Congratulations on purchasing your new JBL Bar 9.1. We’ll walk you through a few quick steps to help you get started. We’ll also provide a few tips and tricks most users will not know about, so with our guide, you’ll get the most out of your new Dolby Atmos soundbar system. The first step you’ll want to take is decide how you want to position your soundbar. The Bar 9.1 is designed to sit under your TV and it can also be wall-mounted. Wall-mounting brackets and instructions are included in the box. If you place the soundbar under your TV, we recommend separating the bar from the TV to give the upward-firing drivers enough clearance to direct sound up to your ceiling. There’s also rear-speakers that detach from the Bar 9.1, you can place them anywhere in your room for an immersive experience. JBL marks which rear-surround speaker is the left or right channel on the sides of each unit, so you’ll want to pay attention to that as that will affect the sound. When you detach the rear-speakers, it’s generally a good practice to place them on top of tables or even a pair of stands behind you. They’ll give you about 10 hours of wireless playtime, and when it’s time to charge, a red light will blink on top of each unit to let you know it's time to recharge.
If you’re just getting started with Dolby Atmos, usually, a quick google search is the best way to see a list of all the great Dolby Atmos content available. However, we have a fun Pro tip: you can see all the movies and TV shows encoded with this new surround format on Netflix and Amazon Prime just by typing the words “Dolby Atmos” into the platform’s search field. If you have Disney+, you'll have to search google for a comprehensive list of Dolby Atmos content, but we’re really impressed by the large collection of Dolby Atmos content available on Disney+, so be sure to check that out for the most movies encoded with Dolby Atmos.
After you plug in the power supply and make the necessary connections with your TV, the soundbar will automatically display helpful instructions right from the LED screen on the front of the bar. Next is the calibration process. Your Bar 9.1 will capture the unique properties of your room and then tune its output based on the acoustic readings it gathers - and it does all of this in just two simple steps. First, you’ll want to start the calibration process by placing the two detachable wireless rear-speakers behind you. Using the remote control that JBL includes in the box, hold down the button labeled “HDMI” for 3 seconds. The LED display on the front panel of the bar will count down the seconds for you. After this, the Bar 9.1 will output a few test tones directly from the soundbar and the rears. The internal microphones built inside the Bar 9.1 will automatically capture the acoustic properties of your living-space in less than a few minutes.
This concludes our tips and tricks for the JBL Bar 9.1. This should get you up and running so you can start enjoying all the great movies in this exciting Dolby Atmos format. If you’re looking for more audio equipment or if you have any questions that were not in our video feel free to chat with us on audioadvice.com, call us or if you’re in the area, come into any of our Raleigh or Charlotte NC locations. Until next time, we hope you enjoy your new soundbar!

Thank you. Your video was so helpful I watched three others before yours but I still could not set it up until yours! You are the best and now subscribed!
Glad it helped!
also pressing and holding "tv" button will allow you to regulate sync problems. i just found that info on a test on internet. will try it tomorrow !
Thx to your video. I decided to pick up this product. I’m enjoying it so far! I wanted to ask. Do you know if there are headphones that can connect to this sound bar? Any recommendations?
Just picked one up - Amazing!
Anyway to update or force an update of the firmware?
Why do you say that you should point the surround speakers with the connector facing away from you? The mounts for the surround to attach them to your wall put the connector to the side, so I would think that they are intended to be placed in that direction correct?
The 9.1 is an awesome soundbar. JBL produces a great product.

