JBL BAR Setup

Only Bluetooth sets up why even bother WiFi if it don’t connect waste of time

Spent hours trying to do the WiFi pairing but it simply does not pair. Connected Bluetooth, not an issue but I’m sure there are lots of settings hidden in the app which remain inaccessible to the user due to poor connectivity.

Bought the 5.1 soundbar. Was very excited to get set up. Took off work to receive this package and disappointed to find out this app will not hook up to the soundbar. Have been here two hours now. If you want to improve sales…improve quality. Really disappointed in JBL

All it does is set up the sound bar (and it’s not needed for that). Doesn’t function as a remote control. Might as well delete it from your phone when the sound bar is set up.

This is the dumbest dumb dumb that was ever so dumb. Ugh…

Omg spending weeks with this b s waste of time this app. I’m sure it could be better if it connected to the app on iPhone! Such a waste of time period. I’m a Pro audio live sound reinforcement a v specialized and I can get the app ito connect! Joke

Unable reach soundbar!

I have spent hours and hours on trying to get this soundbar to work with a TV, trying with 2 different ones. The center channel may on occasion make an appearance, otherwise you only get background sound. I tried the HDMI cable that came with it. I tried 8k certified as well as tried those that came with my Xbox X and PlayStation 5, even bought an optical cable… nothing. I also have had another JBL soundbar and it was a little better if you were willing to forget watching anything unless the bar decided it was in a good mood. Quality Control for Harmon Kardon is total garbage, both hardware and software. Just avoid any of their products except there throwaway portable speakers you can buy for $10 to $20 at discount stores, soon to appear at a Dollar Store. There soundbars should be there too since you can use them as a Bluetooth speaker… an expensive Bluetooth speaker that has to be plugged into power to work. Garbage.

It turned out there’s another application called JBL One for newer sound bars.

The app does not work to connect my new Bar 300 to my wifi. It also requires location services which is bogus. Total failure. Returning the bar. I feel bad for the seller
