Adjusting the System Volume

For the best sound, we recommend turning your TV’s built-in speakers off.

Consult your TV’s owner’s manual to find out how to do this. if there is no way

to turn your TV’s speakers off, you can adjust the TV’s volume so that your

JBL Cinema SB350 system will always supply most of the sound:

1. Using the volume buttons on your TV, turn its volume all the way down.

2. Use the JBL Cinema SB350’s Volume Up/Down buttons to set the sound

to a comfortable listening level. This way, your JBL Cinema SB350 system

should always be louder than your TV speakers.

IMPorTANT: If you play the JBL CINEMA SB350 at

more than 50% of max volume it will automatically reset at

50% of the max volume when it is turned off using either the

power button or the auto turn off function.

Surround Mode Button

Press the soundbar’s or remote’s Surround mode indicator to switch the

sound between normal stereo and surround sound providing 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 take advantage of the Surround setting for adding to your music-

listening experience.

Programming JBL CINEMA SB350 to

respond to Your TV remote

you can program the JBL Cinema SB350 to make it respond to your

TV remote’s power, mute, volume up and volume down commands.

This programming lets you control power and volume functions of your

JBL Cinema SB350 soundbar with your TV remote. Before beginning

to program the JBL Cinema SB350, have your TV remote in hand.
