How To

Usually, the first time you connect the N90Q to your computer with the USB cable, and turn the headphone ON, it will cause a message to open on your computer, informing you that this new device has been connected, and a software package is being imported.
Next time, you may get a warning that your USB device is not recognized by the computer, but that does not mean that the headphone will not work, it just means that you must activate it in the audio control systems.

1. 
   Locate the speaker symbol, which is usually shown at the extreme right in your computer taskbar along the bottom of the screen.
2. 
   Right-click on the speaker symbol.
3. 
   A menu opens, and you must highlight and click on Playback Devices.
4. 
   Now a small window opens, showing the Playback tab, with all available speaker option.
5. 
   One of the options should read something like this: " Speakers. AKG N90 headphones - Firmware version A2.12. Ready."
6. Highlight this option, and then click the "Set Default" button that is now available in the window. Audio should immediately be sent to the N90 headphones as a digital signal, which is then converted and amplified inside the headphones.
7. Now you can enjoy world-class music listening.

If the computer will not show N90Q as an option, it is usually a solution to disconnect the headphone, then reconnect it. Sometimes this must be done two or three times before the computer "sees" the headphone.
 

Our BDS device do not support 5 GHz networks. You must connect it to a 2.4 GHz network (b, g or N networks).

No, sorry it is not possible to do so, as it requires some additional hardware changes, which the old BDS systems do not have.

This is because a 4K TV will force the BDS into 4K resolution (upsampling), because this gives the best picture quality, being the highest resolution possible. However, there is no such thing as a 3D 4K movie. All 3D discs are full HD (1080p), but cannot be reproduced in 4K, because 4K resolution cannot be combined with 3D. The solution is to enter the setup menu of the BDS, selecting normal full HD resolution in the picture settings menu. Now 3D movies will be shown correctly on the 4K TV.

During the design phase, it was decided to optimize BT reception, which is achieved by buffering digital signal streams. Since this takes a little bit of time, a slight delay will be the result. We have now optimized the software, so the lip-sync problem is no longer an issue. Video materials can now be watched with proper audio timing. Please check the product support page "downloads" tab for your headphone to check for the update files. If you experience delay, even after performing the update, please be aware that delays can occur for several reasons. For instance, the Bluetooth transmitter in a TV set can introduce delay. Also, some TV sets can cause timing changes if certain image processes are used. Try to disengage image processing, and check if lip-sync adjustment is available in your TV. With YouTube or other streaming services: In cases of lip-sync issues, it may also be a good idea to carry out a refresh of the source website. Always try more than one streaming source to determine if the delay comes from the streaming service or from you connection.

Please make sure that your smart-device that is using the HK Controller app and OMNI speaker(s), are connected to the same band (2.4G or 5G) when using a Dual-band router.

Yes, if you are using our new feature JBL Conncet. It will allow up to two products that have this feature, to be connected together. Connect to one of your speakers via Bluetooth or AUX source, press the JBL Connect button on the speakers. A sound will come when they are connected. You are now able to see them connected in the JBL Connect app.

Yes, the SB 450 supports the JBL Connect feature but only to stream audio through Bluetooth. Please note, the JBL Portable app will not work with this speaker, nor will it support stereo music playback when linking two SB 450s together.

To use DLNA properly, you will need to share your folders from your server or PC, before our BDS system can detect your content.

Please make sure that the switch on the underside of cable remote is moved to the Android functionality. If it is set to iPhone, it will not work with Android phones. You can change the setting with your nail, or use the end of the cleaning tool.

No, using two virtualization algorithms at the same will very negatively affect the performance and sound quality. Be sure you’re only using one surround sound solution at a time.

Make sure that both speakers are using the same network technology, either Ethernet or WiFi. Mixing them will increase music loading time.

DVD and Blu-ray Disc copy protection only allows analog video output up to 576p resolution when playing DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. To view video at higher resolutions use the AVR’s HDMI inputs and HDMI output instead of its component video inputs and output.

Use the Google Voice Assistant button on your Citation Bar remote control when using these inputs. When you press this button, the current volume level will temporarily decrease and the Google Voice Assistant will begin listening for your command. If you wish to use Google Voice Assistant with the wake-up word when steaming music over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in a 5.1 surround sound system, turn off the Surround setting on the Citation Bar touch screen.

The correct button is the POP-UP button, located in the upper left corner of the upper big, square button. This will work as return button.

When using the Boost TV as single device, it can have up to 3 Bluetooth connected devices attached. Once you are activating JBL Connect, it can only have one active Bluetooth source connected. To be able to use a different Bluetooth source, please turn off Bluetooth on your current connected device, and then press Bluetooth button on the Boost TV to enter pairing mode. Your new Bluetooth device are now connected and in control of the music.

• Please check whether you connected JBL DRG with your smartphone and head unit via Bluetooth before, then power off the head unit. • If you have, wait 2 minutes for JBL DRG to reconnect to smartphone after power on. This is because JBL DRG will automatically search for the head unit, first then the smart phone.

This is sometimes a problem with wired connections to computers or NAS drives. There is no way to change this, unfortunately.

To use the Onyx Studio 2 with a PC or MAC, please make sure that you have the correct Bluetooth driver, that supports A2DP Audio Codec.

Typically when we are talking about projectors, they are normally installed in a place where the HDMI cable is too long, and the signal has a hard time reaching the AVR. It is also possible that the projector is not compatible with the AVR. To be sure it works with the AVR, please move projector closer and use a short HDMI cable. We recommend a cable that is 3 meters in length or less. If the projector works with the shorter cable, and you have no choice but to use a longer cable, you will need an HDMI repeater/amplifier/eq/booster (name varies depending on the manufacturer), to boost the signal so that it can make it all the way from the AVR to the projector.

