decoding, which derives 7.1-channel output from stereo, 5.1-, and
6.1-channel sources. Unlike other decoders, Logic 7 is compatible
with all input sources and requires no special encoding. Because
the improvement it provides is clearly audible, Logic 7 decoding is
widely regarded as the finest available.
ABOUT THE SDP-40HD
Thank you for purchasing the SDP-40HD Digital Controller, a
reference-quality, 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-40HD includes 12 inputs, each of which can be
configured and assigned to any of its 6 HDMI™ (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface™), 13 digital audio, 8 analog audio,
2 composite video, 3 S-video, or 4 component video input
connectors. The analog audio input connectors can be configured
for stereo or 5.1-channel sources.
In addition to Logic 7, the SDP-40HD is also equipped with Dolby®
Digital Surround EX™, Dolby Pro Logic®, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby
Pro Logic IIx, DTS 96/24™, DTS NEO:6®, DTS-ES®, THX Ultra2™,
and THX Surround EX™ decoding. THX Ultra2 certification
guarantees that the SDP-40HD meets the highest THX performance
specifications.
With four 32-bit floating-point SHARC™ digital signal processing
(DSP) engines, the SDP-40HD offers unparalleled processing power.
These DSP engines perform custom processing such as Logic 7
decoding, bass enhancement, dialog enhancement, auto azimuth,
5-speaker enhancement, bass management, high-precision digital
crossovers, and tone controls. This processing is available at sample
rates up to 96kHz, with 24-bit resolution to retain top performance
from all input sources and listening modes. A fifth DSP engine is
dedicated to decoding multi-channel compressed audio sources.
The SDP-40HD features an HDMI interface that enables the
transmission of uncompressed digital audio and video signals
through a single connector. The SDP-40HD can pass digital video
signals of up to 720p/1080i, and multiple digital audio channels
(5.1 channels) at sample rates of up to 96kHz through the HDMI
interface. The SDP-40HD also supports the High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection (HDCP) technology that comprises data
encryption and authentication of the partner equipment.
Beyond the HDMI connectors and standard 5.1-channel audio output
connectors, the rear panel includes stereo rear and stereo subwoofer
connectors to provide even more audio channels. All Main Zone audio
output connectors include 24-bit/96kHz D/A converters operating in
dual differential mode. In addition, the SDP-40HD includes balanced
audio output connectors for all Main Zone and Zone 2 channels.
High-precision 96kHz/24-bit A/D converters can be used to convert
stereo and 5.1 analog audio input signals to digital signals,
allowing the SDP-40HD to provide the benefits of precise digital
signal processing without sacrificing signal integrity.
Digital audio input signals are processed through a two-stage
phase lock loop for extremely low intrinsic jitter and high jitter
rejection. Auto azimuth technology corrects timing and level
imbalances in stereo sources, ensuring exceptionally accurate
playback of surround encoded sources. A digital audio pass-
through option is available for recording digital signals with a CD
recorder or a similar component.
Two RS-232 connectors are provided for serial control. One of the
connectors is for performing flash-memory software upgrades and
backing up or restoring configuration files. The other connector is
reserved for possible upgrades.
More than just an audio and video control center, the SDP-40HD
features the latest version of Harman’s critically acclaimed Logic 7®

SDP-40HD
Getting Started
To complement its audio performance, the SDP-40HD features two
broadcast-quality video switchers. An ultra-wide bandwidth
component video switcher accepts analog component or RGB video
signals, & can pass analog high-definition (HD), enhanced-definition
(ED), and standard-definition (SD) TV signals. A composite and
S-video switcher accepts NTSC, PAL or SECAM video signals. Both
switchers are designed to pass video signals without alteration or
degradation. In addition, the SDP-40HD can convert composite and
S-video input signals to analog component video.
Some DVD players and enhanced-definition (ED) digital TV
broadcasts have a 480p resolution. For digital video input sources
using an HDMI interface, the SDP-40HD delivers these resolutions
through the HDMI switcher.
Resolution is defined by the number of horizontal lines displayed
on-screen that comprise each frame of a video image. The more
lines of resolution used to create each frame of video, the greater
the detail and sharpness of the image. For example, the resolution
known as 720p refers to 720 horizontal lines of progressive video.
The resolution known as 1080i refers to 1,080 lines of interlaced
video.
High-definition digital TV (HDTV) broadcasts require equipment
that can process and display digital video signals at a resolution of
either 720p or 1080i. For sources with HDMI digital video outputs,
the SDP-40HD delivers these resolutions through the HDMI output
to compatible display devices.
An unparalleled processor, the SDP-40HD conveys the best in music
and cinema with awesome power and leading-edge technological
sophistication. Even the most demanding enthusiasts will be
impressed with its exceptional performance. The SDP-40HD is a
must-have addition for any high-quality home theater.
Analog 720p or 1080i video signals can pass through the
broadcast-quality component video switcher. In comparison, most
standard-definition (SDTV) broadcasts have a resolution of 480i.

OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following factors can improve or impede remote control
operation.
Note the following before operating the SDP-40HD remote con-
trol:
•
•
The remote control must be in line of sight with the front-
panel IR receiver. Eliminate obstructions between the remote
control and the IR receiver. The remote control may become
unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light shines on the IR
receiver.
For optimal performance, position the remote control at a 30
degree angle no more than 17 feet (5m) from the SDP-40HD.
Placing the SDP-40HD inside a smoked glass cabinet will
reduce the remote control range.
•
•
Remote controls for different components can interfere with
one another. Avoid using remote controls for different compo-
nents at the same time.
Remote control batteries should be replaced as needed.

Basic Operation
JBL
The MAIN MENUꢂSETUPꢂDISPLAYSꢂON-SCREEN DISPLAY
menu REMOTE STATE parameter controls the remote control
command bank indicator that appears on the on-screen display.
When the REMOTE STATE parameter is set to ON, a command
bank indicator appears in the top-right corner of the on-screen
display to indicate the last command bank from which the
SDP-40HD received a command. A “Z” appears to indicate Zone 2.
An “R” appears to indicate the Record Zone. An “S” appears to
indicate the Shift command bank. No letter appears when the Main
Zone command bank is active. When the REMOTE STATE
parameter is set to OFF, no command bank indicator appears on
the on-screen display.
COMMAND BANK ACTIVATION
Remote control buttons perform different commands depending on
whether the Main Zone, Zone 2, Record Zone, or Shift command
bank is activated. Pressing and releasing a remote control command
bank selection button – MAIN, ZONE, REC, or SHIFT – activates the
corresponding command bank. The selected command bank
remains active until another command bank is activated.
The command bank selection buttons themselves do not send
commands to the SDP-40HD. When pressed and released, these
buttons activate the corresponding command bank. For example,
pressing and releasing the SHIFT button activates the Shift
command bank. When the Shift command bank is activated,
pressing and releasing the DVD-1 button turns off the Main Zone.
See Command Matrix, page 2-11.
Note:
Remote control command bank selection buttons should not be pressed
and held.
To activate a command bank:
1. Press and release a command bank selection button to activate
the desired command bank.
The command matrix that begins on the next page indicates
which commands the remote control buttons perform when
each command bank is activated.
2. Press a remote control button to send a command to the
SDP-40HD.

menu ZONE2 IN or RECORD IN parameter is set to
DMIX.
ABOUT THE ZONES
The SDP-40HD features three zones of operation: the Main Zone,
Zone 2, and the Record Zone. The Main Zone controls audio and
video sources in the primary listening space. Zone 2 controls
audio sources in the secondary listening space. The Record Zone
controls audio and video sources sent to recording devices or to a
third listening space.
3. When the MAIN MENUꢂSETUPꢂINPUTSꢂINPUT SETUP
menu ZONE2 IN or RECORD IN parameter is set to ANLG, the
Zone 2 or Record Zone audio output connectors are not avail-
able during 5.1mc BYPASS listening mode. However, it is possi-
ble to have a 5.1-channel analog audio source present in the
Main Zone and a digital audio source present in Zone 2 or the
Record Zone.
These zones have separate digital audio receivers and dedicated
analog source selectors that allow for independent input
selection in each zone. The SDP-40HD can process input sources
in three zones at the same time. For example, the SDP-40HD can
play a DVD in the Main Zone, while playing a CD in Zone 2,
while sending satellite receiver signals to a VCR in the Record
Zone.
4. When an HDMI source is selected for digital audio input, the
down-mixed audio is available on the digital audio output in
the Record Zone. When the source on the HDMI connector is
copy-protected DVD-Audio, no digital audio is output, but
analog audio is still output.
The following are exceptions to independent zone operation:
1. When a Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) source is present in the
Main Zone, the same Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) source can
also be present in Zone 2 or the Record Zone. However, a dif-
ferent Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) source cannot be present in
Zone 2 or the Record Zone.
2. Main Zone multi-channel audio can be down-mixed in Zone 2
or the Record Zone when all of the following conditions are
met:
•
A Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) source is present in the Main
Zone.
•
The Main Zone input is also selected in Zone 2 or the
Record Zone. For example, if the DVD1 input is selected
in the Main Zone, the DVD1 input must also be selected
in Zone 2 or the Record Zone.

