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. 4 1.0 BASIC OPERATIONS
