This is caused by the volume synchronizaton system in the iPad. When you switch off the iPad with click sounds activated, it sends the click sound to the Go+Play, also ordering the Go+Play to increase volume to maximum. The hiss is a result of the Go+Play Wireless being at full volume. As soon as you re-start your music playing from the iPad, volume is back to normal music use. If you do not switch the iPad on again, the Go+Play goes into standby after a few minutes, and the hiss disappears. You can prevent this problem by de-activating the click/alarm sounds on the iPad.Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback!

Please check the picture settings on your cable box, particularly the aspect ratio settings, which will vary depending on the brand and model of your cable box and on your local cable provider. You may wish to consult with your cable provider for more information on how to adjust the cable box's settings. Some settings, such as a setting to force an analog channel's native 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9 widescreen to fit your display, may interfere with the cable system's copy-protection feature and cause distortion.Was this helpful?

The rechargeable AAA cells may of course be worn out, or they may not be installed at all. If this is the case, either insert the cells, or you can order new cells as original spare parts. Please contact Harman Helpdesk for your country, or the distributor for your country, for further info about how to buy new cells. Please note that the cells MUST be compatible with charging contact for the minus pole located on the side of the cell. Normal cells will not work. This is clearly mentioned in the owner's manual, and shown with a drawing. If you have purchased new cells with plastic coating along the length of the cell, it may be possible to peel off the coating by cutting gently with a knife, then peeling it off. Only about 1 cm needs to be open to the metal, closest to the flat end, for contact to be possible. Please note that the ear pads on K 912 are removed by simply grabbing the plastic plate that holds the ear pad, and pulling it away from the ear pod. There is one battery in each ear pod. For K 915, never just pull the pad away, since the locking claws are released by being rotated away from their locked position.. Both batteries are under the right-hand pad, and there is a silk-screened instruction on the top of the pod, showing that you must rotate the pad plate just a few mm counter-clockwise to unlock it.Was this helpful?

This problem is usually caused by pressing down too hard on the soundbar's VOL + or VOL - Buttons. Only press just enough for one click to be felt. If a second click is felt in the button, you are pressing too hard, and you are actually activating the MUTE function for learning, not VOL up or down. You may have to repeatedly let go of the VOL button on the soundbar, followed by pressing it again and then pressing the VOL button on the TV remote before the surround light on the soundbar lights up white and goes back to amber flashing, as a sign that this function has been learned. This is no problem, though. Just keep trying until the three commands have been learned. The soundbar only exits learning mode when you press and hold the surround button as the final step.Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback!

JBL QuantumSPHERE 360 is JBL QuantumSURROUND that’s kicked up a notch by using a head-tracking sensor to fix sounds in 360 degrees of space around you. With typical headphones, when you move your head, the soundscape follows your movement. But with JBL QuantumSPHERE 360, if you rotate your head, the sound source’s perceived location stays in place because the head-tracking sensor compensates for your head movement. For example, if there’s a sound coming from in front of you, and you turn your head to the left, the sound source’s perceived location moves to your right ear—the sound stays locked in space as you move your head.
Also, the human brain uses small head movements to distinguish if sound sources are behind or in front of us. The brain processes the differences between when a sound arrives at the left vs. the right ear to determine where the sound is located. So with JBL QuantumSPHERE 360, you can move your head naturally to pinpoint the exact source of sounds around you.Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback! -
LE Audio is the next generation of Bluetooth Audio, making audio streaming over Bluetooth Low Energy possible. It enables new use cases and significantly reduces power consumption compared to Classic (BR/EDR) Audio. LE Audio allows for independently synchronized audio streams to each earbud as well as seamlessly broadcasting audio streams to multiple listeners, with low power consumption. At the heart of LE Audio updates is the new Low Complexity communication codec (LC3). LC3 is a flexible, high performance, low power audio codec that can deliver high quality audio even at lower bit rates. LC3+, as the high-res upgrade, is expected to be supported more widely than any of the other high-res codecs. The JBL Tour 2nd generation is developed to support LC3 & LC3+ and equipped with technology and speaker drivers to support high resolution audio via Bluetooth.

