JBL Synthesis Owner's Manual - 1.0

This Section focuses on the basic operations required to

power up the system, to use it, to make simple everyday

adjustments to both its Cinema and Music functions,

and to turn it off. More advanced adjustments are

covered in Section 2: Advanced Operations. Your

certified JBL Installer will be glad to overview these

materials with you.

1.1 Powering Up

The system can easily and quickly be turned on using

the Remote Controller, pictured on this page. Simply

push the button marked POWER and the Surround

Processor, Amplifiers, Equalizers, Crossovers, and

Speakers will all automatically power up, in sequence. 

Next, turn on the Source Devices you want to use —

VCR, Laser Disc player, CD, Television/Video, Audio

Cassette Player. 

You can turn these on in any order. 

1.2 Basic Remote Control

Operations

Your JBL Synthesis Remote Control unit handles

virtually all of the functions of the system. Basic

Operations include Selecting Source Devices, and

Adjusting the Master Volume.

1.2.1 Selecting Source Devices

Examine the lower half of the Remote Controller until

you have found six buttons with labels above each.

These buttons allow you to directly access a particular

source device and play it through the system. The

buttons are labeled “S-VID-1”, “S-VID-2, "VCR",

“VDP”, “CD", and “AUX”. Your Installer, with your

consultation, has determined the sources available for

use in your system. Therefore certain buttons may be

inoperative, corresponding to the sources not present.

To select a source device, simply press the

corresponding button. The surround processor will

engage that source.
