How To

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.

Please note that these services can only be activated from the earphone's buttons when the headphones are connected via Bluetooth. Buttons on a cabled remote cannot be used for this purpose.

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.

Try resetting the device, and remove the Bluetooth device on your source device in the settings. Now Bluetooth-pair with it again. If the unit still does not work as intended, please contact our helpdesk.

Try reset the ESQUIRE2 speaker. Press and hold Volume + & phone button at the same time. When the unit is reset, it will power off, and turn on the unit again, and it is reset. Go into your Bluetooth device list and delete the ESQUIRE2 from your list. Now Bluetooth pair with it again. If the unit still do not work as intended, please contact our helpdesk.

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.

As shown in the owner's manual, the "X" on the secondary speaker's rubber band is the power button.

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.

Android N, version 7.0 may have some compatibility issues, that are resolved with Android version 7.1. If your device is running Android N 7.0, please update it to 7.1 which should fix your issue.

The registration success rate and quality of voice commands depends on the performance of your smart phone’s microphone. Make sure that your smart phone’s microphone is unobstructed and you are speaking clearly when registering commands. If you continue to have issues, try registering using a family member or friend’s smart phone as a test. If voice command registration is successful with their device, the microphone on your smart phone may have issues.

Make sure your smart phone supports BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and it is connected to Smartbase via Bluetooth.

Make sure the optical connection is seated securely on the SB200 and on your device. Go into your device settings and make sure the digital output is enabled. On TV displays the option usually states "enable external speakers" or enable "digital audio output".

AURA is DLNA compatible, which means that if you have a device capable of streaming DLNA content (AUDIO only), then it will be visible for these devices. If you do not see AURA on your network, please make sure you have connected it to the Wi-Fi and followed the procedure, as it requires to be connected via Wi-Fi.
