INTRODUCTION
AND FEATURES
2.0
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this JBL Synthesis S5160 power amplifier! You have chosen a product that embodies the best of what JBL has discovered about the emotional power of audio reproduction in more than fifty years of preeminence in the field. This amplifier has been designed and crafted to provide the user with a high level of sonic performance; special attention has been paid to minimize the number of components in the audio signal path, resulting in extremely low distortion, excellent tran­sient response and wide dynamic range. Synthesis prod­ucts set new benchmarks in audio technology, and, when used as part of a complete JBL Synthesis system, will bring the ambience and acoustics of some of the world’s greatest concert halls and theaters into your home.
To obtain the best performance from this amplifier, please be sure to completely read this user’s manual and use the S5160 only in accordance with its instructions.
Features
The JBL Synthesis S5160 power amplifier features the following:
THX Ultra
This amplifier meets or exceeds the stringent specifications, includ­ing those for power handling, total harmonic distortion, frequency response, signal-to-noise ratio, slew rate, and crosstalk, set by the THX Ltd. Audio division in their specifications for “Ultra”-class certifi­cation. When incorporated into a complete THX hear in your home what the director and sound engineer heard in the recording studio.
Full Five-Channel Operation
The S5160 has been designed to integrate well into the world of multichannel audio. It is designed to reproduce the front left and right, center and side channels, to pro­duce a truly enveloping sound field. When coupled with a high-quality subwoofer amplifier, such as the S800, it is a solid foundation on which to build a high-performance home cinema system that will astound the listener with its power and realism. The S5160 is specially designed for use with a Synthesis One system in which the front left, right and center speakers are bi-amplified for smoother and more accurate reproduction of every nuance of a movie soundtrack or musical selection. Two S5160

system, you will
amplifiers may be used, in conjunction with two S800 subwoofer amplifiers, to power a complete 7.1-channel home theater system. Alternatively, a single S5160 may be used with one S800 subwoofer amplifier to power a
5.1-channel system.
High Power Capability
The S5160 provides a satisfying 160 watts per channel of distortion-free audio (<0.03% THD) into 8 ohms. Because of their power capabilities, all Synthesis amplifiers have an extremely wide dynamic range, an element critical to realistic home cinema. Sound levels equal to those at original per­formances are easily re-created in even the largest of home listening environments.
Auto Turn-On and Power Sequencing Circuitry
When used in a JBL Synthesis system, the S5160 can be turned on automatically whenever the surround processor is activated. No longer do you have to get out of that chair to turn on the various pieces of equipment in your enter­tainment system; just one touch on the remote control of the surround processor, and you’re a few seconds away from a truly impressive audio presentation!
Modern amplifiers produce more power per channel (and
frequently have more channels) than those of the traditional
two-channel stereo era. Due to the high current demands of power amplifiers at the instant of turn-on, the S5160, S7150 and S800 amplifiers and the SDEC digital equaliz­er are equipped with power sequencing circuits that turn on each unit in sequence, avoiding the large instantaneous current demand (and possible house circuit breaker trip­ping) that would occur should they all turn on at the same instant.

INTRODUCTION
AND FEATURES
2.0
Quiet Cooling
The S5160 utilizes a fan to cool the amplifier channels, ensuring long-term reliability. To reduce fan noise to an absolute minimum, a thermal sensing and control circuit
that senses increases
and powers a fan at a speed proportional to that tempera­ture increase the S5160 is used at lower volume levels, the fan turns very slowly – and quietly. At high listening levels (and the higher operating temperatures this creates within any amplifier), the sensing circuitry causes the fan to turn faster, producing increased cooling. As a result, the fan is never turning faster than necessary, and most of the noise that is generated is masked by the program being listened to.
Comprehensive and Isolated Circuit Protection
The S5160 amplifier employs sophisticated protection cir­cuitry (one for each channel) that senses many possible fault conditions, such as shorted loudspeaker wires or excess power demand, and turns the affected channel(s) and their blue front-panel indicators off until the fault condition is removed, at which time normal operation is automatically restored. While protection of this sort is not uncommon in today’s well-designed amplifiers, a remarkable feature of the S5160’s protection circuitry is that it is optically cou­pled to the signal circuit; there is no direct electrical con­nection between the signal path and the protection circuitry.
As a result, there can be no coloration of the music, no interaction between protection and amplification, until certain thresholds are exceeded, at which point the channel(s) turn off completely.

