How To

Make sure your home network's Internet connection is active and the Citation speaker is placed within Wi-Fi range. If you are using a Wi-Fi extender, your speaker may be confused which network to connect to. If this is happening, try moving the speaker closer to the main router and renaming the Wi-Fi extender.

Your JBL speaker is waterproof with IPX7 rating. (IPX7 means it can survive immersion in 1 meter/3.3 feet for up to 30 minutes.) To maintain the looks and functions of your speaker, please make sure to rinse it with fresh water after using it at a swimming pool or the ocean, then dry off all covers and areas where water can gather. The standard for waterproofing is for tap water. Chemicals and salt in your pool or the ocean can damage the waterproof seals or harm the surface finish over time if not rinsed off after use.

1. Insert both earbuds into the charging case.
2. Try to click 5 times on both left and right earbuds button simultaneously, to reconnect left and right earbuds.
 

Try below steps. Attach the charger so the device is charging. While charging: First try to hold the "Volume +" and "Phone" buttons at the same time for more than 3 seconds (this resets the Flip 3 to factory settings). If this does not help, press and hold the "Volume +" and "Link" buttons for more then 10 seconds (this will exit demo mode). As a last step, short press on the "Volume -" & "Volume +" & "Phone" buttons. If the device will still not turn on, it has a defect.

Yes, rinse it under a faucet or under the shower, but not under full water pressure.

Voice commands can only be triggered by the user who registered them during setup.

Fortunately the Go+Play in all versions is made with this problem in mind. One of the feet is adjustable. Look at the four feet. One is different from the others. You can insert a 3mm hex key into the center hole in it, then loosen the foot insert and unscrew it until the unit is steady. The adjustable insert may stick a little, so exert a steady, firm pressure to get it loose if this is the case.

Sometimes after a system update, many Bluetooth connections and application handshakes no longer function. Therefore we advise to delete the existing pairing, and restart your smart device/telephone/tablet computer. After restart is completed, please connect to the product once again via Bluetooth. It should now be visible in our HK Remote app.

The Go+Play Wireless must be in Standby to be able to switch On when receiving a signal. This function uses a small amount of power, and cannot be switched off. Remove batteries when not in use for more than 2 weeks to prevent power draining.

A certain degree of sensitivity is necessary to make the response system function. In some cases, hair or a cap touching the sensor plates can activate the system, even if you do not want it. The solution is to lock the sensor system. Put your finger on the left sensor plate, and hold it there for more than 4 seconds. Now the sensors are locked, and the problem is solved. Unlocking is done the same way.

If you are experience problems with reading any CD disc, please go to an authorized service center for help.

Tap-hold on the right ear bud forcefully to reconnect heart rate. If this does not work, Hold the middle button to turn off, then back on your headphones.

With some phones, such as iPhones and some Android models, volume is synchronized while Bluetooth is used, and levels below volume setting 6 (tested with iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s) and volume setting 5 on most Android devices will cause the GO to enter standby after some minutes. If you want to play softer while still using your iPhone as a source, please change to cabled connection from the headphone output to the AUX input of GO. This will make it possible for you to set the GO's volume at its minimum step, and then control total level on the telephone. Of course, if source level from the telephone is set extremely low, the GO will go into standby again, because GO needs a certain level to keep playing. Alternatively, use a phone which does not synchronize volume as source. Many Android phones do not synchronize volume, so by using such a phone, you can adjust GO to its lowest level, adjusting total level independently, even via Bluetooth. This will usually result in music volume at the desired level.

Some of the DJ EQ curves have been removed from the My JBL Headphones app. Harman will ‘continuously’ update the My JBL Headphones app with new DJ sound-curves as this number changes based on who we sign agreements with and when.

See the release notes for app version 4.10.9 below:
- Adding support for TOUR PRO+ TWS and TOUR ONE Global version
- Removing expired DJ’s signatures

This headphone is supported by the My JBL Headphones App.

To install your JBL LINK speaker using Apple iOS... 1. Download the Google Home app. 2. Activate your Bluetooth connection, as it is required for Apple devices. 3. Follow the instructions in the Google Home app.

Sounds like your JBL LINK 10 or LINK 20 has been connected to another Wi-Fi network. It is very simple to reconnect to your Wi-Fi by using the Google Home app. Simply select your Wi-Fi in the app, and you're all set. All information about the speaker and voice teaching is stored in the Cloud, so you do not have to do this again.

We are sorry about this problem. EuP regulations require that electronics go into full off after some time. Unfortunately, this means that the soundbar cannot be woken up again after half an hour. It is necessary to use the ON/OFF switch.

