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.
• Set the soundbar’s EQ switch in the “Wall” position, and set the
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.
• Placing the subwoofer along the same plane as the soundbase – position
(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.

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.
• Set the soundbar’s EQ switch in the “Table” position. Refer EQ switch on
page 6 for more information.
NoTE:
If the JBL CINEMA SB350 is put in standby using
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
for Wireless Operation, below) the subwoofer will turn on when the soundbar
turns on and will remain on for approximately one minute after the soundbar
enters the Standby mode, or for approximately 10 minutes after the audio
signal ceases.