S5160 OPERATION AND CONTROLS
3.0
1. Power Switch
Pushing this button is all that is required to turn on the S5160 if it is not part of a Synthesis system and the
Manual On/Auto On switch Manual On position. If the amplifier is used as part of a
JBL Synthesis system, and the Manual On/Auto On switch
is in the Auto On position, the amplifier will
turn on when the surround processor is activated. In this application, the front-panel pushbutton Power switch should be left in the ON (in) position. See the description of the Manual On/Auto On switch mation on turning on the S5160.
2. Standby Indicator
This indicator, immediately above the front-panel Power switch, will glow red when the amplifier is in the “standby” mode, whether operating as part of a Synthesis system or not. When the S5160 is in the “on” mode, this light will shut off and the blue “on” mode indicators will light.
3. Power Indicators (Blue)
These indicators will light up when the power amplifier is in the “on” mode. Each monitors the operation of one channel, and will be extinguished if that channel’s protection circuitry is activated.

5. Speaker Terminals
Connect the speakers to these terminals, following the nor­mal convention: Wire the “+” side of the speaker to the red terminal, and the “–” side to the black terminal. Wire the speakers with the proper polarity; reversing any speaker’s connections will not damage either the speaker or the amplifier, but will result in poor low-frequency performance and imprecise imaging.
WARNING: Terminals marked with the flash symbol are hazardous when live. External wiring connected to those terminals requires installation by trained personnel, and the use of ready-made lead cords.
NOTE: The minimum load impedance that this amplifier can handle safely is 8 ohms per channel. Using lower impedance loads can damage the unit and will void your warranty!
Wire Run Length Rec. Ga.
Wire-Run Length Minimum Gauge
Up to 20' 16 Up to 50' 14 Up to 100' 12
6. External Fuses
AC mains fuses are located on the back panel of the amplifier. These fuses will not blow unless the amplifier is asked to produce more power than its design allows for a prolonged period or to prevent excessive current draw, which could damage internal components during a fault condition.
The amplifier has been designed to operate under virtually all conditions. Even momentary short-circuiting of the output (speaker) connections will not ordinarily damage the output circuitry (although it will activate internal protec­tion circuitry and cause one or more of the front-panel LED indicators to be extinguished until the circuit resets automatically).
Fuse Replacement
To remove the fuse, turn off the Power switch and discon­nect the power plug from the AC mains. Unscrew the fuse holder cap and remove the fuse; install the new fuse and secure the holder cap; and reconnect the AC mains. If after replacing the fuse the unit is inoperative, service is required; contact your JBL Synthesis dealer.
WARNING: Always unplug the amplifier from the AC mains before removing any fuse.
IMPORTANT: Never install a fuse that has a higher rating than that specified on the back panel of the amplifier or in the owner’s manual.

7. Manual On/Auto On Switch
Put this switch in the Auto On position if the amplifier is being used as part of a JBL Synthesis system. When used in this way, the S5160 will automatically turn on when the Power switch is depressed and the surround processor is activated. For other installations, or should individual control of each component be desired, put this switch in the Manual On position. The amplifier will then be controlled solely by the front-panel switch.
8. In/Out DIN Jacks
If you are using the amplifier as part of a JBL Synthesis system, it is necessary to use these jacks to interconnect to other system components so that control signals (Power On/Off and Music/Cinema mode switching) can be trans­mitted from one unit to the next, starting at the surround processor, through the equalizer and amplifiers, and ending at the speakers. Follow the connection diagrams on the following pages for detailed information regarding these connections. Make connections to these jacks only as shown in the diagrams. If these jacks are used in any other manner, e.g., to control electric screens, the unit can be damaged and the warranty will be void. For specific electrical information on these jacks, contact JBL Synthesis Customer Service at 516.255.4JBL.
Do not plug anything into these jacks if you are not using the S5160 with a JBL Synthesis system.
9. Speaker Mode Control Connectors
The front left and front right speakers are switched between Music and Cinema modes by signals present at both the DIN connectors (as described in Section 8) AND the two-conductor connectors shown at
The installer may find it preferable to use two-conductor wire (18-gauge recommended) rather than long multi­conductor DIN cables for the mode-switching connection between the S5160 and these two speakers. Adaptors supplied with the S5160 are used at the speaker end of the wire to allow connection to the speakers’ DIN input connectors. Proper polarity must be observed, as shown in the wiring diagrams; reverse the connections at one end of the wire if the speaker(s) do not switch modes – from horn (Cinema) to tweeter (Music).
Note that five-conductor DIN cables MUST be used between all other components to allow correct power and mode switching, and that the same warning not to plug anything into these jacks if you are not using the S5160 with a JBL Synthesis system applies here; do not attempt to use these jacks to control anything other than the mode-switching function of JBL Synthesis speakers, as this may damage the S5160 and will void the warranty.
10. AC Inlet
Your S5160 is shipped with an IEC-type removable power cord that mates with the AC inlet on the rear panel. To ensure proper operation, use the supplied power cord. This amplifier is NOT a multivoltage unit; using a power cord that is not compatible with a 120V, 60Hz AC wall receptacle will void the warranty.

