Use the Auto-off function via the JBL Headphone app (Only applicable for headphones supported in our JBL Headphone app).

To turn on/off the TV, the recommended control is “OK Google, turn on”/”OK Google, turn off.”

Note that this depends on your TV manufacturer and if they support this via HDMI CEC (This works only for HDMI connection).

We do not recommend using WEP encryption method, as this can leave your Wi-Fi vulnerable to outside threats. Our OMNI+ does not support this encryption type, we are supporting WPA and up.

Make sure you disable AP/Client isolation on your Access Point / Extender and that Multicast forwarding is not disabled between the W-Fi networks. However, we cannot guarantee than streaming will work flawless as Extender networks are tricky and can cause many issues. Always use a 5GHz Wi-Fi network extender for best results.

Our ESQUIRE2 support A2DP Audio codec, which you will need for your MAC to be able to play to our ESQUIRE2.

The upgrade via HID tool will only update the Bluetooth module inside of the BDS device. There are two ways of upgrading your system. 1: Upgrading Bluetooth via HID Tool. 2: Upgrade BDS firmware via the built-in software center. The built-in software center will not upgrade your Bluetooth module.

To use the Spotify Connect feature for JBL Playlist, a premium Spotify account is required. Please visit www.Spotify.com/freetrial for 30 days of complimentary premium account trial for first time users.

Please keep the app running during a firmware upgrade. This is because the app is using BLE to transfer firmware to the JBL DRG. If you exit or kill the app, this will cause the BLE connection to be broken and the upgrade will not complete.

Unless the two remote controls are identical, you can only assign one remote control at a time to the SB16.

To use Chromecast, you must continue the setup in the Google Home app first.
Configuring the speaker only with Apple WAC will not enable the Chromecast feature.

You can quickly try out the Chromecast feature, and if you do not like it, reset your Citation or LINK speaker, and redo the configuration part on your Apple device.

Please try turning Bluetooth off on your phone and trying again, and make sure Location services are enabled for the Google Home app. If this does not work, certain phones are not compatible with the Google Home setup process, including the Vivo X21A, Vivo NEX S, and Vivo X9. Please use a different device for setup.

Use the Google Voice Assistant button on your Citation soundbar remote control when using these inputs HDMI, AUX or Optical. When you press this button, the current volume level will temporarily decrease and the Google Voice Assistant will begin listening for your command. The reason you need to use the remote control is that Google Assistant does not support Multi-channel audio from your source device (TV, BlueRay Player or TV-BOX) and therefore the mic is automatically muted unless the Google Voice Assistant button is pressed. Google Voice Assistant is always listening when streaming music over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

The built-in YouTube app is able to stream up to 1080P content. Video with higher resolution is not available.

The TV turns on with the soundbar. This is caused by CEC commands from your TV via the HDMI port. Please disable these functions on your TV, to use the soundbar while TV is off.

If you are having problems playing music after setting up a new speaker (no matter what connection is used, Ethernet, Wi-Fi), please restart the Harman Kardon Controller app after the speaker setup is complete.

It sounds like you are living in a country where Google Assistant has not yet been officially released. When Google releases the Google Assistant to more countries, the Everest GA headphones will open up for this feature. It may require a software update for this to happen. For now, you can use them as normal Bluetooth headphones and wait for the release to use the Google Assistant feature.

Please check that Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa are installed on your device.
Try to repeat the setup process.
Also, switching the headphones off and on once or twice may solve the problem.

Some third-party apps do not support volume changing when your smart device is in lock screen mode.

If you are experience this message, please power cycle the Wi-Fi router and speaker(s). Disconnect the devices' power cable for 10 seconds and then reconnect them. Once the router and speaker(s) completely boots up, please try to setup again.

If the pairing mode is not succesful, please move the subwoofer closer to your SB150. The pairing process can take up to 30 seconds before a connection has been established.

This feature is not yet implemented in our Harman Kardon Allure or Allure portable speaker. Future updates might include this option, so we advise keeping an eye on the release notes in the HK Alexa Setup app about possible future firmware updates.

There may be more than one reasons for this problem, but one detail is important: if establishing the connection manually, do not advance the cursor after having written all characters in your password with the up and down arrows. If you jump to the next empty position after the last character, this will be interpreted as an added character in itself, and the password will be wrong.

The Harman Kardon Aura Studio 2 only supports Bluetooth. The HK Controller app only works with Harman Kardon products that have WiFi connectivity.

Please note that two types of ear tips are included with AKG N5005. The black ones are normal silicone tips, and they are fine for many users. The Milky-white ones are from the company SpinFit. They have a special middle section that permits the tip to swivel in all directions, making them able to adapt to various insertion angles. Please try both. For some, one is better, for some, the other one is better. You make the decision. In normal use, the tip that makes the best seal with your ear canal is the best choice, since bass reproduction is very dependent on this seal. However, some users may find that they prefer a slightly less tight seal.

Look at the back of the primary speaker, which is the one with pause/play and volume controls. You will see a switch called "mode". This switch can be in either S or P position. S stands for Secondary, P stands for Primary. Switch to Primary, and your speaker will now open Bluetooth and will accept analog signals. (The Secondary position is used for systems where four speakers are in use, since only one speaker can act as primary speaker.)

It is important to use the correct HDMI connection on the BDS, marked with ARC. Also, the proper input must be selected with the AUX input selector button, which scrolls between the six AUX inputs. It always selects the AUX input that you used last, so once you have used the AUX ARC input, the BDS unit remembers it until you select another AUX input. Of course you have to have a TV which actually supports ARC.

The most important thing, is to be sure that both blue LEDs must flash quickly, one on the center speaker, one on the subwoofer. If just one of these LEDs does not flash quickly, pairing cannot take place. If it is difficult to make one of the LEDs change to quick flash, it may be that the button is held too long, or not pressed in the right angle. Try again with a short, firm press less then a second.

Unfortunately, some Huawei phones are not able to stream music from the HK Controller app to 1st generation Omni speakers. However, the new Omni 10+, 20+, and 50+ have fixed this issue, and you will be able to stream music to them using your Huawei phone.

Make sure your source device and AURA are on the same network. Then make sure your router is set to support older Wi-Fi protocols, such as b/g where the AURA is operating. Some routers have a function to disable older protocols and only use newer ones.

It is not possible to setup a speaker to a hidden SSID Wi-Fi network. Please make it visible to install your OMNI+ speakers.

It is not possible to use the speaker while installing it to your WiFi network. Once you have successfully connected to the WiFi network, you can use Bluetooth and AUX again.

Your device has entered full standby-mode, which means it shuts down all activity to have the lowest power consumption. This is a requirement for any product in Europe in order to reduce power consumption for devices in your home. To use the HK Remote app again, simply switch ON your device with the original remote control or the front panel on/off button.

What you are experiencing is normal. The JBL Free will automatically switch to mono mode on the RIGHT ear when the call starts. After the call ends stereo music mode will automatically resume.
