Basic Operation SDP-40 UNDERSTANDING THE ZONES • The SDP-40 features three zones: the Main Zone, Zone 2, and the Record Zone. The Main Zone is designed to control audio and video signals in the primary listening space, Zone 2 is designed to control audio signals in the secondary listening space, and the Record Zone is designed to control audio and video signals for recording devices. The Record Zone can also function as a third zone, controlling audio and video signals in a third listening space.

PAGE 95
The MODE ADJUST Menu SDP-40 BASS ENHANCE (ON, OFF) BASS ENHANCE creates stereo bass, which results in low-frequency reproduction that is less localizable and more realistic in the listening space. When set to ON, the unit processes the low frequencies sent to the FRONT L/R, SIDE L/R, and REAR L/R outputs to create stereo low frequencies. This also includes the SUBWOOFER L/R outputs when the SUB L/R parameter on the CUSTOM SETUP menu is set to STEREO.
PAGE 96
The MODE ADJUST Menu CTR WIDTH JBL (MIN, 1 to 6, MAX) ES DECODE (DISCRETE, MATRIX, OFF) CTR WIDTH (Center Width) adjusts the center image. When set to MIN, the center image is heard from only the center speaker. When set to MAX, the center image is heard from only the front left and right speakers as a “phantom” center image. When set on the 1 to 6 scale, the center image is heard in various combinations of all three front speakers. ES DECODE indicates the presence or absence of dts-ES decoding.
PAGE 97
The MODE ADJUST Menu SDP-40 LFE MIX (-20.0 or -10.0 to +0.0dB) RE-EQUALIZER (ON, OFF) LFE MIX adjusts the level of the LFE channel (the .1 channel in a 5.1 or 6.1-channel source) that is sent to the SUBWOOFER L/R outputs. Low frequencies from as many as five other channels may be combined with the LFE channel to create the SUBWOOFER L/R output signal, significantly raising subwoofer output levels.
PAGE 98
The MODE ADJUST Menu SOUND STAGE JBL (FRONT, NEUTRAL, REAR) SOUND STAGE dynamically adjusts the relative balance of the outputs when no surround signals are present. When set to FRONT, the SIDE L/R and REAR L/R outputs are attenuated, shifting the perceived balance of the sound field to the front of the listening space. When set to NEUTRAL, the SIDE L/R and REAR L/R outputs are attenuated slightly, shifting the perceived balance of the sound field to the center of the listening space.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance TROUBLESHOOTING Note: • The SDP-40 does not support MPEG input types. • Some DVD players will produce audio artifacts when switching audio formats. THE UNIT DOES NOT POWER ON. 1. Attempt to power the unit on with both (standby) buttons, the one on the front panel, and the one on the remote control. JBL THE UNIT IS ON, BUT THERE IS NO AUDIO. 1. Make sure the full mute setting is not activated.
PAGE 101
Troubleshooting and Maintenance SDP-40 A HUMMING SOUND IS PRESENT IN THE AUDIO. IF ALL ELSE FAILS . . . 1. Disconnect the cable television connector (if present) from the wall outlet. If this eliminates the humming sound, an isolation device is required. Contact the cable provider for assistance. 1. Power the rear panel power switch off. Wait 10 seconds. Power the rear panel power switch on. (See pages 2-4 and 2-7 for rear panel illustrations.) 2. Disconnect source components to isolate the problem.
