User manual JBL ONST400ID

[. . . ] Be advised that different operating voltages may require the use of a different line cord and/or attachment plug. Do not install the unit in an unventilated rack, or directly above heat producing equipment such as power amplifiers. Observe the maximum ambient operating temperature listed in the product specification. Slots and opening on the case are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation and prevent it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. [. . . ] When the SDP-3 receives a signal which is not PCM encoded, it will mute and display "NO PCM AUDIO. " In the previous example, if PCM ONLY had been selected, rather than AUTOMATIC, the SDP-3 would have muted and displayed "NO PCM AUDIO" when the AC-3 movie and the DTS music disc were being played. AC-3 Only NOTE: As AC-3 is a digital format, you must have a digital input selected for AUDIO IN in the INPUT CONFIG menu. When AC-3 ONLY is selected as the FX FORMAT, only AC-3 effects can be used on that input. Any other type of signal received on that input will cause the SDP-3 to mute and display "NO AC-3 AUDIO. " The FX and buttons will select only AC-3 effects. This is recommended for any input which will be used only for AC-3 playback. In our example, selecting AC-3 as the FX Format setting, would have caused the SDP-3 to mute and display "NO AC-3 AUDIO" when the Dolby Surround movie and the DTS music disc were played. When the laser disc was paused, the SDP-3 would have muted rather than automatically selecting the PCM effect Logic 7. DTS Only When DTS ONLY is selected as the FX FORMAT, only DTS effects can be used on that input. Any other type of signal received on that input will cause the SDP-3 to mute and display "NO DTS AUDIO. " The FX and buttons will select only DTS effects. In our example, selecting DTS as the FX Format setting, would have caused the SDP-3 to mute and display "NO DTS AUDIO" when the Dolby Surround and AC-3 movies were played. When the DTS music disc was advanced, the SDP-3 would have muted briefly rather than automatically selecting the PCM effect Logic 7. There would not have been any brief bursts of noise before playback began. NOTE: As DTS is a digital format, you must have a digital input selected for AUDIO IN in the INPUT CONFIG menu. 19 System Configuration Audio In JBL Synthesis This option in the INPUT CONFIG menu determines which audio input connector on the SDP-3 rear panel will be used for the MAIN zone. Using the digital inputs will usually yield better performance, and these should be used whenever a source component has a digital audio output. Note, however, that this setup automatically loads the appropriate 2-Channel effect in the main zone. NOTE: Removing the block from any input which has both an input and output attached to the SDP-3 may cause damaging feedback. BLOCKED simply blocks the input from being sent to the Record and Zone 2 outputs. This prevents feedback from occurring with devices that have both an input and output attached to the SDP-3 (Tape deck, VCR, etc. ). Record/Zone 2 Controls Record/Zone 2 functions can be accessed from the SDP-3 front panel or the remote control. In either case, press and hold Record/Zone 2 while pressing one of the following buttons. ON Turns on the Zone 2 outputs, lights the red Record/Zone 2 front panel 21 System Configuration JBL Synthesis LED and redirects the current main zone input to the Record/Zone 2 outputs. OFF Turns off the Zone 2 outputs, and the associated front panel LEDs. OSD (ON) Displays a STATUS menu for the current input. Press Done to exit. VOL and Displays, then adjusts the current Zone 2 volume level. Activated displays (FP or OSD) will show level and a bar gauge. When Zone 2 mute is engaged, these controls adjust volume without disengaging Zone 2 mute. Mute Engages Zone 2 mute and reduces the Zone 2 volume level to -80dB. Pressing again restores Zone 2 volume to its previous level. SELECT and DONE (remote control only) Displays, then adjusts Zone 2 left/right balance. Activated displays (FP or OSD) will show bar gauge and level in dB. VCR, DVD, V Disc, TV, AUX, CD, Tuner, and Tape Selects the Record/Zone 2 input and lights the corresponding front panel input LED (unless the input is blocked). Dolby, THX, Logic 7, and DTS (remote control only) These controls set the Zone 2 volume level to the following levels. Dolby -30dB THX -20dB Logic 7 -10dB DTS +00dB 2 CH, Party, TV M, and Music (remote control only) These controls set the master volume level to the following levels. When Zone 2 mute is engaged, these controls set the Zone 2 volume level without disengaging mute. 2CH -30dB Party -20dB TV M -10dB Music +00dB 22 SDP-3 Digital Surround Processor/Controller System Configuration Speaker Configuration The Speaker Configuration menu allows a wide range of choices in speaker type and room setups to provide optimal performance in almost any room. [. . . ] Turn the master power switch on the SDP-3 rear panel OFF, wait 10 seconds, then turn it ON again. This causes the unit to run a diagnostic self-test routine, which takes a couple of seconds. If the SDP-3 LCD displays normally at the end of this test, no problems have been found with the SDP-3 circuitry. If the internal tests fail, the LCD may display an error message, or no message at all. [. . . ]
