The problem whit a subwoofer is, it can be too much for the nabors when you live in a appartment, even at low subsound i have waken my nabors at the upperffloore, they could feel the vibrations.
@itskimle This model comes with an HDMI cable. If you want to use optical you'd need to purchase one separately. If your TV has an HDMI with ARC support then you shouldn't need to use an optical cable.
I bought it but i got a Problem. If i Turn PCM to ON in the Audio out Settings there is Good TV watching sound. But if i Watch Netflix or YT its really Bad. On the Other side if i Turn on „Passtrough“ on the Audio is Good in YT and Surround on Netflix, but TV watching Audio is Terrible. What can i do? I use Arc HDMI. And there is no „Automatic Option“ for Audio Out for my TV.
I do recommend BOSE, not this JBL 2.0 sound bar. Sounds good but I don't like that turns off by itself after 10 minutes of inactivity. Customer service told me that feature cannot be change, its a government compliance. Then, why any other wireless Bluetooth sound system that I owe does not do that?
@James Smith. We didn't find there to be any latency with this soundbar on the TVs we used it with, however there is an Audio Sync feature built in that lets you correct delays. If you're looking to pick one up, make sure to check out our latest pricing here: www.abt.com/JBL-Bar-2.0-All-In-One-Soundbar-JBLBAR20AIOBLKAM/p/138826.html?r=0 Thanks for watching!
@coachcoop8919 It depends on the TV. Some will allow audio to be output through bluetooth as well as the TV speakers, but you generally have to set the option up through the audio menu if it's available. If you purchased your TV from Abt, please send your contact information to youtube@abt.com and we can check to see if it's compatible with this feature.
@@ql5132 thanks for the advice, I went out and purchased a pioneer AV receiver VSX 534 and my existing subs and speakers connected to my Dell ultra small pc, works a treat 😃
@lanzsantos_ If your PC has an HDMI or optical connection then you can. This has Bluetooth built in as well, however you will likely experience audio lag so it wouldn't be ideal for gaming or watching movies that way. This one from Creative isn't quite as powerful, but it's designed to work with a PC: www.abt.com/Creative-Labs-Stage-V2-2.1-Soundbar-Subwoofer-51MF8375AA000/p/181194.html
Carl, I have had this sound bar for 10 days. My Vizio died and this was on sale. I love the sound. I am in small room and the only problem I have is that with some movies I play with this sound bar via my 4K Sony blu ray player and my Samsung 4K tv connected to sound bar via HDMI AND ARC is that with some movies I put volume up where I can hear dialogue clearly but when other noise like car crashes, etc it get extremity loud where I have to turn volume down but then I cannot hear dialogue. Called JBL and was told to move from smart sound mode to standard sound mode which I did to quiet down special effects, etc. I did this several times and does not help. Have not seen this complaint from any customers on-line. COULD YOU GIVE FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS TO RESOLVE. THANK YOU SINCERELY.
@davidflint3367 It's hard to say what might be causing that to happen. If you've already tried turning off the Smart Sound mode and it didn't take care of the problem you may want to try using a different HDMI cable, or even try using an optical cable to see if there's any difference.
Thanks. Will try optical. Do you recommend trying USB connection. Also is this sound bar ready for updates and if so how do you do the updates. My 4K player and Samsung TV are both connected to internet via Wi-Fi. Thanks, Dave.
@davidflint3367 The USB connection will not work for playing back audio from the TV. That is used for updating the soundbar and to play back audio from a USB storage drive. Here is a link to the manual which details how to perform the software update: content.abt.com/documents/100491/OwnersManual_JBLBAR20AIOBLKAM.pdf The instructions are located on page 9.
Sound quality is pretty similar to those plastics ment for PC and you can get them for 30€. I can´t understand why to buy such as most of TVs have better sound originally. Total waste of money, not just a bit, but total.
Anyone to say this is a good soundbar is a child with money only looking for bass, the most obvious part and of course the looks, maybe brand, perhaps numbers like watts. For them this soundbar is perfect!!
I've bought several soundbars so far, but this was the best
8 Seconds Soundtest.... are you joking? Wtf!
Really? With the amount of compression TH-cam adds what are you expecting?
precisely and informative ... many thanks

apartments living within close proximity to others above and adjoining walls is absolutely awful,, I used to hate it
Any idea why they opted to remove AUX?
Awesome dear
Hey cant seem to find any reviews on the harman kardon sb26 is it a good soundbar? how would it compare to the JBL 5.1 bar!? Thanks
I love it amazing for the money
How about in comparison with Samsung sound bar Hw-T450 (2.1 / 200W) ? Thanks
Which one do you recommend, the jbl 2.0 all in one mk2 or the Samsung Hw 400t? thank you
So does the optical cord come with it & do you need it?
@itskimle This model comes with an HDMI cable. If you want to use optical you'd need to purchase one separately. If your TV has an HDMI with ARC support then you shouldn't need to use an optical cable.
This or the Samsung T400?

Bad TV thats all, i had the same prob bought a new expsince smart tv, same old soundsystem like a cinema now.
hello how its compare with the jbl xtreme
Do u mean that,Can we play music from usb stick?
Better than Bose TV Speaker?
I do recommend BOSE, not this JBL 2.0 sound bar. Sounds good but I don't like that turns off by itself after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Compared to the jbl charge 5 which as more bass? I know i am late to the comment section but just saw one for $50
@martinchitembo1883 The Bar 2.0 has more power and two racetrack drivers which will produce more bass than you'd get on the Charge 5.
What is the latency like on the JBL does it go out of sync very often ? 👍✌️🇬🇧
@James Smith. We didn't find there to be any latency with this soundbar on the TVs we used it with, however there is an Audio Sync feature built in that lets you correct delays.

@@abtelectronics does the audio sync feature work back as well as forward ?
@James Smith. Yes, it goes backward as well as forward.
When u connect through Bluetooth, can you still hear audio through the tv speakers?
@coachcoop8919 It depends on the TV. Some will allow audio to be output through bluetooth as well as the TV speakers, but you generally have to set the option up through the audio menu if it's available. If you purchased your TV from Abt, please send your contact information to youtube@abt.com and we can check to see if it's compatible with this feature.
is there any delay while using bt?
I have it connected to my pc and yes it does cut off
honestly too often to be using often. could just be my pc
I would have bought this if it had a aux for my pc 😕
Most motherboards have an optical port. Could've used that instead.
ULTRAWIDE I’m using Bluetooth to bridge the gap to my AV Receiver, it works well 👍
@@Ravedaze. I use a analog-digital-converter to connect to PC and it works well!