Love 💓. Keep up the helpful content
My living room height is 18 feet. Will jbl 9.1 suitable for this height or should i go for jbl 5.1 or bose 700
Hello Any ideas to connect Bluetooth microphone to this sound bar?
Do you have to calibrate it ?
Please can you make a comparative review of the JBL 9.1 and the Bose 700
what do ya think, I can NOT get my Bar 9,1 to go on line (three days old), I have a mesh router in the house, I also tried to use a cat-5 cable to the speaker to the mesh, nothing, I can see it on my cell (android) but when I hit it it says connected with no internet, any thoughts, phil..
Great and simple instructions very easy to follow thank you from the UK
Glad it was helpful!
hey buddy, how have i to connect it to my pc???, i use my tv and monitor, how can i get 9.1?
Hi sir do the soundbar have game EQ whatever you called? 😅
How do you keep it a private Wi-Fi. Mine isn’t password protected on my Wi-Fi list.
Thanks for the tips… just wanted to understand if I wish to permanently detach the surround speakers, would it be advisable to keep them in charge via USB at all times? Would this affect the overall battery life, performance, etc of the surround speakers considering it’ll always be on charging mode separated from the main bar?
What I do is connect both speakers to a dual USB brick that outputs at least 1A each. I believe mine is 2A each at this time. Attach the charging brick to a smart plug like wemo. Set a schedule as you please. I have it charging daily right after work for 1 or 2 hours when I will be most likely watching tv. By doing this you could just turn on your tv and your rears will auto connect without any input from you whatsoever.
I would setup the assistant with your smart plug too so that you could turn the charging on and off with your voice. I have a customized voice routine using Google or Nest products that will turn on the speakers and then it off right after if I ever want to just connect the rear speakers without the need of charging them. You could really do a lot like see a timer to always turn off your speakers after an hour of charging or so. You could even have it turn off at certain time at night so they it doesn't just charge overnight without you knowing.
Good luck!
I have mine connected to usb chargers and they have been running like this for months w ok th no issues. When the bar needs to be updated, you have to plug the speakers back into the sides of the main bar though.
Is it alright if the sub is placed behind a chair/couch in the corner of the room?
Hi just bought the JBL 9.1, was wondering if I should upgrade the HDMI or is the stock cable fine? I have the Sony x900h and ps5.
Sony St5000 or Jbl 9.1?
Hello, great video! I had one question: do the rear speakers charge while connected to the main soundbar?
Thanks, yes. We appreciate you watching
How to update the system and how to connect to internet I'm struggling 😫 😪 😩
Thanks for this great video, i have a question: if i connect my phone via Bluetooth to the sound bar (my phone is Atmos enabled), will i be able to experience Atmos music using Apple Music for an example or other apps that support Atmos?
In theory it should work, but it will be pretty compressed. You would be far better off using the apps on your TV. Thanks for watching
I felt I was in a JBL commercial at times, during this clip. Only towards the end did it give really useful information like calibration and speaker placement, and I'm grateful for that. I suggest the presenter watch this, because he was shifting his hips from side to side, as if nervous - he spoke clearly and concisely so it wasn't that. Probably just a habit he was unaware of.
Thanks for sharing! We appreciate you watching and commenting
Can you please advise, should I go for an upgraded HDMI cable for Atmos or does the stock one capable of handling that?
The stock one should be ok
I'm looking at an LG C1 77 inch and one of these but the spouse wants the TV mounted. Right now, the TV is in a corner, angled into the room, so the wall mount has to adjust to also rotate into the room while in use. Sonos (via Sanos) has a soundbar mount for a tv wall mount, but that seems to be the exception. I'm concerned "universal" soundbar TV mounts won't adjust well so that the upward firing speakers clear the TV adequately. Any recommendations on a TV wall mount for this soundbar?
Great question, some of the better TV mounts have sound bar extension mounts that allow you to adjust the distance between the bar and the TV. We feel you want at least 4" or more.
I just bought a JBL bar "9.1" sound bar system. I have a sony bravia 65x750h tv manufactured in 2016. it does not have an eARC connection. it does have a normal ARC hdmi connection. My question is will i even be able to use the dolby atmos features of the JBL bar 9 with this tv. I understand that arc can do compressed dolby atmos audio but what i dont know if my TV will send the signal or work in a way where the new soundbar actually presents a form of dolby atmos. Also if not then will this hdfury arcana you are talking about remedy the situation?
you will get compressed atmos if using netflix, disney , amazon plus etc so you should be fine - you need to enable multi channel bypass on your tv for this to work
Question? To make sure my system is okay.. when you pull off both rear speakers are they supposed to become half as loud. if i pull one off it stays loud untill i pull the second one off. can i prevent this somehow? To keep them souding as they do while connected?

Hello, I am looking to buy the JBL Bar 9.1 but I want to know if I put a Fire tv stick 4k in the 'HDMI in' of my soundbar and connect a projector through 'HDMI (eARC)' out of my soundbar to 'HDMI in (without ARC/eARC)' of my projector and use netflix on my Fire stick, will it show atmos support for supported content? Please reply. This is greatly going to influence my purchase decision.