No, your subwoofer is not defective at all! This is normal and by design of the product after it has been paired for a longer period of time.

There will be times that the LEFT ear will disconnect from the RIGHT or (primary) earbud. To get the Left ear to reconnect, make sure that the RIGHT earbud is on and emitting sound. Take the LEFT ear out of the charging case and put in ear. Press and hold down the power button on the LEFT ear bud for 5-8 seconds. You should hear the power on chime and then both ear buds should emit sound now. 

No, since the speaker does not store any information locally. To remove all settings from your stolen device, simply unlink the speaker from your account, and the next time the speaker goes online it will not connect to your account. However, if you have used the command ""Remember this"" feature, please beware of sensitive information, as the speaker will inform you of whatever you have asked it to remember. But after unlinking the speaker, it will forget.

Yes, this is normal for the N60NC BT. It disappears within about 20 seconds.

In order to get the earbuds to power on, please remove the plastic film to allow the pins in the charging case to make contact with the contact plates on the earbuds.

First try turning power to the No. 40 OFF, disconnect then reconnect the existing comms cable between the No. 40 Audio and Video processors, and power the No. 40 ON. If this does not help try a different comms cable, this is a straight through 4 conductor cable with a 4 pin connector on each end. If replacing this cable does not help contact one of our authorized service centers for repair assistance – their contact information is under the SUPPORT tab on the Mark Levinson website.

If your Wi-Fi network name has special characters, such as (, `, \, ', ", or ), then please change the name of your Wi-Fi network, as these characters are not supported. After changing the name, you can go ahead and setup the speaker to your Wi-Fi network.

Dual band routers that have 2.4 and 5 GHz connection bands. If devices connect on different bands, they cannot see one another. Please make sure your phone and speakers are both connected to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz and that there is no AP isolation activated between them.

One explanation can be that your OMNI 50+ is part of a 5.1 system with your Omni Bar, which will make the surround OMNI 50+ left and right rear speakers act as "secondary", and Bluetooth connection is not possible to secondary speakers. To use the OMNI 50+ as a portable speaker again, simply perform a reset of the speaker by pressing the reset button for 5 seconds. Please note that after resetting your OMNI 50+, it is no longer part of the 5.1 wireless system.

Yes, it will power off after removing charging cable. It is by design.

It is normal because USB-PD (USB Power Delivering) fast charging has a higher charging speed at the beginning and lower when your device soon to be full.

1. Ensure that your Harman Kardon One app device is less than 10m/33ft from the speaker during the initial set-up.
2. Ensure it is plugged into power and the power LED is illuminated.
3. Unplug the power cord, wait 10 seconds, reconnect the power cord and allow the speaker to power up.
4. Temporarily relocate either the speaker or router so that they are closer together. If the connection succeeds, the original location may be too far from the router to maintain a stable connection.
5. Try using a different device with the Harman Kardon ONE app installed and connected to your home network.

1. Ensure that your JBL One app device is less than 10m/33ft from the speaker during the initial set-up.
2. Ensure it is plugged into power and the power LED is illuminated.
3. Unplug the power cord, wait 10 seconds, reconnect the power cord and allow the speaker to power up.
4. Temporarily relocate either the speaker or router so that they are closer together.  If the connection succeeds, the original location may be too far from the router to maintain a stable connection.
5. Try using a different device with the JBL ONE app installed and connected to your home network.

With some Blu-ray discs, you have to go to the Settings Menu of your Blu-ray player and select "Bitstream" or "Bitstream Native". This will carry the DTS HD Master signal to be decoded in the AVR, and the AVR front panel should show the correct text.

Yes, this is a normal characteristic of this system.

It is usually not necessary to replace an unresponsive remote control. First, check to see if there is a small plastic tab extending out of the base of the remote control. This is a protective sleeve installed on new remote controls to prevent the battery from draining. Pull this tab to remove the plastic sleeve. The sleeve must be removed before the remote will operate. If the sleeve was removed or not present and the remote control is not working then a new battery should be installed before replacing the remote control. There is a small slide out drawer that houses the battery. The battery type will be either CR2025 or CR2032 for remotes of this size. Replacement batteries are commonly available from most electronic and convenience stores that sell small batteries. Check the number on the original battery and replace it with a battery that uses the same number. These steps will typically solve the problem.

You might accidentally pressed volume- and surround button at the same time. This combination activate a special demo mode for the product. To stop the demo mode, either perform a full reset by holding down volume+ and surround button for 5 seconds or when power is on, press volume- and surround button again for 5 seconds.

This can be caused by dirt and dust accumulating on the charging arm, which can reduce the effectiveness of the adhesive. Clean the surface of the charging arm with a wet cloth or alcohol wipes. Do not use paper towels as these can leave paper debris.

