Why is there no sound coming from my JBL SDR-35 Recording Equipment?
If no sound is being produced, ensure that the correct input has been selected and the ‘audio source’ has been set correctly in the ‘input config.’ menu. Check that the source equipment is on, is operating normally, and is in ‘play’ mode if appropriate. Also, verify that the volume is turned up to a reasonable level and the receiver is not in mute mode.
What to do if sound only comes from some of the speakers of my JBL SDR-35?
If sound only comes from some of the speakers, ensure that you have an appropriate surround source selected and playing. Check that the BD/DVD disc is encoded in the appropriate format, and the correct format has been selected in the disc start menu of the BD player (if applicable). Verify that the BD/DVD player has been set to output ‘bitstream’ audio on the digital output. Ensure the display window indicates that the disc you are playing is a multichannel recording. Confirm that all the speakers are correctly connected to the speaker terminals and are secure. Ensure that you have not selected ‘stereo’ as the decoding mode, your speaker balance is correct, and you have configured the receiver to include all the speakers in your system.

Also, verify that you have selected the correct size of speakers to suit your system in the setup menu.

Why can't I select Dolby or DTS decoding modes on my JBL SDR-35?

Ensure that the source is playing appropriately encoded material, that the BD/DVD disc is encoded in the appropriate format, and that the correct format has been selected in the disc start menu of the BD player (if applicable). Also, verify that the BD/DVD player has been set to output ‘bitstream’ audio on the digital output.
How to fix bright edges or ghosts on the picture of my JBL SDR-35?

Why does my JBL SDR-35 AV selects Dolby Surround when playing a Dolby BD/DVD?