If the JBL Bar 9.1 is not the right solution, we will gladly help you find the perfect soundbar for your setup. Thanks for watching!
Just purchased this Soundbar, my first Dolby Atmos Soundbar too. Do I need a HDMI 2.1 cable for Dolby Atmos? Or is 2.0 enough? My TV is the LG CX
I think the cx is 2.1 so use that.
Is it that good? Against sony
Does anyone know, if there's a possibility to lower or turn off the sound, when I turn it on, the beeping sound? It's too loud in my opinion.
If using Google home app, go to settings. Had the same issue.
Great review ! I have a question, the Dolby Atmos is only usable when coneected via eARC ?
If we dont have the capability of connecting with eARC can we only use WIFI ?
Atmos through eARC. Don't think you can do atmos over WiFi.
@@bizzy511 Or the ARC port too. But you are getting a lower quality (compressed) version of Atmos. Most streaming apps only support the compressed version of Atmos; you'd have to use a UHD Blu Ray player, Plex, Kodi, etc to get uncompressed (Lossless) Atmos. But you cant get ATmos using WIFI
Happy Cyber Monday, friend! The JBL Bar 9.1 supports the newer enhanced version of HDMI ARC called “eARC.” eARC’s higher bandwidth allows true Dolby Atmos to be transmitted out to compatible devices. Even if your TV doesn't feature the newer eARC connection, the Atmos speakers will still be used to great effect. Right now, for Cyber Monday, you can save & get the JBL BAR 9.1 for less.

Buena noche una consulta mi parlante lateral derecho a un principio al momento de colocarlo emitía un sonido como de ruido y no cargaba bien lo limpie y nada cuando lo conecte con cambie después estaba ya normal porque se da eso y si me pasará de nuevo que aria
Thanks for this video!
My philips TV has 4 audio output options that are: Multichannel, Dolby Digital Plus, Stereo (uncompressed) and Multichannel (Bypass).
What of those 4 settings should I choose to get most out of the JBL soundbar?
Thanks man!
Thanks for your question! Sounds like "Multichannel" might be the best option if you're wanting to experience multichannel Dolby Atmos content. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@AudioAdvice Isn't it the Multichannel (Bypass) which will bypass the original audio format like Atmos? I guess, the Multichannel option will output an LPCM signal. I also have a Philips TV with same options.
How playing films 4k with sounds DTS, DTS-X or Atmos, through this sound bar if TV don't supports this sound formats? Or TV can do this through hdmi 2.1 simple recieve to soundbar without TV decoder?
This is a great question. Everyone's setup is unique, come have a chat with one of our soundbar chat experts so that we can get the full understanding about your setup. audioadvice.io/aa-chat
How do you turn off auto wake up?
This soundbar is insane! Highly recommend. The best upgrade I have ever made. Well worth the money and more.
Is rubbish just give it a few months the base sounds is going to disappear
@@KingKong-cu3gr The bass still sounds great after two years. I use this every single day as my living room audio entertainment and every now and then movie viewing.
@@od628 is rubbish
Hi. In how many different positions can I configure my jbl 9.1? Is it just one position?
Yes, thanks for watching
Mine is not calibrating, always says failed to calibrate
Just purchased this incredible sound system. Everything works perfectly and sounds even better in person. I'm only having trouble updating the sound bar in order to use the Chromecast. Anyone else have this problem? I'm not sure if it's my wifi or if it's the Google Home App. Any solutions would be appreciated 👌
hi, i am considering buying this one. check all review and kinda doubt to hwq800t. Is it really good ? How the dolby atmos ?
I bought this bar 2 days ago and I’m having the same problem, do you have any tips that could help?
Hard wire it and it will update itself
I am considering this speaker system, but am wondering if I can place the rear speakers behind me on each side, but higher up near the ceiling without compromising the experience
Most speakers like this that fire upward into the ceiling for the Atmos effects want the ceiling to be 8-12 ft tall and have the speaker about 3' off the floor. But you should try it, but be sure to do the calibration process.
Hi when im playing shooting video games when i shoot the gun therebis delay on the sound... how can i fix this..
The jbl 9.1 is connected to arc hdmi and that hdmi format is set to bitstream... i have the option to change it to pcm... what would you recommend. And how can i fix the delay sound
You could try that or try connecting your game console directly to the soundbar. Thanks for watching
How to make the bar to not convert stereo content to dolby atmos?
Turn off Smart Mode, Smart Mode is always ON and you need to keep checking with a Mute button hold for 3 sec, Release the mute button and then vol up..
Is there an optional powercord for the rear speakers if you don´t want to charge them?
They have usb ports on them that you can connect a cable to for charging
Happy Cyber Monday, friend! Yes, you can charge the rears with a hardwired USB micro cable connected to wall outlets. Right now, for Cyber Monday, you can save & get the JBL BAR 9.1 for less.