The SDP-40HD has 12 inputs, to which any (depending on compatibility) of its 6 HDMI, 13 digital audio, 8 analog audio, 2 composite video,
3 S-video, or 4 component video input connectors can be assigned. The table below indicates the INPUT SETUP menu parameters that can be
used to assign audio and video input connectors. The ANLG IN LVL parameter can be used to adjust 2-channel and 5.1 analog audio input levels
for the selected input.
When HDMI IN is set to HDMI 1 to 6, and DIGITAL IN is set to HDMI

Note:
The digital audio input connectors (including HDMI) are compatible
with PCM (44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96kHz), Dolby Digital and DTS(-ES)
sources. These connectors are not compatible with MPEG, MP3 or MP4.
Copyright protection system
The SDP-40HD supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection). HDCP is a copy protection technology that comprises
data encryption and authentication of associated equipment
connected through HDMI. All equipment connected to the
SDP-40HD through HDMI must support HDCP if the

Provides automatic adjustment of the 2-channel (and 5.1-channel
when the MAIN ADVANCEDꢂANALOG BYPASS parameter is set to
OFF) analog audio input levels. When set to ON, the input levels are
automatically monitored and optimized. When the input signal is
too high, the input levels are quickly decreased to avoid overload.
When the input signal is too low, the input levels are slowly
increased to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range.

When a preferred listening mode is selected, that listening mode is
automatically activated whenever a new input is selected or an
appropriate input source is present. For example, the following can
occur when a preferred listening mode is activated (also refer to the
corresponding menus on page 3-13):
the SDP-40HD is configured for seven main output channels and
source material with specific encoding is played. All Dynamic
Listening Modes are available through the remote control or front
panel Mode button. The dynamic listening modes are listed in the
table below.
If the DVD1 input is selected and a 2-channel source is played, the
L7 FILM listening mode is activated. If a Dolby Digital source is
played, the 5.1 L7 FILM listening mode is activated. If a DTS(-ES)
source is played, the DTS(-ES) L7 FILM listening mode is activated.
Modes That Do Not Appear in the Input Setup Menu
The SDP-40HD features the ability to assign preferred listening modes
for each input and incoming audio format. However, not all listening
modes will appear in the Input Setup Menu. Listening modes that do

Set the ZONE2 IN and RECORD IN parameters to DMIX when
using a playback device (DVD player) that does not have built-in
Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) decoding, and the recording device is a
VCR or Personal Video Recorder (PVR).

DIG OUT RATE
Controls the sample rate of digital and analog input signals sent to
the Record Zone digital audio output connectors. When INPUT is
selected, the sample rate of input signals is not converted.
Therefore, the original sample rate is maintained from the input
connectors through to the Record Zone digital audio output
connectors.
When a value is selected, the input signals pass through the
selected value of sample rate conversion, then pass to the Record
Zone digital audio output connectors. Set the DIG OUT RATE
parameter to the appropriate value when using a recording format
that operates on a single sample rate, such as CD-R format
(44.1kHz).

