JBL Performance Series

[JBLnsince1959]

Yeah, let's not go looking for it and posting the link when we find it either.
Not right now anyway...

Dumb question of the day.....Why??

[Zilch]

The Consumer Technical Manuals were closed to us for the last year or more. They have only recently been reopened, apparently with some effort by the forum.

If we start snoopin' and linking to stuff other than what they have authorized for use here, the lid will very likely snap shut again.

What you find outside of what is listed here, keep to private communications for now. It's not likely to be for general publication:

et. seq.

Well, good news, got a call from the trucking company and the speakers should be here sometime between 9 and 2 tomorrow. Really starting to get excited.

That's great news. Hope all goes well.

If I go here:

www.jbl.com

Then I can click a link to go here:

http://jbl.com/home/product_support/default.asp

Then I can search a product, like

PT800

and click "Submit"

Which takes me here

http://jbl.com/home/product_support/...&Submit=Submit

Which gives me a link called "FIX-IT-YOURSELF WARRANTY SERVICE
If your speaker is under warranty and you’d like to fix it yourself, click here for easy to follow fix-it-yourself instructions."

To here:

http://jbl.com/home/product_support/...rodId=PT800BLK

Then on that page one finds the instruction to click a link to go here:

http://manuals.harman.com/JBL/HOM/Do...ing%20Guid.pdf

Which of those would be okay to post and which wouldn't? They all come off the jbl.com Web site and are accessible to the public. Is it the domain (manuals.harman.com) of the last link that is causing the concern? It's still a direct link to the JBL consumer site. I thought it was a new consumer feature JBL was providing that would be of interest, but if it creates a problem...

If so, I'll be glad to go back and delete those posts (and this one).

[Zilch]

I'd say if you can access it directly via the Harman site, you can post it here.

BUT, I ain't arbiter of nothin' here.

I'm just tellin' how I understand it....

I'd say if you can access it directly via the Harman site, you can post it here.

I have been posting links to the JBL Pro Site for years. I don't see the links as an issue. All that does is make it easier for someone in this forum to find public information on their web site. Don has the the final call on it but I don't see it as a problem.

well, got the performance series today, inside and working . This was no small feat. I was waiting for them and they arrived at 9:40AM. The truck driver just drop off the pallet they were on in the drive way, so I had to get everything inside myself . Usually not a major issue, but I've pulled my right shoulder and thanks to diabeties it's been very slow to heal, somethings I just can't do. the PT800 were not much of a problem if my left arm took most the weight but the 1400's !!!! Slooooowly I "walked" them to the door, up the 3 steps, thru the house ( to grandma's house we go - oh wrong song, sorry), and down the basement stairs. Then I had to get them out of boxes without destorying the boxes.

Finally had to put them together. Only had time to run thru 2 1/2 CD's so far. (yeah, it took all day to get them ready)

Opps, time to eat, I'll write more later.

[JBLnsince1959]

Ok, first impressions..... I'm hearing things that I've never heard before....really!!! Wife said to me " Those look nice". WOW, never heard that before.

I'll let them run for a few days more.

[JBLnsince1959]

Well, I will say this. After only 1 minute I could tell that these things have absolutely NO FU*KING BASS what so ever( at least not until you TURN ON the bass amp)

[Audiobeer]

Sounds like a kid on christmas morning! Isn't it amazing as we get older how much more motivated we have to be to start moving equipment around and trying new equipment. I think you got motivated today! Push comes to shove call the doc for some vicodin but please post some pics!

That's as it should be, with a sat/sub system, be it a L212 or the PS.

[JBLnsince1959]

yes indeed and then once it was all together, I still had the boxes to "play in"

[JBLnsince1959]

yes, and I know better too. It's amazing how exacting I was to make sure all the connections, screws, switches were correct. Reread the instructions carefully (twice) to make sure I had done everything correctly, and then I pulled the biggest DUH possible

I wish someone could have been there to take a picture of my face when I first fired them up.