Installation of the S5160 is a straightforward process.
PHYSICAL CONSIDERATIONS
5.0
IMPORTANT: following ensure adequate performance and safety, never install the amplifier with less free space around the amplifier than that specified.
IMPORTANT: using 10-32, 1"-long screws.
NOTE: Heavy equipment should not be supported solely by the front mounting locations. It is recom­mended that additional rear support be used.
1
. The S5160 power amplifier has been designed to be mounted in EIA standard racks or stacked freestanding as long as there is 4 inches (10cm) of free space around the amplifier (top, sides and rear). If the S5160 is being mounted in a rack, it is suggested that its feet be removed prior to installation. If the S5160 will be stacked with other components, use the feet that came attached to the unit. This will ensure that there is sufficient air space underneath so that heat can be dissipated effectively.
2
. Make sure that the amplifiers are located in a well­ventilated, cool area. Be certain that the front and rear panels are not obstructed, as the cooling fan brings air in from the front and expels it at the rear. It is very important not to obstruct the airflow from the center front panel; heat buildup and premature failure may occur.
The amplifier must be installed
the directions described below. To

TROUBLESHOOTING
6.0
Problem: Amplifier does not turn on. Neither the red nor blue indi­cator lights are on.
Make sure that the amplifier is plugged in, and verify that there is the proper voltage (120V) at the wall outlet.
Problem: The red indicator lights, but the blue indicators do not light up when the Power switch is depressed.
1. If the amplifier is being used in a Synthesis system, make sure
that the surround processor is turned on, the Manual On/Auto On switch is in the Auto On position, and that all of the neces­sary DIN cables are connected between the various system components. Refer to the “CONNECTING YOUR JBL SYNTHESIS SYSTEM” section for reference.
2. If the amplifier is not being used with a Synthesis system, make
sure that the Manual On/Auto On switch is in the Manual On position.
Problem: There is no sound from the speakers, but the amplifier is on (blue indicators lit).
1. Make sure that the surround processor or equalizer is on, and
that the correct source has been connected and selected.
2. Make sure that the correct outputs are connected from the
surround processor or equalizer to the amplifier.
3. Make sure that the speakers are connected to the correct
terminals. Check for short circuits at both ends of the speaker cables.
Problem: Insufficient audio from the speakers.
Check that the output levels of the surround processor or equalizer are set properly.
Problem: Insufficient bass.
Verify that the speakers have been wired to the amplifier with the correct polarity.
Problem: Front speakers do not switch from Music to Cinema mode.
1. Make sure that the screw terminal and DIN adaptor cables to
speakers are correctly wired and are connected to the correct jacks on the S5160.
2. Make sure that all required DIN cables are connected between
system components.
Problem: Audible hum from the speakers.
1. Check the power outlets and make sure that there is a solid
earth ground present. (The services of an electrician may be required.)
2. Make sure that all signal cables are routed away from power
cords.
3. If these suggestions fail, experiment by running ground wires
between the rear-panel screws of the amplifiers and the other system components, such as the surround processor or signal processing package.
Problem: Not all of the amplifiers turn on in a Synthesis system.
1. Make sure that all required DIN cables are connected between
system components. Refer to the “CONNECTING YOUR JBL SYNTHESIS SYSTEM” section.
2. Make sure that each amplifier has its Manual On/Auto On switch
in the Auto On position.