Close and restart the Google Home app, or restart your phone. Start the Google Home app again, and the speaker should now appear.
 

Please make sure that the audio out format is set to PCM in the TV. Dolby Digital or other surround formats will not work with the BTA 20 transmitter.

The Harman AVR App controls your receiver through your smartphone, which communicates via your wireless home network. Please make sure that your AVR is properly connected to your network router, with cable for the smaller models. If you have no wireless home network, you cannot use the app.

AURA Studio is not supported via our app, and that means you cannot change any settings on it.

Please make sure that your BDS is connected to the home network router also used by your smartphone.

Please place your AVR in full Standby by holding the Power Button for at least three seconds. Now, when you switch it ON again, the problem should have disappeared. Please note that Sleep Mode is not sufficient, you must use full Standby.

Our Control X Wireless speakers use Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz network to connect them. If there are any obstacles or people blocking the connection, it can cause interference. We suggest positioning the speakers on a high-level surface or shelf, to avoid any interference.

Please make sure that if you use 5GHz or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, all your speakers are connected to either 2.4GHz or all are connected to 5GHz Wi-Fi to have the best performance.

In the Owner's Manual, we say "Up to 30 m (between primary and secondary speakers)". This applies to an ideal setup, with no obstacles and interference, and if there is interference at this distance, you will have to reduce the distance between the speakers. Please check for any objects and obstacles that could cause interruptions.

The first 105 files are registered right away. If you know that you have more files in the DLNA system, wait for close to a minute, while the BDS -75 / -77 registers the additional files. After a short while, it will begin counting until all files are registered, or until the maximum of 2000 files is reached.

No, the Bluetooth name is fixed and not changeable. If you have multiple ESQUIRE2 in your Bluetooth list, and when activating one of them, it should be the "first" on your Bluetooth list.

The ALLURE PORTABLE is not constantly looking for a wi-fi system. When you turn the unit on, it finds the wi-fi, connects, and begins working. When you move into another section with a different router, the ALLURE PORTABLE will no longer be connected. You will have to turn the ALLURE PORTABLE off and then back on again, so that it can find it's new wi-fi router.

Please note that the AUX source supports a variety of input connections. By pressing the AUX button on the remote several times, the input toggles between the different audio inputs. Please press the remote control AUX button repeatedly, until the front display shows the correct input source. This should set the AUX input correctly, and you should have audio back in your speakers, to let you enjoy your Harman Kardon system.

When the secondary speaker gets out of range, audio disappears, but there is no indication that the transmission is out of range, other than silence. Once they get within range again, the front panel LED blinks a few times, indicating that connection has been re-established. During normal operation, random blinking can be experienced, which is an indication of the wireless link having recovered from interference.

Make sure your WiFi extender's name is not the same as that of your main WiFi network. Please use 5 GHz WiFi extenders only for best performance.

The quality of content depends on your Internet bandwidth. The minimum Internet speed is at least 25Mbps (megabit per second) or above for the best performance.
When using the LINK BAR to the WiFi router, always use 5 GHz WiFi band for highest performance at any time.

If you are still struggling with the quality of your content, then we have added an Ethernet port (LAN connection), which allows you to wire the LINK BAR for a steadier connection and performance.

More actionable advice:

• Limit your device(s) at night or when you are streaming content that requires the best performance possible!
• Upgrade older product that could cause slow data transfer.
• Move devices that are capable of connecting to 5 GHz WiFi and leave "Legacy" product on 2.4 GHz only.
• Upgrade your router. Upgrading to a newer generation router is cheap and effective way to improve your home network in every way. It provides both a better Wi-Fi range and stronger signal.
• We are recommending that you go for a mid to high-level Wi-Fi router.

If you have updated the unit from a USB stick, performed a reset procedure and removed power from the unit completely for at least 10 seconds, and the BDS still does not work, please repeat the update process. You may want to re-download the update file as well. This should solve the issue, and we are sorry for this inconvenience.

Please note that this is a universal remote, which will work with most Android OS phones. However, if some functions do not work, we advise you to contact the phone manufacturer.

When using an Android device, you need to have location service active on your phone or tablet and make sure that you allowed "Google Home app" to use the phone or tablet location service. However, make sure your Wi-Fi router has UPnP enabled and that you do not use any network extenders while connecting the product.

Often, hum is caused by a ground loop. This is a problem that is sometimes created when connecting two or more electrical components together. Sometimes the problem does not lie in any one particular unit, but in how they're connected. If your subwoofer is connected to a different wall outlet than your system, try to move the subwoofer plug to the same outlet. This may require an extension cord just for the trial. If it works, you can permanently move the sub or use an extension cord. However, if the hum you are hearing is coming from inside the sub, or if it is constant even when nothing is connected to the inputs of the sub, there is something wrong with the sub and you should bring it in for service.

To use our ESQUIRE2 with your Windows system, you'll need to find a Bluetooth driver that supports A2DP Audio codec. HARMAN do not have these and therefore you will need to contact your PC manufacturer.

The system features an automatic mute function that becomes active after 10 seconds of no signal activity. Since the output level varies greatly between different genres and recording levels, it is highly recommended to set your source volume levels above 4, or preferably at mid-level, then controlling the listening level using the volume control provided in the speaker system.

The new Boombox 2 does not feature the Indoor/Outdoor Mode. With the first generation Boombox, the Outdoor Mode was loud, but lacking sufficient bass. The Boombox 2 has both improved bass and loudness to create the perfect balanced sound for all environments.

The amplifier has a signal sensor on the high-level (speaker level) inputs, so it is not necessary to use a trigger cable when input is high-level, and connected to the high-level inputs. However, low-level input signals through the RCA-phone input sockets do not activate a signal sensor, so use of a trigger cable is MANDATORY for low-level input signal use.