Hi sir, I just bought my new jbl 51blkep 5.1 home theater. My detachable surround speakers turns off when I plug out of the sound bar. Please tell me what might be the reason. Will the surround speakers charges automatically when put them back to the magnetic sound bar. Red light blinks and disappear. Please reply?
They should still work if they are charged and detached. Yes, they charge when you put them back. Thanks for watching
even thought my rear speakers are non supported it still sounds good. wish jbl would update that
Hi Timothy. There usually are updates pushed through. If you purchased from us, feel free to reach out to our audio experts in chat here: www.audioadvice.com/ Thanks for watching!
Great video! Are you able to leave the rear speakers plugged in (via micro usb) while playing. In theory, you wouldn't have to dock the rear speakers to charge them
Thanks. In theory that would work but that’s a lot of cable running across the floor.
@@AudioAdvice Thanks for the response. I received my unit this morning and was able to connect both rear speakers to micro USB to continuously charge while playing. Fortunately, I could run the cables to an outlet behind my couch meaning that no cables are visible.
I had watched the whole video and still didn’t get what type of external power supper should the surrounding speakers use. What voltage in what mA?
@IronChefWong I’ve since done many research and found that the detachable speakers are best using 5V2A USB charger so the output power won’t drain faster then the input.
@@liteupcandle1 thanks for the info!
Hey ,I have a quick question... How do you actually need to place the rear speakers?
It will depend some on your room layout. Either beside or behind you. Feel free to experiment to see which gives you more surround immersion. Thanks for watching
Will Dolby Atmos only work with hdmi arc? Or can I Bluetooth my TV to soundbar and get same result?
Bluetooth will not get you Dolby Atmos. Thanks for watching
Any advice on how to "link" my tv remote volume with my SoundBar Volume. My tv will say like Volume 40 and SoundBar says 13.
They have different volume levels. So you cannot compare the tv level to the bar level.
If you can use your remote to control,the volume you are good
Connect with hdmi arc. Then turn on cec
This video is so helpful, we recently booked the JBL 9.1 (yet to be delivered) and we are planning to use brackets to mount the rear detachable speakers. The only confusion we had was regarding the sub-woofer, we stay in an apartment on the ground floor and we have floor tiles and not wood finishing floor. Do we need to use a subwoofer stand or keep maybe a memory foam pillow or a small carpet below the subwoofer or can the subwoofer just be kept directly on the floor. What do you recommend?
You should be fine directly on the tile. Glad the video was helpful
@@AudioAdvice Thank you for the quick response and your help, will try it what you suggested :)
The sub has rubber type feet, you should be fine.
@@capitalexotics Thank you!
What is the most affordable TV that is compatible with the speaker to get the Atmos effect?
Any TV with eARC will work. While not the least expensive, our focus is on recommending the best options available on the market. You can see our list of best TVs for this soundbar here: www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/sony-bravia-xr-tv-series-overview
Can I place the sound bar behind my sofa? I want to set it up with my projector
That would not be the best way to do it. Probably better to run a long HDMI cable. Thanks for watching
I just purchased it today, I can’t wait to receive my first ever jbl soundbar this week
How is it
@@padgettga sound experience is amazing!! I can say that the 3d Dolby atmos is not far from other high end sound bar plus it is simple to use and if you’re looking for a powerful sub this one is for you :)
@@jay-jaydizon743 Thank you :) I really dream of that 3D Atmos overhead travel and Punchy Rumbling Bass! I am only afraid of the Audio Drop outs and Rears functionaility
@@padgettga i never experienced any audio drop outs on two detachable speakers.. just make sure that it was charged and has enough battery when you use it wirelessly
@@jay-jaydizon743 Thank you! I just ordered the soundbar! Having my Apple TV 4K and room ready! Any suggestions? Remote control tweaks? Calibrations? Fyi I bought the micro usb cables and power adapters etc. How to experience the best overhead Atmos 3D sound? Tweaks for Bass? Dialogues?
Is there anyway of lowering the rear speakera an turning up the front i know there is a low med high but i think low is too load when there is a lot of sound like bombs etc thanks x
might have to try moving them farther away from your seat lol
Did you calibrate?
Can We connect a harddisk to the bar for watching movies ? @audio advice
The better option would be a Roku Stick and use PLEX to serve up your movies from a hard drive on your network. Thanks for watching
Got this bar its nice but after 2 weeks I cant understand when the main bar charges. When you turn off tv on standby or when its on? It would make sense when on but doesnt seem so even for rear.
It charges the end speakers when in standby mode. You have to make sure they are connected then hit the power button on the main soundbar. The display will then read “Standby” and this means they are charging. They will not charge if the soundbar is turned on, even when connected.
@@corystanley9197 that's the reason I can't get this bar as much as I would like to. You cannot use the system whenever you want and that's just silly, all they have to do is give you the option of playing while charging and it would save a lot of hassle.
First comment..!!..love audio advice🤎
Got a doubt.....Whats wrong if there r more speaker's!!
Hi, How can i setup my wifi