There are two ways to blow speakers. The first is the one we all know and understand. If you pump 500 watts into a speaker that is only rated at 100 watts, kaboom, it blows up. As a result, very few of us do this. So then why are all of these poor, helpless speakers blowing up? Because of the second reason, under-powering. It's really a misleading term, but let's try to explain. First let's take it to the maximum. Example: You have a 1000 watt speaker and a 100 watt amplifier. The way you like to listen to music requires 300 watts. Typically, you will ask your amp to put out that 300 watts that you want to hear. The amp will do it, but it will clip and distort. Unfortunately, the human ear can't hear distortion until it reaches almost 10%. By that time it's usually too late. The speaker keeps trying to reproduce this distortion that it's not capable or reproducing and eventually it blows (usually the tweeter fails first). If you are blowing speakers with an amp that has a power rating lower than your speakers, you are pushing your amp too far, causing it to clip, and blowing speakers. If you are pushing your system too hard, it is suggested that you realize your systems limitations or recommend that you get a more powerful amplifier. Please realize, if you only buy speakers that will handle more power and not a more powerful amplifier, you won't solve the problem. The speakers will still blow, because it is distortion that is blowing them, not too much power.

Our Control X Wireless speaker has two different patterns for switching on, when using either battery or AC power. When using battery, turning on one speaker in either stereo mode or association mode (4 speakers connected), all will turn on simultaneously, no matter which is primary or secondary. When connected to AC power, switch on the primary speaker in stereo or associated mode, and the secondary speakers will follow. If you have associated speakers stereo or 4 speakers connected, then you have to press primary speaker's power button for more than 2 seconds, then the primary will send signal to secondaries, and they will wake up. It takes approx. 30-60 seconds before all are switched on. If your press it too short (less than 2 seconds), the primary speaker will not "pair" the secondary speakers together. Switch off the primary and start over again.

Do not worry, pairing both devices is easy and quick. Press the "pairing" button on the back of the Omni Bar, then press "pairing" button on the subwoofer. They will start communicating with each other, and when both devices show white light in the LED on the back, that indicates that they are paired.

Some mobile phones, tablet computers or laptop computers will react to the powerful magnetic field from the loudspeaker drive units that are right beneath the top panel. Some have magnetic sensors built in, which means that covers with magnets in the lid can turn the phone ON when the cover lid is opened, and turn it OFF again when the lid is closed. Such phones may turn off if placed on certain portions of the top panel. Other devices are simply sensitive to magnetic fields. You can move the device around on the top of your L8 or L16 speaker, to check if some locations are better than others. The magnetic fields are most powerful near the front panel, where the speaker units are mounted. If you cannot find a location which works, your particular phone, tablet or laptop cannot be used while resting on the top panel of your speaker. There are no reports of damage to any devices because of this phenomenon.

This is most likely due to CEC function. Some our soundbars supports CEC commands from your TV, and if some CEC commands will make the speaker react in a way you do not like, we suggest you disable all CEC functions from your TV. Please note, that your Soundbar will not turn on when your TV is turned on, due to disabling the CEC function.

Check your audio cables and make sure they are secure. Set the volume of the source device (if applicable) to a higher level.

When you are installing new apps or adding content to your LINK BAR, the system may be a bit slower when dealing with multiple things.
Here is a couple of things you should know.

1. You need a speedy internet connection to download all the content you added.
2. Wait for everything to be finished, then you can enjoy the system without any issues.
3. Reboot LINK BAR after installing all apps. A fresh reboot can help and enhance performance.

If you find yourself encountering audio dropouts or interference coming from your surround speakers when they are not docked on the main unit, here are a couple of tips to try to remedy that.

1. Try moving any wireless routers that are near the sound bar further away.

2. Reboot router so it can auto select a new frequency channel, since the sound bar and router may be on the same channel resulting in audible interferences

3. Re-position the surround speakers so they are closer to the main unit.

4. Re-calibrate the surround speakers

5. Adjust the volume on the sound bar and gradually raise the volume, if driven to hard the sound bar speakers can distort

Yes, rinse it under a faucet or under the shower, but not under full water pressure.

- Try to disconnect some devices from your Wi-Fi network. Some routers may have weak performance, which can cause issues and poor connection to all devices in your network. - If your router supports 5Ghz ( 802.11N or AC ) and you have devices that are capable of using 5 GHz Wi-Fi then switch to that specific network for best performance. - If you have a lot of ( Legacy / older than 5 years ) devices on 2.4GHz network, try limiting them to max. 6 connected simultaneously
