JBL SDR-35 Quick Start Manual page 33

Small: Adjusts the upmixer for a small-sized room.
Medium: (default) Adjusts the upmixer for a medium-
sized room
Large: Adjusts the upmixer for a large-sized room.
Movie: Adjusts the upmixer for film material.
Speech: Adjusts the upmixer to focus on speech
intelligibility.
Auro-matic 3D Strength – Adjusts the ratio of unprocessed-
to-processed signal when using the Auro-Matic 3D upmixer.
Audio Source – Selects the particular connection type
for each input. The default is HDMI for inputs with an
HDMI connection and Digital for inputs without an HDMI
connection. This setting must be changed if another
connection is used.
Select from the list the audio type you are using on this
source.
HDMI: the unit is forced to use the HDMI audio input for
this source.
Digital: the unit is forced to use the optical (
TOSLINK
coaxial ( ) digital audio input for this source
S/PDIF
Analogue: the unit is forced to use the analog audio input
for this source.
CD Direct – Turns off the compressed audio detection mute
delay and should only be used for sources that will only
transmit PCM audio (e.g. a CD player).
General Setup
General information and system controls.
Source Input – (Information only) The currently selected
input to which the settings below relate.
Incoming Format – (Information only) The format of the
digital audio stream connected to this input, if present.
Incoming Sample Rate – (Information only) The sample rate
of the digital audio stream connected to this input, if present.
Incoming Bit Rate – (Information only) The bit ra te of the
digital audio stream connected to this input, if present.
Dialnorm – (Information only) If a Dolby Digital audio stream
is connected to this input, this is the Dialog Normalization
setting requested by the stream.
Incoming Resolution – (Information only) Shows the
incoming video resolution.
Audio Compression – Allows selection of compression which
is desired for late night listening. The compression effect
increases the volume of the quiet passages and decreases
the volume of the louder passages. Compression only applies
to Dolby/DTS soundtrack formats that support this function.
Off: (default) no audio compression is applied.
Medium: compression is applied so that loud portions
of a soundtrack are reduced in level. Any Dolby True
HD stream is compressed automatically as set by the
incoming stream.
High: the maximum amount of dynamic range compression
is applied, so that the difference between loud and quiet
portions of a soundtrack is minimized.
This setting applies to all inputs when a relevant digital audio
stream is detected. It is stored in memory and recalled each
time the unit is powered up.
Balance – To alter the sound balance temporarily between
) or
front left and right speakers. You can alter the sound stage
to either the left or the right by up to 6dB. Note that it is
not possible to shift the audio signal completely over to
one channel. This function resets to equal left/right balance
when the input is changed.
Dolby Center Spread – Allows adjustment of the sound field
for Dolby Surround mode decoding of two-channel sources.
With Dolby Surround decoding, dominant center signals
come only from the center speaker. If no center speaker is
present, the decoder splits the center signal equally to the
left and right speakers to create a 'phantom' center image.
The Center Spread control allows variable adjustment of
the center image so it may be heard only from the center
speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom
image, or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.
DTS Dialog Control – Sets the level of the dialog channel in
compatible DTS audio streams.
Maximum Volume – Limits the maximum volume setting
the system can be turned up to in the main zone. This is
a useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low
power-handling speakers (for example). It is stored in
memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.
Max On Volume – Limits the maximum volume the system
operates in the main zone when it is switched on or comes
out of Standby. The system comes on at this stored volume
setting if the last used (possibly very loud) volume exceeds
this value. It is stored in memory and recalled each time the
unit is powered up.
Display on time – Sets the time that the front panel display
remains illuminated after receiving a command. The default
is always on.
Control – Enables or disables RS232 or IP (NET) control, a
system that allows control from various third-party home
automation systems. Note, only RS232 or IP control can be
used, not both.
Power on – Determines how the unit powers on.
Stby: in Standby mode
On: On
Last state: Last state (default).
Language – Select the language for the setup menu -
English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Chinese.

Here you set the type of speakers that you have connected
to your Receiver:
Large: capable of full frequency range reproduction
Small: not capable of full frequency range reproduction at
the low frequency end
None: speaker not present in your configuration
EN-32
NOTE: It is not possible to set all speakers to Small unless
there is a subwoofer in your speaker configuration. If you
do not have a subwoofer, you will be forced to set your
front speakers to Large.
Subwoofer – configures if the dedicated Sub Out connectors,
"Sub1" and "Sub2" are used for a single subwoofer channel.
(Either connector may be used.) For systems with two or
more subwoofers, use channels 13, 14, 15 & 16 for up to four
independent subwoofers, which can fully utilize Dirac Live
Bass Management.
Channel 13 & 14 –
Channel 15 & 16 –
Configures the speaker positions that channels 13, 14, 15 & 16
are used for.
Height Type – configures the type of height speakers -
ceiling mounted or Dolby enabled.
Use Channels 6+7 for – If your main zone speaker set up
does not include Surround Back Left and Right speakers, you
can choose to use the Surround Back amplifier channels as
the Height 1 amplifiers, to Bi-Amp the Front Left and Right
pair, or as a stereo power amplifier for Zone 2.
Filter Slope – Configures the filter slope used for bass
managment - 12dB, 24dB, 36dB, 48dB/octave.
Sub Gain – configures the output level trim for all outputs
configured as subwoofers in -6dB steps from 0dB to -30dB.
Speaker Distances
Calibration settings for the distances between the
loudspeakers and the listening position.
NOTE: Speakers that are not present in your configuration
will be greyed out.
If Dirac Live is used, these settings will be shown in time (mS)
and not distance.
These settings are applied to all audio inputs and are stored
in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.
Units – Select whether you wish to measure distances in
imperial or metric units.
