Before you start

• Remove any interference that might be blocking the Soundbar side-firing speakers.
• Any ambient noise or sounds that could disrupt the calibration needs to be out of the room.
• In case you are moving the Enchant Soundbar you will need to calibrate the sound again.
• If something went wrong, you can always delete the calibration settings by resetting the system.
  • Press and hold button and  button down for 5 seconds.
  • This will delete all settings, including the Wi-Fi connection.

How to use the MultiBeam feature

1. Press and hold the CALIBRATION button for 3 seconds.
   1. On the Enchant display a timer will start counting down from 3 to 0 (Once hitting 0 the Calibration will begin).

2. The calibration takes around 60 seconds before it is complete. While calibrating you will hear some noises coming from the speaker.
3. When finished the display on the Enchant Soundbar will say "DONE"

 

Make sure you disable AP/Client isolation on your Access Point / Extender and that Multicast forwarding is not disabled between the W-Fi networks. However, we cannot guarantee than streaming will work flawless as Extender networks are tricky and can cause many issues. Always use a 5GHz Wi-Fi network extender for best results.

If you are having problems playing music after setting up a new speaker (no matter what connection is used, Ethernet, Wi-Fi), please restart the Harman Kardon Controller app after the speaker setup is complete.

Some third-party apps do not support volume changing when your smart device is in lock screen mode.

If you are experience this message, please power cycle the Wi-Fi router and speaker(s). Disconnect the devices' power cable for 10 seconds and then reconnect them. Once the router and speaker(s) completely boots up, please try to setup again.

This feature is not yet implemented in our Harman Kardon Allure or Allure portable speaker. Future updates might include this option, so we advise keeping an eye on the release notes in the HK Alexa Setup app about possible future firmware updates.

Unfortunately, some Huawei phones are not able to stream music from the HK Controller app to 1st generation Omni speakers. However, the new Omni 10+, 20+, and 50+ have fixed this issue, and you will be able to stream music to them using your Huawei phone.

It is not possible to use the speaker while installing it to your WiFi network. Once you have successfully connected to the WiFi network, you can use Bluetooth and AUX again.

Make sure that both speakers are using the same network technology, either Ethernet or WiFi. Mixing them will increase music loading time.

DVD and Blu-ray Disc copy protection only allows analog video output up to 576p resolution when playing DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. To view video at higher resolutions use the AVR’s HDMI inputs and HDMI output instead of its component video inputs and output.

Please make sure that if you use 5GHz or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, all your speakers are connected to either 2.4GHz or all are connected to 5GHz Wi-Fi to have the best performance.

Make sure your WiFi extender's name is not the same as that of your main WiFi network. Please use 5 GHz WiFi extenders only for best performance.

Yes, Alexa has various voice commands to turn up the volume. Try saying "Alexa, turn it up" or "Alexa, set volume to 5".

The OMNI BAR+ as standalone system is 2.1, however when using it in a 5.1 wireless surround system, it generates a virtual acoustic center speaker to complete the 5.1 Surround system. In that combination it will be a 3.1 system.

No. The Dual Wireless Sound featured in the Onyx Studio 5 only gives you the capability to connect to a second Onyx Studio 5. It is not possible to connect the Onyx Studio 3 and 5 together. The Onyx Studio 5 can only be connected to no more than one other Onyx Studio 5.

It would depend where you buy it from. If you bought it in Germany, it will speak German from the start and if you bought it from USA or UK it will speak English. The langauge of the speaker can be changed in our HK Alexa setup app. Go to Settings, Device, Language and select your preferred language.

The Checklist

Let us walk-through a list of things needed to ensure every requirement is met.

1. Check your mobile device if that is able to connect to same Wireless network.
2. Make sure you are within range of your Wireless router.
3. Check the Wireless signal on your mobile device, does it have a weak signal then move closer to the router.
4. Try both Wireless network bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz in case one of them are failing.
   1. You will have longer range with 2.4GHz, but less performance and most of the times a crowded network (many devices are using 2.4GHz band).
   2. You will have less interference with 5GHz and higher performance, however, the range of the 5GHz network has shorter range.
5. Try using a different mobile device, if you have one.
6. Reboot your Wireless network router and your mobile device.

Wireless Network Extender

Some houses or apartments can be too big for one Wireless network router to cover it all.
Let's talk about the issues that might appear with an Extender network.

1. Network Extenders that will help cover poor signal in your home, often results in poor connection and low speed performance.
2. Often the Network Extender is a low budget device or not suited for having too many devices attached to it.
3. Placement of the speaker is crucial as you can put it in a place where it could connect to either main Wireless router or the Extender, that will confuse Wireless network devices.
4. To solve this issue, try move the speaker closer to main router or have fewer devices attached to your Wireless Extender.
5. In addition, always use 5GHz connection between your Network extender and main router (best solution and performance).

One Wireless Network Name (SSID)

1. You may have set the Wireless Network SSID (Wi-Fi network name) to one big Wireless network (With a main router + Extender(s).
2. If the JBL LINK device is within range of both Wireless networks (Main router & Extender) then it can get confused with which one to connect to.
3. To solve this issue, using two different name for your extended network will help with the performance of the JBL LINK Speaker and Google Assistant request.

The speaker is IPX5 certified, it can withstand direct splashes from any direction for up to 3 minutes. Although a little snow or rain won't hurt it, we do not recommend keeping the speaker outside during rain and/or snow. Also be aware of extreme hot or cold temperatures, they may be damaging.

If your Wi-Fi network name has special characters, such as (, `, \, ', ", or ), then please change the name of your Wi-Fi network, as these characters are not supported. After changing the name, you can go ahead and setup the speaker to your Wi-Fi network.

Dual band routers that have 2.4 and 5 GHz connection bands. If devices connect on different bands, they cannot see one another. Please make sure your phone and speakers are both connected to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz and that there is no AP isolation activated between them.

One explanation can be that your OMNI 50+ is part of a 5.1 system with your Omni Bar, which will make the surround OMNI 50+ left and right rear speakers act as "secondary", and Bluetooth connection is not possible to secondary speakers. To use the OMNI 50+ as a portable speaker again, simply perform a reset of the speaker by pressing the reset button for 5 seconds. Please note that after resetting your OMNI 50+, it is no longer part of the 5.1 wireless system.

Do not worry, pairing both devices is easy and quick. Press the "pairing" button on the back of the Omni Bar, then press "pairing" button on the subwoofer. They will start communicating with each other, and when both devices show white light in the LED on the back, that indicates that they are paired.
