JBL BAR 300MK2 User Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Line Voltage: The JBL BAR 300MK2 is designed for 100-240 volt AC, 50/60 Hz. Connecting to a voltage different from that for which the product is intended may pose a safety hazard and fire risk, as well as damage the unit. If you have doubts about the voltage requirements of the specific model or the line voltage in your area, contact your retailer or customer service before connecting the unit to a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords: To avoid safety risks, use only the power cord supplied with the unit. We recommend not using extension cords with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under carpets or carpeting, and do not place heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords must be immediately replaced by an authorized service center with cords that meet factory specifications.

Handle AC Power Cord Carefully: When disconnecting the AC power cord from the AC outlet, always grip the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use this speaker for a period of time, unplug the plug from the AC outlet.

Do Not Open the Cabinet: This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Opening the speaker can create risks of electric shock, and any modification to the product will void the warranty. If liquid accidentally falls inside the appliance, immediately unplug it from the AC power source and consult an authorized service center.

5. CONNECTIONS

5.1 Connecting to TV and Digital Devices

For audio playback via the soundbar, connect it to the TV using the supplied HDMI cable or an optical cable (sold separately). An HDMI connection supports digital audio and video with a single cable. An HDMI connection is the best option for connecting the soundbar.

NOTES: When both HDMI and optical cables are connected to the soundbar for TV audio input, the HDMI connection has priority. Full compatibility with all HDMI-CEC devices is not guaranteed. * The HDMI cable (for connecting digital devices) and the optical cable are sold separately.

5.1.1 TV (HDMI eARC)

(Recommended connection for the best Dolby Atmos experience)

NOTES: To play audio from the digital device connected to the TV, select the TV source (see "7.2 Playback from TV Source"). With Virtual Dolby Atmos, the soundbar's Dolby surround upmixer allows you to expand the traditional multi-channel audio of the Dolby Digital format, including 5.1 and 7.1 content, and offers an immersive 3D Atmos experience.

(Diagram of HDMI eARC connection)

1. Connect the soundbar via the HDMI IN (eARC) connector on the TV using the supplied HDMI cable.

• On the TV, verify that HDMI-CEC and HDMI eARC have been enabled. Refer to your TV's user manual for further information.

2. Use an HDMI cable (V2.0 or later) to connect the TV to the digital device, such as a streaming device, set-top box, DVD/Blu-ray player, or console.

• On the digital device, verify that HDMI-CEC has been enabled. Refer to the digital device's user manual for further information.
• On the TV and digital device, select "Bitstream" or "Raw data" in the audio output settings to achieve the best Dolby Atmos experience.

5.1.2 TV (HDMI ARC)

(Diagram of HDMI ARC connection)

1. Connect the soundbar via the HDMI IN (ARC) connector on the TV using the supplied HDMI cable.

• On the TV, verify that HDMI-CEC and HDMI ARC have been enabled. Refer to your TV's user manual for further information.

2. Use an HDMI cable (V2.0 or later) to connect the soundbar to the digital device, such as a set-top box, DVD/Blu-ray player, or console.

• On the digital device, select "Bitstream" or "Raw data" in the audio output settings to achieve the best Dolby Atmos experience.

NOTES: To play audio from the digital device connected to the soundbar, select the HDMI IN source (see "7.3 Playback from HDMI IN Source"). If your TV does not support HDMI eARC, be sure to connect the digital device via the HDMI / HDMI IN connector on the soundbar instead of the TV. Otherwise, Dolby Atmos information cannot pass through the HDMI (ARC) connectors to the soundbar.

5.1.3 OPTICAL

(Diagram of Optical connection)

1. Connect the soundbar to the TV using an optical cable.

10. TROUBLESHOOTING

Never attempt to repair the product yourself. If you encounter problems using this product, check the following points before requesting assistance.

System

• The unit does not power on: Check if the power cord is connected to the power outlet and the soundbar.
• The soundbar does not respond to button presses: Restore the soundbar to factory settings (See "8.2 Factory Reset").

Sound

• No sound from the soundbar: Ensure the soundbar is not muted. Select the correct audio input source on the remote control. Connect the soundbar correctly to the TV or other devices. Restore the soundbar to factory settings (See "8.2 Factory Reset").
• Distorted sound or echo: If playing audio from the TV through the soundbar, ensure the TV is muted or its built-in speaker is deactivated.
• Audio and video are not synchronized: Activate the audio sync function to synchronize audio and video (See "8.1 Audio Settings (Audio Sync)").
• No Dolby Atmos height effects: If the TV only supports HDMI ARC, ensure you have connected the digital device to the soundbar via the HDMI / HDMI IN connector on the soundbar (See "5.1.2 TV (HDMI ARC)"). Enjoy Dolby Atmos sound effects when playing movies from the TV / HDMI source. Dolby Atmos is not supported for audio streaming via Bluetooth or casting applications (compatible with Google Cast or AirPlay).

Bluetooth

• Cannot connect a device to the soundbar: Check if the Bluetooth function has been activated on the device. If the soundbar has been paired with another Bluetooth device, reset Bluetooth (See "5.2.3 Connecting Another Bluetooth Device"). If the Bluetooth device was previously paired with the soundbar, reset Bluetooth on the soundbar, unpair the soundbar on the Bluetooth device, and then re-pair the Bluetooth device with the soundbar (See "5.2.3 Connecting Another Bluetooth Device").
• Poor audio quality from a connected Bluetooth device: Bluetooth reception is poor. Move the source device closer to the soundbar or remove any obstacles between the source device and the soundbar.
• Connected Bluetooth device connects and disconnects continuously: Bluetooth reception is poor. Move the source device closer to the soundbar or remove any obstacles between the source device and the soundbar.

Wi-Fi

• Cannot connect to Wi-Fi: Ensure Wi-Fi is on. Ensure you have selected the correct network and entered the correct password. Ensure the router or modem is on and within range. In router settings, ensure you have set the security type to WPA2 or auto. Ensure the soundbar is connected to the same wireless LAN as your smartphone or tablet. In case of difficulty configuring Wi-Fi, re-enter Wi-Fi configuration mode by pressing and holding and + on the soundbar until the message "SETUP WIFI" is displayed.

Playback

• AirPlay cannot detect the soundbar as an AirPlay speaker for music streaming: On your Apple device, update the software to the latest version: iOS 13.4 and later, macOS 10.15.4 and later, or tvOS 14.3. Ensure your Apple device is connected to the same network as the soundbar. For a PC with iTunes for Windows, you can stream music from your PC to the soundbar via Bluetooth.
• Music playback does not work correctly when the audio source switches from Bluetooth to Google Cast or AirPlay: The quality of audio transmission and playback depends on the traffic and network coverage connecting the soundbar and transmission devices, such as phones, tablets, and PCs.
• Music playback does not resume when the audio source switches from Bluetooth to TV / HDMI IN, and then back to Bluetooth: Music playback on the Bluetooth device interrupts when the audio source switches from Bluetooth to TV / HDMI IN. When returning to the Bluetooth source, restart music playback on the Bluetooth device.

Remote Control

• The remote control does not function: Check if the batteries are depleted. If so, replace them with new ones. Reduce the distance and angle between the remote control and the main unit.
• Cannot complete TV remote control programming: Check if you are using an infrared TV remote. IR programming of a remote control is not supported by a Bluetooth TV remote control.
