The BD series of home theater systems offers a complete home
entertainment solution with a wealth of listening and viewing options. To get
the maximum enjoyment from your new system, we urge you to read this
manual thoroughly and refer back to it as you become more familiar with
your new system’s features and their operation.
If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation,
please contact your retailer or custom installer, or visit our Web site at www.
jbl.com.
VeRify line VolTage BefoRe using
Your BD receiver has been designed for use with 100 – 240-volt,
50Hz/60Hz AC current and includes a detachable power cable intended for
use in the region where the system is sold.
Connection to a line voltage other than that for which the unit is intended
can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit. If you have
any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model or
about the line voltage in your area, contact your dealer before plugging the
unit into a wall outlet.
unpaCking
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver during
shipment were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration.
We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in
shipping if you move or if the unit ever needs repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. You
can do it by carefully slitting the tape seams on the carton’s bottom and
collapsing it. You can store cardboard inserts in the same manner. Packing
materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in
a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that
the carton and other sections of the shipping-protection materials are
recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those materials at a
local recycling center.
Remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the
film in place will affect the performance of your remote control.

• To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards,
place the receiver on a firm and level surface. When placing the receiver
on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can
support the weight of the receiver.
• Provide proper space both above and below the receiver for ventilation.
If the receiver will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make
certain that there is sufficient air movement within the area. Under some
circumstances, a fan may be required.
• Do not place the receiver directly on a carpeted surface.
• Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations or in an area that is
• 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 fan vents on the rear panel or the ventilation slots
• Do not obstruct the fan vents on the rear panel or the ventilation slots
on the top and sides of the receiver or place objects directly over or
next
to them.
• Do not place the receiver directly on top of a product that generates
excessive heat.
• Due to the heat generated by the receiver, there is the remote possibility
that the rubber padding on the bottom of the receiver feet may leave
marks on certain wood or wood-veneer materials. Use caution when
placing the receiver on soft woods or other materials that heat or heavy
objects may damage. Some surface finishes may be particularly sensitive
to absorbing such marks, due to a variety of factors beyond HARMAN
International’s control, including the nature of the finish, cleaning materials
used, normal heat and vibration caused by the use of the receiver,
or other factors. Your warranty will not cover this type of damage to
furniture, so exercise caution in choosing an installation location for the
receiver and in performing normal maintenance practices.
• Your new JBL Blu-ray Disc receiver requires a broadband Internet
connection for streaming capability and BD-Live
™
interactivity.
Cleaning
When the receiver gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If
necessary, and only after unplugging the AC power cord, wipe it with a soft
cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water.
Wipe it dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol
cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid
spraying insecticide near the receiver.
MoVing The ReCeiVeR
Before moving the receiver, disconnect any interconnection cords to other
components, and disconnect the receiver from its AC outlet.
