JBL SYNTHESIS SDA8300 / SDA4600 QUICKSTART
Amplifier Configuration
Each amplifier can be configured for different operational modes by using the included jumper plugs and the GPIO port on the rear
panel. The plugs are labeled "Configuration 2" and "Configuration 3". Do not connect anything else into the GPIO port.
Configuration 1 would be typical of an standard 7.1 system and combination of Configuration 2 + Configuration 3 would be
typical of an expanded 9.4 or active bi-amplified system.
Speaker Connection
Each output of the SDA amplifiers is assigned a specific speaker channel. This is based on the Configuration and the setup of the
SDEC4500P for the correct speakers. Use the chart and pictures on the next pages to connect the speakers correctly. Use Category 2
speaker cable.
Never connect the output to a power supply, battery or power main. Electrical shock may result.
