  • my Onyx studio 2 will power off when I remove charging cable, is that normal?
    Yes, it will power off after removing charging cable. It is by design.
  • My product is not found during setup. How do I solve that?
    1. Ensure that your Harman Kardon One app device is less than 10m/33ft from the speaker during the initial set-up.
    2. Ensure it is plugged into power and the power LED is illuminated.
    3. Unplug the power cord, wait 10 seconds, reconnect the power cord and allow the speaker to power up.
    4. Temporarily relocate either the speaker 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 Harman Kardon ONE app installed and connected to your home network.
  • My receiver does not show "DTS HD Master Audio" in the display, even though the Blu-ray disc should have this format. Instead, it just shows "DTS".
    With some Blu-ray discs, you have to go to the Settings Menu of your Blu-ray player and select "Bitstream" or "Bitstream Native". This will carry the DTS HD Master signal to be decoded in the AVR, and the AVR front panel should show the correct text.
  • My receiver makes a clicking sound when I adjust the volume. Is this normal?
    Yes, this is a normal characteristic of this system.
  • My SB20 is in demo mode, how can i get it back to normal?
    You might accidentally pressed volume- and surround button at the same time. This combination activate a special demo mode for the product. To stop the demo mode, either perform a full reset by holding down volume+ and surround button for 5 seconds or when power is on, press volume- and surround button again for 5 seconds.
  • My subwoofer is not paired with my OMNI BAR+ anymore, how come?
    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.
  • My unit goes into standby when there is still a signal.
    Check your audio cables and make sure they are secure. Set the volume of the source device (if applicable) to a higher level.

  • One of my OMNI+ speakers keeps disconnecting from my Wi-Fi network
    - Try to disconnect some devices from your Wi-Fi network. Some routers may have weak performance, which can cause issues and poor connection to all devices in your network. - If your router supports 5Ghz ( 802.11N or AC ) and you have devices that are capable of using 5 GHz Wi-Fi then switch to that specific network for best performance. - If you have a lot of ( Legacy / older than 5 years ) devices on 2.4GHz network, try limiting them to max. 6 connected simultaneously
  • On the box of my Esquire 2 unit, it says 8 hours of playtime, will that include conference calls as well?
    Yes, the 8 hours time is for conference calls and music playback, but will of course depend on volume level and music content.
  • Pairing issues with a Computer or PC
    In most cases when a Computer/PC/Laptop has issues connecting to a Bluetooth device (Portable speaker, Headphones, Active speakers), it's caused by your Computer/PC/Laptop's Bluetooth driver (software).

    The driver (software) should support the following Bluetooth protocols, to be able to play music/sound from your Computer/PC/Laptop:

    • A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) driver for your Computer/PC/Headphones to transfer music.

    • AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) driver to send skip/forward/pause/play music to your device

    Always get the latest driver version available for your Computer/PC/Laptop.

    To download the correct driver (software), visit the manufacturer's website of your Computer/PC/Laptop. They usually have a "Support/Download" section where you can find the correct driver. Otherwise, we advise you to contact their support.
  • Pairing subwoofer or tower
    Check if the tower and subwoofer’s LEDs are in solid white color. A blinking LED means a disconnection. In this case, hold RESET on the back of the tower or subwoofer for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode. On the touchscreen, tap “Speaker Setup” > “Pairing” > “Tower Setup” or “Subwoofer pairing”, then follow the onscreen instructions to pair with the digital hub again.