Have a problem trying to change battery in flicker
Or does it have battery
Hi Greg. The internal batteries in the wireless detachable rear speakers have a battery indicator light that flashes to let you know when the battery is depleted and needs recharging. They charge when they are magnetically connected to the charging ports on the sides of Bar 9.1 soundbar. There is also a power input on each rear speaker that will let you connect them to a wall outlet for power and charging as well. We may need more information about your setup at home to better understand how to troubleshoot further if this information does not resolve your issue.

Which high is the best for the rear speakers ?
😁😁
Thx
Great question, ideally they are just behind you and 36-54" off the floor. Thanks for watching
I did this calibration hoping it would fix my issue but it hasn't. I don't understand the purpose of the detachable speakers when they don't even emit that much sound. I thought they would have more of a surround sound effect when placed in the back of my room. I even placed them directly close on the left and right side of my ears and they still seem very low. It seems most of the sound is coming from the actual soundbar itself and the detachable speakers sound better connected to the bar. When i demo'd this system at best buy they had the speakers spread apart and as a whole it sounded way better in the store than in my apartment. Am i missing something here? I mean it is very loud as a whole but the detachable speakers seem pointless to be placed anywhere else but connected to the bar
Interesting. The detachable speakers will definitely not be as loud as the bar but they shouldn't be that quiet. We'd recommend contacting whoever you purchased them from to see if you are able to still exchange it for a different one.
Thanks for the explanation Sir. Please answer this query - I have 2019 model TCL TV with HDMI ARC port, and JBL 9.1 with HDMI eARC port, also a Xiaomi Box 2nd Gen.
So if I connect an external hard drive (that has bluray rip movies of lossless Dolby Atmos) to Xiaomi Box, which inturn will be connected to JBL 9.1, so will the sound output be lossless Dolby Atmos ?
It should. We have not tested that before though.
@@AudioAdvice thanks for your reply, I will try if it works.
I have had this Sound bar for about 3 years but now its stuck on LOAD and does not respond and there's no sound coming out of it. What should I do?
It sounds like your bar 9.1 is locked up. Have you tried removing power for several minutes, then rebooting. If that does not fix it, you’ll need to contact the dealer you purchased it from. Thanks for watching.
Is it normal for this specific soundbar to get very hot even when it’s not in use ? Please help
That is the first we have heard.
I’m facing a problem , which the detachable speakers, when I dock it to the bar, a red light appears but after waiting a whole day, it sill says the battery is low. Why? Even though I have seen the red light that indicates it’s charging
The batteries may need to be replaced. Reach out to JBL for options
How to set up wifi ?
Am I better off connecting to my TV via the optical cable or HDMI?
eARC HDMI is best. If your TV has that
hey love your reviews
i have a apple tv 4k
but my tv doesn't support earc
i planning to connect the apple tv directly to the soundbar
i saw a few reviews that say i will no get dolby atmos using stream apps like Netflix?
Did you fix it?
I am currently using a Samsung Q60r and I get dolby atmos with Netflix. All I had to do was change a couple settings in audio. I enabled dolby atmos compatibility and change the digital output audio format to Dolby Digital+, it allows atmos to work thru Arc (if tv doesn't have eArc).
Anyway atmos on netflix might work for an apple tv, i just don't know the settings
Apple TV 4k to HDMI In of 9.1 ... the only way to get Dolby Atmos from Apple TV Apps like Netflix, Disney+ ... AppleTV+ offers also fine Atmos Content like „ See“
I can't pass calibration. Always Retry. Factory seret, firmware updated, follow anyone topic in reddit, every way but still retry. Can someone help me 😭
I have my sound bar connected to arc on my TV and arc on the soundbar but I get no sound via my TV? Bluetooth works fine. I've also replaced the hdmi cable but still nothing
You may need to check your TV settings and make sure they are on audio system and not TV speakers
Is it possible to leave the rear speakers in the back on a micro usb charger so you do not have to charge them on the sounbar each on a side ?

