Programming The Soundbar To Respond To Any Remote - JBL PSB-1 Owner's Manual

Programming the Soundbar to Respond to Any Remote

When dealing with a "fixed output only" TV, the remote must communicate directly with the soundbar (see "Volume
Control Schemes" on page 2).
Using the "IR Learning" feature, you can program the soundbar to respond to any remote's volume-related IR commands
(volume Up/Down/Mute). This allows the end user to control the entire system with a single remote—whether it's a non-
programmable remote that came with the TV or a fully programmable third-party remote.
This feature is particularly useful when dealing with non-programmable remotes (e.g. the remote that came with the TV)
which otherwise would not be able to control the soundbar.
NOTE: Some steps will time out, so we recommend reading through this entire procedure before you begin.
Required steps:
1. Ensure that the soundbar is powered on and in "Fixed Source" mode.
2. Aim the remote at the IR receiver on the front panel of the soundbar from 12-36 inches (300 – 900 mm) away.
3.
On the soundbar, press and hold all 3 buttons (Up/Down/Mute) on the top panel for 7 or more seconds. After 7
seconds, the front-panel volume indicator will flash a pattern to indicate that the soundbar is now in IR Learning
mode.
a. To program Volume Up:
i. Press and release Volume Up on the soundbar
ii. Press and release Volume Up on the remote
c. To program Volume Down:
i. Press and release Volume Down on the soundbar
ii. Press and release Volume Down on the remote
c. To program Mute:
i. Press and release Mute on the soundbar
ii. Press and release Mute on the remote
4.
To exit IR Learning mode, do one of the following:
a. On the soundbar, press and hold Volume Down and Volume Up buttons (NOT mute) on the top panel for 7
or more seconds. After 7 seconds, the front-panel volume indicator will flash.
b. Do not press any buttons on the soundbar for 30 seconds.
The remote control should now have volume control over the JBL
5.
OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED: In order to prevent end-user confusion from seeing two independent volume
indicators during volume adjustment (one indicator on the TV screen, plus another indicator on the soundbar's
front panel), we recommend doing one of the following:
a. If using a non-programmable remote that came with the TV, disable the TV's on-screen volume indication
(please consult your TV manual).
b. If using a programmable remote, ensure the remote is issuing IR volume commands NOT recognized by the
TV.
