speaker

Inputs” have the correct polar-

ity (+ and –).

• Consider adding a powered

subwoofer to your system.

• In Dolby Digital or DTS modes,

make sure your

receiver/processor is correctly

configured. When using a sub-

woofer, make sure the sub-

woofer output of the receiver/

processor has been enabled. If

no subwoofer is being used,

make sure the left and right

front and rear speakers have

been config-ured as “LARGE.”

See your receiver/processor’s

owner’s manual for futher infor-

mation on correct speaker con-

figuration in Dolby Digital, DTS

and other surround-sound

modes.

IF THE SYSTEM PLAYS

AT LOW VOLUMES BUT

SHUTS OFF AS VOLUME

IS INCREASED:

• Check all wires and connec-

tions between receiver/ampli-

fier 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-impedance

requirements of your receiver/

amplifier.