if you could explain how to hook it to a computer directly without it being a configuration and driver nightmare, i'd love it. if i hook it to my TV i cant get atmos as my computer will only provide 2.0 stereo if not hooked directly to my jbl
You might want to just try connecting a streaming box like a Chromebox, Roku, etc Thanks for watching
Have to unplug and replug it back in because it loses connection with my Sony TV using HDMI
I can’t get my sound bar to say Dolby Atmos. When I play Atmos movies sound bar says Dolby surround sound. I’m using LG OLED CX 77 inch. I’m using Apple Netflix Disney and Prime apps that’s on the tv. I had to change HDMI cord because one came with system was too short.
I have a LG c9 Oled. I had the same problem. you have to use "passthrough" to get the Dolby Atmos feature. Go to your sound menu and look for the HDMI connection. You should see passthrough . Just highlight it and you will be good to go.

@@AudioAdvice thanks for the advise I'll check it out
Does rear speakers get charged while we are using the soundbar and suround speakers are attached to soundbar ?
They should charge when physically attached to the bar.
@@AudioAdvice I have/had the same understanding but JBL says they only get charged when Soundbar is on Standby mode.

Can we charge the detachable speakers with a USB Micro B and place the speakers at the rear permanently ?
Yes, they can be recharged via USB.
For soundbar 5.1 brother, my detachable speakers are not on but its connected to soundbar as white light is on. How to connect them and switch on them? Please help

@@AudioAdvice thnx i have figured out. My tv needed a reset mode. Majority ppl must have faced such issues. It was pairing issue with tv
Just wanted to ask, can i use surround speaks while they are in charging mode via USB cable?
Which soundbar is better between Jbl 9.1 and sumsung Q900c?
Very close call but we think the JBL probably wins.
Will this be better than a Logitech z906 5.1 speakers? In terms of sound quality?
This is better .. of course but....I suggest that to get more precise audio(I mean if u want to experience the surround sound precisely )better go with Logitech!!
@@rohithbathula2004 my z906 doesnt have dolby atmos and since its only using optical it can only process dolby digital
I replaced the Logitech z906 with JBL Bar 9.1, and it is way better. i didn`t expect to be so impressed. It is in another league! Much richer sound an way better thumping bass. It also "spread" the surround sound better than the z906. Feed it with Atmos content, and be amazed!
@@mr.ibanez3622 exactly same thoughts. I just purchased JBL Bar 9.1 last Wednesday and replaced my z906 and it sounds amazing. I love chromecasting music on it coz it sounds sooo good. I love the bass as well very far from z906's muddy bass. Check my channel I did a simple unboxing and sound test on JBL 9.1
@@GlennThoughts Sure, will do that!
How to connect microphone on jbl 9.1? Thanks
You can not do that. Thanks for watching
My biggest issue is there's no LED light on the bar to show if it's on or off, just a small light on the top of the Bar would be good, somewhere where it's not distracting.
Hi sir I m from Pakistan I have 1 question sir I like so much JBL 9.1 bar but pls solve my confusion I saw movies in Dolby Atmos & Dolby digital plus & DTS x then display show Dolby Atmos multi channel pcm what's this setting is correct if not then I reset my bar ? Please reply 🙏 thanks
If you are streaming that is why. If you are playing a Blu-ray Disc directly into the JBL make sure the player is set to bitstream. Thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice thanks for reply
How does the setup for wifi work?
It’s on page 11 of your owners manual. Thanks for watching
Can you please review the JBL BAR 1000?
Who it's the best? BAR 9.1 or BAR 1000?
We will when the are available. Thanks for watching
Left..... Right. Is the left right taken from the left of the sound bar looking into the room, or left from the room looking at the soundbar??
As you sit in your chair facing the system the left channel is on your left
