Thank you for having the manual I needed for an older model Aiwa stero I had found on Ebay --- I wanted the Aiwa because I had tapes and cd's but I did not have a manual as to how to operate the system... I found what I needed and it has enabled me to set the system up for my enjoyment.
I wished detailed information of the JBL S310 and here I found it! Very happy with the service from this site!

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Front Speakers Center-Channel Speaker Subwoofer
0-2 ft.
Surround Speakers
5 � 6 ft.
The 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. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the mainprogram 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, bass reproduction will be maximized when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening position and moving around the room until the bass reproduction is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.