Selecting the SPEAKER SETUP menu CUSTOM SETUP option opens
the CUSTOM SETUP menu, which assigns independent crossover
points for each Main Zone audio output connector. Crossover
points can be selected in 10Hz increments within a 30 to 120Hz
range. The graphs shown on the next page indicate the frequency
response of each crossover point.
•
Select the subwoofer crossover point equal to the lowest
crossover point of any of the other speakers. For example, if
CUSTOM SETUP menu parameters are set as shown above, set
the SUB XOVER parameter to 80Hz – the lowest crossover point
of the other speakers.
In a custom setup, low frequencies are generally redirected from
speakers with the highest crossover points to speakers with the
lowest crossover points. Signals lower than the lowest crossover
point are redirected to the subwoofer. If the lowest crossover point
is FULL, low frequency signals, excluding LFE information, are not
redirected to the subwoofer.
To configure a custom speaker setup:
•
Select the crossover point closest to the low frequency rating of
the associated speakers. For example, set the FRONT L/R
parameter to the crossover point closest to the low frequency
rating of the front speakers.
Low frequencies between the Subwoofer L/R and any or all of the
other speaker channels can be duplicated. To do this, select the
FULL + SUB crossover setting for the front, center, side or rear
speakers. Making this selection can result in excessive bass.

CALIBRATING SPEAKER DISTANCES & OUTPUT LEVELS
The SDP-40HD offers calibration of speaker distances and output levels. Calibration helps to ensure accurate output signal arrival time and level
at the primary listening position. However, it is not a substitute for proper speaker placement.
Before calibrating speaker distances and output levels:
SPEAKER CALIBRATION PARAMETERS
The table on the next page indicates the speaker calibration
parameters that can be used to set speaker distances and output
levels for the speakers connected to the corresponding Main Zone
audio output connectors. These parameters are available on the
speaker distance and output level menus shown throughout this
section.
•
Set crossover points for the Main Zone audio output
connectors. Setting crossover points afterwards could
invalidate calibrated output levels (the CUSTOM or THX SETUP
menu can be used to set crossover points).
•
•
Eliminate extraneous noise in the listening space, including
conversation, air conditioners, and sounds that filter in through
open doors and windows.
SPEAKER DISTANCE PARAMETERS +0.0 to 30.0ft or 12.0m
Move or remove people or objects blocking the path between the
microphones or SPL meter and the speakers.
Reflect the distance between the primary listening position and the
speaker connected to the corresponding Main Zone audio output

•
You should use a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter to manually
calibrate output levels. An SPL meter is a device that measures
the relative loudness of the speakers to ensure accurate output
level calibration. SPL meters are available at Radio Shack.
•
Output levels for speakers that are not included in the speaker
setup cannot be adjusted during the internal noise test. These
output levels can be adjusted during the external noise test,
but there is no need to do so.
Output levels should be calibrated from the primary listening

menu shown on the previous page. When the SPEAKER LEVEL
ADJUST menu opens, the internal noise test automatically
begins.
Note:
•
Press the ꢃ button to stop the internal noise test.
During the internal noise test, it is possible to select an output level
parameter just as the cursor is about to automatically scroll to the
next parameter, causing the SDP-40HD to send the calibration
noise signal to both speakers. If this occurs, reselect the desired
speaker.
During the internal noise test, the SDP-40HD sends calibration
noise signals to each speaker in the order shown on the SPEAKER
LEVEL ADJUST menu. The cursor automatically scrolls through
output level parameters, highlighting each parameter as the
SDP-40HD sends the calibration noise signal to the corresponding
speaker. The calibration noise signal is sent to each speaker for
about 4 seconds.
3. When the horizontal bar graph opens, press the ꢀ or ꢁ
button to select the output level that achieves a 75dB SPL
meter reading from the primary listening position.
Note:
4. Press ꢃ to close the parameter. The internal noise test will
continue and automatic scrolling will resume.
When the internal noise test begins, the SDP-40HD automatically sets
the volume level to +0dB. Avoid adjusting the master volume level
while the test is in progress to achieve THX reference levels (75dB).
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until all desired output levels have
been set.

Surround encoded sources, and uses a mono surround channel
with a high frequency rolloff above 7kHz.
This mode is designed for playback of matrix encoded digital stereo
film sources. DTS NEO:6 derives six channels when both side and rear
speakers are present (rear channels will be in parallel). It derives five
channels when only side or rear speakers are present.
This mode is useful for comparison purposes, particularly with the

