Product Q&A
The soundbar is great with music! But!! When watching a movie it’s very bad, crackling & popping sounds.. very disturbing.. at any volume music works great.
Will there be an update for an extra sound mode? A movie or tv mode would be nice. Voice and dialogue are too low, and sound effects are too high during movie or tv.
JBL remote stops working all together when I use the bar with my TV, I've connected it every way possible in the manual and the problem persists. I know the remote works because it's fine when connected to my projector and iPhone via BT. Why?
How does this soundbar connect to a tv?
Hello, please tell me what is the difference between JBL Bar 2.1 and JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass? Not counting the design.
Can you add an extra woofer to it
Why does subwoofer don't connect to the soundbar?
I just recieved my 2.1 deep bass. I hooked it up with an optical cable and with hdmi cable. The sound bar does turn on but no sound. The base module does not make a sound either. The system is dead except for the tv led or standby when you turn on or off.
