Getting Started ABOUT THE SDP-5 Thank you for purchasing the SDP-5 Digital Controller, an 8channel audio and video control center with independent zone monitoring that provides control of audio and video source selection in two zones at the same time. The SDP-5 includes eight configurable inputs, each of which can be assigned to its eight digital audio, eight analog audio, five composite video, five S-video, or three component video input connectors. The analog connectors can be configured for up to two 5.
PAGE 13
Getting Started SDP-5 Complementing its audio performance, the SDP-5 features two broadcast-quality video switchers. A wide-bandwidth component video switcher accepts analog component or RGB video signals, while a composite and S-video switcher accepts high-quality NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video signals. The component video switcher can pass High-Definition TV (HDTV) signals, as well as StandardDefinition TV signals. Both switchers are designed to pass video signals without alteration or degradation.
PAGE 14
Getting Started JBL Synthesis INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Do Not . . . The SDP-5 requires special care during installation to ensure optimal performance. Pay particular attention to the bulleted items that begin below and to other precautions that appear throughout this user guide. • Place the SDP-5 on a thick rug or carpet or cover the SDP-5 with a cloth, as this might prevent proper cooling. • Place the SDP-5 on a windowsill or in another location in which it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
PAGE 15
SDP-5 Getting Started REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY INSTALLATION The remote control requires two AA batteries that should be replaced as needed. It is recommended to use Alkaline batteries, which last longer without leaking. When the batteries are low on power, the remote control enters a low-voltage condition that prevents it from operating the SDP-5. When this occurs, follow the instructions below to replace the batteries. Normal operation will resume when the new batteries are installed.

Basic Operation JBL Synthesis REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW MAIN MENU The SDP-5 remote control provides full operation of the SDP-5, performing commands such as menu navigation that are not available from the front panel. The command matrix that begins on page 2-13 indicates the commands remote control buttons perform when each command bank is active. The numbered items in the matrix correspond with the remote control illustrations on pages 2-13 to 2-16.