The Left illustration shows the left of center position. The Right

2. Make sure the distances between the speakers and the primary
listening position are properly measured. To do this, perform
the following procedure:
4. Set the SOURCE parameter to RIGHT.
5. Begin playback of the external calibration source.
Measure the distance between the primary listening position
and the front baffle of each speaker. Then, set the
corresponding SPEAKER DISTANCES menu parameters to the
closest available value.
6. When playback of the external calibration source is in progress,
set the SPEAKER ANGLE parameter so the sound is not heard in
the right ear.
7. To confirm the LISTENER POS and SPEAKER ANGLE parameter
settings, set the SOURCE parameter to LEFT & RIGHT. If the
PANORAMA listening mode is properly calibrated, the sound
should be perceived to come from all around the primary

These modes are designed for 7-channel playback of 5.1-channel
Dolby Digital film sources. They apply THX re-equalization to
simulate high frequency rolloffs that occur in movie theaters. Most
films are mixed for movie theaters, and might sound too bright
when played back in home theaters without re-equalization. THX
timbre matching is applied to minimize timbre differences between
the front and surround channels, which results in smoother sound
movements between them. These modes are recommended for
home theaters with THX certified speakers.

This mode allows 5.1-channel sources to use bass management,
speaker crossovers, speaker distance calibration, and audio controls
(tone controls). When these features are not used, the 5.1mc
STANDARD listening mode is similar to the 5.1a BYPASS listening
mode. The 5.1mc STANDARD mode sends identical signals (with
appropriate time delays) to the Main Zone audio output connectors
labeled Side L and Rear L, as well as Side R and Rear R.
The 5.1mc THX MUSIC listening mode is designed for playback of
5.1-channel music sources. It cannot be activated unless side and
rear speakers are present. This mode performs best in home
theaters where the rear speakers are placed close together.

5 SPKR ENHANCE
ON, OFF
Simulates 7-channel playback in 5-channel speaker configurations.
When set to ON, the SDP-40HD provides an increased sense of
spaciousness and envelopment through the surround speakers. This
enhancement is most noticeable when the surround speakers are
positioned to the sides of the primary listening position, or when the
primary listening position is located against the rear wall. The effec-
tiveness of this parameter varies within the listening space. For best
results, place the surround speakers to the left and right of the primary
listening position. Available in all Logic 7 modes.
BASS ENHANCE
ON, OFF
Enhances stereo bass, which results in low frequency reproduction
that is less localized and more realistic in the listening space. The
effectiveness of the BASS ENHANCE parameter varies depending on
room acoustics and the ability of the surround speakers to

Troubleshooting & Maintenance
JBL
2. Make sure all associated power amplifiers are powered on.
TROUBLESHOOTING
3. Make sure the SDP-40HD is receiving an audio signal. To do
this, follow the instructions that begin on page 1-21 to open
the STATUS menu for the current input source.
The SDP-40HD does not power on.
4. Make sure the audio is not muted. The message “MUTE ON” or
“FULL MUTE ON” appears in the on-screen and front panel
displays when the audio is muted. To deactivate mute, press the
Mute button or adjust the volume level.
1. Make sure the rear panel power switch is set to the I (“on”)
position.
2. Attempt to power on the SDP-40HD with the front panel
Standby button and remote control On button.
5. Check the INPUT SETUP menu HDMI IN, DIGITAL IN, and
ANALOG IN parameters to ensure the appropriate audio
connector is assigned to the selected input.
3. Examine the power cord to ensure a good connection between
the rear panel AC input connector and the wall outlet.
4. Check the electrical circuit and breaker.
The relationship between the HDMI inputs and analog and
digital outputs depends on the settings of the DIGITAL IN
parameter and the HDMI IN parameter. Refer to the table on
page 3-7 for assigning HDMI audio.
The remote control does not work.
•
When HDMI IN is set to NONE and DIGITAL IN is set to
HDMI AUDIO, then the COAX-1 connector is automatically
assigned to DIGITAL IN. This is in place of any previously
assigned HDMI connector. Neither audio nor video will be
available on the HDMI output.
1. Eliminate obstructions between the remote control and the
front panel IR receiver. When the SDP-40HD is not using the
rear panel IR IN connector, the remote control must be in line
of sight with the front panel IR receiver for proper operation.
The remote control might also become unreliable if strong
sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the IR receiver.
•
When HDMI IN is set to one of the HDMI connectors and
DIGITAL IN is set to a parameter other than HDMI AUDIO,
then both HDMI audio and video are active on the HDMI
output connector.
2. Make sure the remote control batteries are correctly inserted
with the proper polarity.
3. Replace the remote control batteries. When the batteries are
low on power, the remote control enters a low-voltage
condition that prevents it from operating the SDP-40HD.
6. The associated source device may not incorporate HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) encryption.
HDCP is a copy protection technology incorporating an
encryption and authentication scheme to protect certain digital
audio and video content from being copied as it travels across
DVI or HDMI connections. Since the SDP-40HD supports HDCP,
associated equipment connected via HDMI or DVI (Digital
Visual Interface) must also support HDCP. Check your
manufacturer user guide to confirm HDCP compatibility.
The SDP-40HD is powered on, but there is no audio.
1. Examine the audio cables to ensure a good connection
between the source and the SDP-40HD, and the SDP-40HD
and all associated power amplifiers.

