4 Important Safety Information Verify Line Voltage Before Use Your JBL Cinema ProPack 600IIhome theater system has has been designed for use with 120-volt AC current. Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the system. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the components into a wall outlet. Do Not Use Extension Cords To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord attached to your components. We do not recommend that extension cords be used with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized service depot with a cord meeting factory specifications. Handle the AC Power Cord Gently When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug – never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the system for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plugs from the AC outlet. Do Not Open the Cabinet of Any Components There are no user-serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinets may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls inside, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and consult an authorized service station. CATV or Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be certain that it is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements of the grounding electrode. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable TV) system installer’s attention to article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible. Installation Location ■To ensure proper operation, particularly of the precision laser transport mechanism and carousel tray in the DVD600 II, and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the components on a firm and level surface. When placing the components on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hard- ware can support the weight of the product. ■Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below each component for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make cer- tain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet. Under some circum- stances, a fan may be required. ■Make certain that there is enough room in front of the DVD600 IIfor the disc tray to open fully, and that there is enough space above the unit so that discs may easily be inserted. ■Do not place the components directly on a carpeted surface. ■Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment. ■Avoid moist or humid locations. ■Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of any component, or place objects directly over them. ■Do not place the DVD600IIin a location that is subject to direct sunlight or extreme heat or cold, as these conditions may damage the discs used in the player, or the player itself. ■If you will be stacking the DCR600IIand DVD600 II, place the DVD600IIDVD changer on top of the DCR600 IIreceiver, as the receiver is too heavy to be placed on top of the DVD changer. Cleaning When the system gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use ben- zene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the fin- ish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near the components. Moving the Components Before moving the components, be certain to disconnect any interconnection cords with other components, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

9 Where to Place the Speakers Mounting Options Satellites and Surrounds On shelves. Wall-Mounting Attach plate to wall. The brackets should be placed, if possible, so that the screws will fasten into a wooden wall stud. If that is not possible, use properly selected wall anchors. The customer is responsible for proper selection and use of mounting hardware, available through hardware stores, to prop- erly and safely wall-mount the speakers. On the wall. Wall brackets are included. Slide speaker onto support. On optional stands (FS300). Place speaker and sup- port on wall plate. Subwoofer Surround SpeakersFront SpeakersCenter Channel SpeakerThe front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listeners’ ears will be, or they may be angled toward the listeners. The center channel speaker should be placed slightly behind the front left and right speakers, and no more than two feet above or below the tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is often convenient to set the center speaker on top of the television set, as shown in the drawing. Use the supplied support leg to aim it toward the listener by screwing the leg in to angle the speaker up, or unscrewing the leg slightly to angle the speaker down. 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’ ears. If that is not possible, they may be placed on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves. Exper- iment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main- program material heard in the front speakers.The low-frequency material reproduced by the subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this speaker may be placed in a convenient location in the room. However, the best reproduction of bass will be heard when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwooferin the listening position and moving around the room until the bass reproduction is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.
10 Connecting the Speakers Making the Audio Connections Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire as shown. Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (–) terminals. Most manufacturers of speakers and electronics, including JBL, use red to denote the (+) terminal and black for the (–) terminal. The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted with a ridge or stripe. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the receiver and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the receiver. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. With the advent of multichannel surround sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important in order to preserve the proper ambi- ence and directionality of the program material. To use the binding-post speaker terminals on the rear panel of the DCR600 IIreceiver, and on the subwoofer, unscrew the colored collar until the pass-through hole in the center post is visible under the collar. Insert the bare end of the wire through this hole; then screw the collar down until the connection is tight. The hole in the center of each collar is intended for use with banana-type connectors. To connect the supplied speaker wires to the satellite and center speaker terminals, press the red or black plastic tab for the desired terminal, insert the bare end of the wire into the hole and release the tab. Gently tug on the wire to make sure that it is fully inserted.The wires for the three front speakers should all be of the same length even if the speakers will be placed at varying distances from the DCR600 II. The same applies to the two rear speakers. To make sure that you use the correct wires for each speaker, we have color-coded them, as shown in the diagram:Front Left: White Wire Center: Green Wire Front Right: Red Wire Surround Right: Gray Wire Surround Left: Blue Wire Subwoofer: Brown Wire If you will be stacking the DCR600IIand DVD600 II, place the DVD600IIDVD changer on top of the DCR600 IIreceiver, as the receiver is too heavy to be placed on top of the DVD changer.1. Assemble the supplied AM Loop Antenna as shown above. Connect it to the AMand GND Terminals con the back of the DCR600II. 2.Connect the supplied 75-ohm FMantenna to the FM Terminaldon the back of the DCR600 II.Note that if you use an optional exter- nal FM antenna with 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you must use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adaptor (not supplied) to make the connection. 3.Connect one end of the supplied single-lead coaxial digital cable with orange connectors to the COAX 1(upper) Digital Input™on thereceiver, and connect the other end to the Coaxial Digital Outputon the DVD changer. 4.In order to obtain the best possible sound reproduction when watching your television, con- nect the left and right analog audio outputs of your TV to the TV Audio Inputs·on the DCR600 IIusing the red (right) and white (left) leads of the supplied triple-lead RCA cable.
