BAR 1300X - What's in the Box

FAQs & How-Tos

My Soundbar is not found during setup. How do I solve that?
  1. Ensure that your JBL One app device is less than 10m/33ft from the soundbar during the initial set-up.
  2. Ensure your JBL soundbar is plugged into power and the power LED is illuminated on the BAR.
  3. Unplug the power cord, wait 10 seconds, reconnect the power cord and allow the speaker to power up.
  4. Temporarily relocate either the BAR 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.
How can I get a software update?
Once the speaker/soundbar is connected to the network, software updates will automatically be sent to the product through Wi-Fi or the internet, if available
