SMART MODE: Lacking Dialogue/Too Much Surround

When listening to multichannel content you may find that your dialogue isn’t coming in as clear, or your surround effects are louder than you’d like. Our sound bars have a feature called ‘Smart Mode’ that implement our unique JBL Surround Sound as well as other tailored EQ settings. While these are great for content that needs a helping hand, for some multi-channel content it can be overwhelming. If you find this to be the case with some content, you can disable ‘Smart Mode'.

To toggle between smart mode and standard surround, on the remote control, press and hold MUTE for more than 3 seconds, then press Volume Up (+). "OFF SMART MODE" or "ON SMART MODE" will be displayed.

NOTE: The sound bar defaults to smart mode every time the bar is turned on.

Smart TV Compatibility

It is always recommended to use our range of Soundbars if you want a speaker for your Television or Smart TV as they are designed specifically for this purpose, whereas our Portable speakers are designed primarily for use with Phones and Tablets.

Support for Bluetooth connectivity between a TV and speaker depends on a number of different factors such as Bluetooth & A2DP versions and Audio Codecs used by each device. This can vary based on the brand, model and age of the devices, however we cannot confirm if any specific combination of TV and speaker will work without issues such as latency or lip sync delay.

Sometimes, I am not able to connect JBL DRG with my smartphone.

Please check that you have connected your android phone with JBL DRG before. Power off your Android phone and press the JBL DRG BT button to connect to another smartphone. If this is the case, please wait 3 minutes for JBL DRG to setup the Bluetooth connection with a new smartphone. This is because some android phones can’t send a “Disconnect” BT command to JBL DRG during power off, so JBL DRG need to wait until the Link is lost.

Sometimes, if I remove the USB stick while playing from it, the BDS freezes.

Never remove a USB stick while the BDS is playing files from it. If the system freezes, switch the BDS unit OFF and then ON with the switch on the back panel to reset.

Sometimes when I watch HD or 3D material, I can see white specks or "snow" on the screen. What can I do to avoid this?

Try another HDMI cable, and make sure that it is a high-speed version. This solution usually solves the problem, which is caused by insufficient cable bandwith.
