Wall-mounting the soundbar

Note: For wall mounting, we recommend removing the feet of the soundbar

by simply unscrewing and storing them for future use.

if your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount bracket

to mount the soundbar on the wall.

1. Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall.

2. Hold the bracket against the wall as a template and mark the locations of

the wall-mount bracket holes on the wall. The three holes should be evenly

spaced 7-1/16" (18cm) apart, and the bracket slots are designed to accept

4mm screws. make sure that the holes are at the same height. See the

illustration above. mark three bracket hole locations: 7-1/16" (18cm) apart.

3. making sure that the bracket’s flat side is against the wall, attach the

wall-mount bracket to the wall at the locations you marked, using

hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials. note

that the soundbar weighs 7.3 lb (3.3kg). Be sure to use hardware that can

support this weight.

4. after reading the Connections section on page 6, connect all cables to the

soundbar.

soundbar’s Power switch in the “On” position. See Soundbar

Rear-Panel Controls and Connections, on page 6.

5. attach the soundbar to the bracket by sliding the bracket’s upper tabs into

the slots on the back of the soundbar. The soundbar’s slots allow you to

adjust the soundbar’s angle on the wall to ensure that it is level. insert tabs

on bracket into grooves in soundbar.

Subwoofer placement

The performance of a subwoofer is directly related to its placement in the

listening room and its physical position relative to the other speakers in

the system. While it is true that, in general, our ears do not hear directional

sounds at the low frequencies where subwoofers operate, remember that

– when installing a subwoofer within the limited confines of a room – the

reflections, standing waves and absorptions generated within the room will

strongly influence the subwoofer system’s overall performance. as a result,

the specific location of the subwoofer in the room becomes important to the

amount and quality of bass that is produced.

IMPorTANT: Make sure that the subwoofer’s rear

panel is at least 150 mm or 6" away from the wall to allow

for proper operation.

you may place wireless subwoofer in the positions as represented in the

above figure.

• Placingitinacornerthatisposition(1)willmaximizetheamountofbass

in the room. However, corner placement can also increase the destructive

effect of the standing waves on bass performance. This effect can vary

depending on the listening position – some listening positions may yield

very good results while others may have too much (or too little) bass at

certain frequencies.

(2) – can produce the best integration between the sound of the subwoofer

and the soundbase. in some rooms, the best performance can be resulted

by placing the subwoofer behind the listening position (3).

you can experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the

subwoofer in the listening position and playing music with strong bass

content. move it to various locations in the room while the system is playing

until you determine where the location of the best bass performance occurs.

Place the subwoofer in that location.

oPErATIoN

Turning the JBL CINEMA SB350 oN and

off

Manually: First, make certain that the rear panel power switch is

turned On. Then, short press the JBL Cinema SB350’s Power button either

on the soundbar or the remote. To put the JBL Cinema SB350 into Standby

manually, short press the Power button either on the soundbar or the remote

again.

Auto turn-off: The JBL Cinema SB350 will automatically enter

into Standby mode if no audio signal is detected at any of its source input

connections for approximately 10 minutes.

Auto turn-on: The JBL Cinema SB350 has a signal detector that

automatically turns the unit On when it senses an audio signal on the HDmi

input or paired Bluetooth source (when using HDmi, TV must support HDmi

aRC). The auto turn-on mode gets activated for analog or optical inputs only

when the JBL Cinema SB350 detects an audio signal on the input it was on

before going into automatic Standby mode.

Harman display Surround: This button turns the

JBL Cinema SB350’s Harman Display Surround processing On/OFF. The

Surround button indicator on the JBL Cinema SB350 turns amber when

Surround is active, and turns white when Stereo mode is active. The

HaRman Display Surround setting will produce a complete surround-sound

experience for anyone sitting in front of and several feet away from the

soundbar. although it is particularly effective when watching movies, you can

also try the HaRman Display Surround setting for music.

Stereo: Use this button to switch your system into stereo mode.

Harman Volume: The Harman Volume button on the remote

control activates Harman Volume. Harman Volume helps you keep your sound

levels consistent and reduces extreme volume transitions. These types of

transitions are typically experienced with television commercial interruption

or movie transitions between quiet dialogue and loud sound effects.

PLACING THE JBL CINEMA SB350

Placing the soundbar on a table

if your TV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on the table

directly in front of the TV stand, centered with the TV screen. as long as the

surface of the table is flat, the soundbar will rest on its metal feet.

the power button, this will deactivate the auto turn-on

feature on the analog and optical inputs.

Turning the subwoofer oN and off

Once the subwoofer and soundbar have been paired (see Pairing the Units
