Getting Started ABOUT THE SDP-40 Thank you for purchasing the SDP-40 Digital Controller, a referencequality, 12-channel audio and video control center with independent zone monitoring to provide control of input source selection in three zones at the same time. As flexible as it is powerful, the SDP-40 includes 12 configurable inputs, each of which can be assigned to its 13 digital audio, 8 analog audio, 5 composite video, 8 S-video, or 4 component video input connectors.
PAGE 14
Getting Started SDP-40 Complementing its pristine audio performance, the SDP-40 includes two broadcast-quality video switchers. An ultra-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) and Standard-Definition TV signals. Both switchers are designed to pass video signals without alteration or degradation.
PAGE 15
Getting Started JBL DO NOT INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS The SDP-40 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. DO • • Install the SDP-40 on a solid, flat, level surface such as a table , shelf, or in a standard 19-inch equipment rack using the enclosed rack-mount kit. Select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
PAGE 16
Getting Started SDP-40 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-40. When this occurs, follow the instructions below to replace the batteries. Normal operation will resume when new batteries are installed.
