SPEAKER PLACEMENT  
NOTE: The satellite speakers can be placed directly on a shelf, or  
mounted on a wall using the included wall brackets.  
Left and Right Front Channels  
For left and right front channels, place one satellite to the left and another  
to the right of the television, as shown in Figures 1A and 1B. Since the  
speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place them very close to the  
TV without worrying about the magnetic field distorting the picture.  
Center Channel  
For the center channel, place the speaker directly on top of, or below,  
your television. Use the included brackets for wall mounting.  
Surround Channels  
For left and right surround channels, place one speaker on the left and  
another on the right, to the side of or slightly behind the listening area.  
The surround speakers should be mounted at a height of between 4 feet  
and 7 feet.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS  
TURN OFF ALL POWER.  
Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (–)  
terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on  
the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the  
amplifier. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a  
poor stereo image. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is  
usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +). Also, consult the ownerʼs  
manuals that were included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm  
connection procedures.  
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 ambience and directionality of  
the program material.

WALL MOUNTING  
The Cat. No. AESS5 satellite speaker is to be wall-mounted with the  
adjustable wall-mounting brackets included, or placed on a shelf.  
This product is not intended for ceiling mounting. Note that is the  
responsibility of the end user for proper selection and use of mounting  
hardware, available through hardware stores, to properly and safely wall-  
mount the speakers. Optional, adjustable, wall-mounting brackets are  
available from JBL.  
Contact your dealer, or call 800-336-4JBL for a dealer near you, and  
order model no. WBN26WHT.

1. Loosen and remove the molded nut (2) by turning it counter clock-  
wise. Use the supplied metal bar (5) if necessary by inserting it in one  
of the holes on the molded nut (2).

2. Pull the ball/shaft (3) out of the wall bracket (4).  
3. Slide on the molded nut (2) onto the ball/shaft (3) with threaded  
opening facing the ball, and thread on the metal nut (1) all the way  
onto the ball/shaft (3), with the nut (1)ʼs “knurled” surface facing away  
from the ball.  
4. Screw on the ball/shaft (3) into the threaded insert on the back of the  
speaker cabinet until it is fully seated against the bottom of the insert.  
5. Tighten the “knurled” nut (1) using a crescent wrench until it is firmly  
seated against the back of the speaker and has fully locked the  
ball/shaft (3) and the speaker cabinet together. Please note that once  
this nut is tightened, it may embed some marks on the back of the  
speaker where the attachment is made. However, these marks will be  
covered by the nut (1).  
6. Mount the wall bracket (4) onto a wood stud on the wall, using #10,  
minimum 1 inch long, wood screws (6, not included). If necessary,  
use a stud finder to locate the studs behind the drywall. Make sure  
that all 4 screws are driven into the stud and not in drywall. If the  
bracket needs to be mounted on drywall, the use of properly selected  
and installed wall-anchors and screws is essential.  
7. Holding the speaker cabinet with both hands, reinsert the ball portion  
of the ball/shaft (3) into the wall bracket (4).  
8. Hand tighten the molded nut (2) while positioning the speaker for the  
intended orientation.  
9. Once the orientation of the speaker is finalized, use the metal bar (5)  
in one of the holes on the molded nut (2) and tighten securely.

OPERATION  
Surround Modes:  
When using the system in a Dolby* Digital or DTS® home theater system,  
ensure that all Cat. No. AESS5 speakers are set to “Small”.  
When using the Cat. No. AESS5 in a Dolby Pro Logic* home theater  
system, ensure that the receiver's center channel mode is set to  
“Normal”.  
Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer different setup  
options for each source or surround mode, e.g., Cd-Stereo, Videotape,  
Dolby, Pro Logic. In each case, follow your equipment's instructions to  
ensure that the subwoofer output is turned ON and the speakers are set  
to “Small” in each mode.  
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE  
The satellite enclosure may be cleaned using a soft cloth to remove  
fingerprints or to wipe off dust.  
All wiring connections should be inspected and cleaned or remade  
periodically. The frequency of maintenance depends on the metals  
involved in the connections, atmospheric conditions, and other factors,  
but once per year is the minimum.  
If a problem occurs, make sure that all connections are properly made  
and clean. If a problem exists in one loudspeaker, reverse the connection  
wires to the left and right system. If the problem remains in the same  
speaker, then the fault is with the loudspeaker. If the problem appears in  
the opposite speaker, the cause is in another component or cable.  
Refer to the Troubleshooting section for additional information.

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 connections between receiver/amplifier and  
speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the  
speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching each other.  
• 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 connections between receiver/amplifier and  
speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the  
speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching each other.  
IF THERE IS LOW (OR NO) BASS OUTPUT:  
• Make sure the connections to the left and right “Speaker Inputs” have  
the correct polarity (+ 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 subwoofer, make sure the  
subwoofer 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 configured as “LARGE.” See your receiver/  
processorʼs ownerʼs manual for further information on correct speaker  
configuration 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 connections between receiver/amplifier and  
speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the  
speaker wires are frayed, cut , punctured or touching each other.  
• If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the  
minimum-impedance requirements of your receiver/amplifier.
