Basic Operation JBL Synthesis 2-8REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEWThe 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.OPERATION CONSIDERATIONSThe bulleted items that begin below describe factors that can improve or impede remote control operation. It is recommended to observe these items as well as the battery installation instructions on page 1-5 before operating the remote control. Please note the following before operating the SDP-5 remote control: •The remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front panel IR receiver (2-3). Eliminate obstructions between the remote control and the IR receiver. The remote control might become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining 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-5. If the SDP-5 is placed inside a glass cabinet, smoked glass will reduce the remote control range. •Remote controllers for different components can interfere with one another. It is recommended to avoid using remote controls for different components at the same time. •The remote control batteries should be replaced as needed. Refer to page 1-5 for battery installation instructions. MAIN MENUThe MAIN MENU shown at the right represents the beginning of the menu structure.