Let's run through some basic check marks to ensure we didn't miss anything while setting up your device.
- Your Citation device is turned on
- Check the password you have entered, and re-enter it again (typos can happen).
- Make sure your mobile device has the initial support needed:
- Android 4.4 OS and higher
- Apple iOS 10 OS and higher
- The latest version of Google Home app
- Your phone needs Bluetooth to be on
- Enable Location Service
(Android only)
- Plus you need to permit Google Home app
to access your location on the phone (Android only).
The basic check is done, and we are now moving into your Wireless network setup.- Try moving your speaker closer to the Wireless network router
- Have you previously connected the speaker to your WiFi network? If yes, look below or move to "Troubleshooting"
- Did you recently make any changes to your network, such as buying a new router, adding an extender, or maybe changed settings?
-
Maybe your ISP (Internet Service Provider) did some changes, possibly even updating your Wireless router software.
Troubleshooting- Your WiFi router might need a reboot, unplug power for 1 minute and connect power again.
- While you are rebooting your WiFi router, we advise doing the same for your speaker. Simply disconnect power and reconnect power again.
- In case rebooting the speaker didn't work, let's try resetting your speaker by pressing the Reset Button
for 5 seconds (Front LED will light up).
- Go ahead with the setup again (remember to open Google Home app
)
- Reboot your mobile device
WiFi Network Troubleshooting- Check your WiFi router settings. Be sure that UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled.
- Change Wireless channels on your WiFi router on 2.4G or 5G..
- Avoid using other channels on 2.4G other than 1, 6 and 11. The rest are a NO-GO.
- Keep a maximum of 8 devices in total on 2.4G (that is including our speakers).
- Move products to WiFi 5G band, if they support it, to reduce the stress factor on the 2.4G band
- Check your WiFi router to see if there is a MAC address limitation.
- MAC address limitation is when your router is set/fixed to a maximum of 20 devices (or whatever it may have been configured for).
- When you want to add the 21st device your router will deny access because you have filled up the 20 devices.
- You need to clear or delete old devices that are not in use anymore. This may require someone with technical knowledge.
- We advise that you don't have any MAC address limitations at all.
- Avoid bad extenders (Cheap ones are often not powerful enough to deal with or handle the kind of data required to transmit high quality audio).
- With extenders, the connection between "router and extender" is decreased by 50%. That said, your data will be even slower,. having to processes it while the speed is decreased.

Make sure both headphones are fully charged to ensure that the issue is not due to one of the earbuds lacking power.
Check that the contact points on the headphones and the charging case are clear of dirt, so the issue is not due to the product not being able to charge.
The LED on the headphones will show a blue light when correctly inserted in the charging case.
Try to reset the headphones if the product is fully charged but are still only working in Mono mode.
A reset guide for the headphones can be found here: Reset guide

The first thing you’ll notice is that sound no longer feels like it’s “inside your head.” Suddenly it seems like the game audio is coming from high-quality loudspeakers—or the virtual game world—all around you.
It’s a different experience than you get with other headphones, and may take a little while to adjust to. For example, sounds coming from sources in the distance will seem farther away, as they would in real life. Even though you might be used to those sounds feeling closer with other headphones, JBL QuantumSURROUND provides hyper-accurate spatialization that can give you a competitive edge.
So spend some time dialing in the EQ to your liking, and see how real-world hearing helps you pinpoint enemies and bring the game to life.

To have the best possible performance for OMNI+ system we advise to have a dual-band router with a powerful chipset and ram for best Wi-Fi performance. This will not only help our products to perform better and more stable, but your other devices at home will have more power and fewer interruptions. Please also be sure that your home Wi-Fi router has Multicast enabled, as our Omni+ system requires this feature enabled in order to work (same goes for Chromecast devices). Always connect our Omni+ system to 5 GHz Wi-Fi whenever possible to limit the risk of devices being slow or interrupted on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback!