SDP-40HD
Troubleshooting & Maintenance
7. Make sure volume level is audible. Volume level can be
increased with the front panel volume knob or the remote
control VOL + and – buttons.
2. Check the INPUT SETUP menu HDMI IN, VIDEO IN and
COMPONENT IN parameters to ensure the appropriate video
connector is assigned to the selected input.
3. The currently selected source, or the high-definition display
device may incorporate HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection) encryption. HDCP is a copy protection
technology inccorporating an encryption and authentication
scheme to protect certain digital audio and video content from
being copied as it travels across DVI or HDMI connections.
No audio when using a HDMI to DVI cable or adaptor between
the SDP-40HD and the display.
Because DVI does not carry an audio signal, no audio will be heard.
Use the SDP-40HD analog or digital output connectors for audio.
•
If your display device is not compatible with HDCP, use an
analog video connection from the source device, through
the SDP-40HD, to the display. Analog video connectors are
not copy protected. (The resolution through these
connectors may not be the same as it would through the
HDMI connector.)
Dialog sounds muffled.
If the speaker setup does not include a center speaker, make sure a
custom – as opposed to a THX – speaker setup is selected. Then,
make sure the CUSTOM SETUP menu CENTER parameter is set to
NONE.
•
If using a video switcher or scaler, be sure it is HDCP
compliant.
A humming sound is present in the audio.
The picture on the display screen includes video artifacts and
looks incorrect.
1. If a cable TV connection is present, disconnect the cable from
the wall outlet. If this eliminates the humming sound, a ground
loop isolation device is required. Contact your dealer or the
cable provider for assistance.
The loaded disc may include an analog video copy-prevention
signal, such as Macrovision. Check the manufacturer user guide
that came with your display device to find out whether it is
compatible with Macrovision.
2. Disconnect components one at a time to isolate the problem.
Once the problem is identified, make sure the associated
component is properly grounded and connected to the same
electrical circuit as the SDP-40HD.
RF interference is present in the audio or video.
1. Make sure the SDP-40HD is not positioned near unshielded TV
or FM antennas, cable TV decoders, and other devices that
emit radio frequencies (RF).
The SDP-40HD is powered on, but there is no video.
1. Examine the video cables – particularly the HDMI cables – to
ensure a good connection to the associated component.
2. Replace unshielded cables with shielded cables wherever
possible.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance
JBL
The SDP-40HD is exhibiting erratic behavior.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1. Set the rear panel power switch to the c (“off”) position. Wait
10 seconds. Then, set the rear panel power switch to the
I (“on”) position.
The bulleted items below describe routine maintenance that should
be performed on a periodic basis.
2. Use the SDP-40HD configuration tool to download the current
SDP-40HD configuration to a personal computer (PC) or
document all of your current settings on the installation
worksheet that begins on page A-19. Then, follow the
instructions on the next page to restore factory default settings.
•
Clean the SDP-40HD exterior surface with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Do not use alcohol, benzene, acetone-based cleaners, or strong
commercial cleaners. Do not use a cloth made with steel wool
or metal polish. If the SDP-40HD is exposed to a dusty
environment, a low-pressure blower can be used to remove
dust from its exterior surface.
•
Replace the remote control batteries as needed. The remote
control requires two AA batteries. When these batteries are low
on power, the remote control enters a low-voltage condition
that prevents it from operating the SDP-40HD. Normal
operation will resume when new batteries are installed.
If all else fails. . .
1. Contact an authorized JBL dealer.
2. Contact JBL Customer Service at 818-830-8757.
