JBL BAR 500MK2 User Manual

Welcome to the JBL BAR 500MK2 user manual. This guide provides detailed instructions for setting up, using, and troubleshooting your new soundbar system.

Important Safety Instructions

Please read these instructions carefully before using the product.

  • Power Voltage: Ensure the JBL BAR 500MK2 is used with AC voltage 100-240 volts, 50/60 Hz. Connecting to other voltages may cause safety hazards, fire, or damage the unit. Consult your retailer if unsure about voltage requirements in your area.
  • Extension Cords: Use only the supplied power cord. Avoid placing the power cord under carpets or heavy objects. Replace damaged cords immediately with factory-specified cables.
  • Handling Power Cords: Always pull the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting from the AC outlet. Unplug the unit if it will be unused for a long period.
  • Do Not Open Cabinet: The product contains no user-serviceable parts. Opening the cabinet poses an electrical shock hazard and will void your warranty. If liquid enters the unit, disconnect from AC power immediately and contact an authorized service center.
