Product Q&A
I would like to place the sound bar in an enclosed shelf on our tv stand. The shelf is open in the front but is only about 4 or 5 inches high. Will that work or does the soundboard have to be placed on an open vertical surface?
does it have alexa voice ? and does it support usb playback ?
The manual and website for this soundbar refers to "Amazon Music" but doesn't mention other Alexa Skills. Is there a limit so that it only works with Amazon Music Skill, or will other Alexa Skills work, like say, the BBC Sounds skill?
It’s paired and says done but no change in sound
I have an Android phone. Would you please provide a link to the current / best JBL software to interact with my JBL Multibeam
Will the JBL Multi-beam 5.0 be available with a subwoofer at some point? I know the 5.1 is option, but that model is not capable of Dolby Atmos.
Does this soundbar have a night mode type setting than reduces loud sound effects?
Hi, I am following guide (TV x 3 seconds then volume (-) once) to adjust bass but not responding, am I doing something wrong please? Bar 5.0 Multibeam purchased today 22/11/2022
