  • Integrated Bluetooth technology: Allows you to wirelessly stream music from most Bluetooth-enabled cell phones, tablets and other devices. An on-screen display shows the Bluetooth connectivity status, current source, volume and sound mode.
  • HARMAN Display Surround technology: Creates a 3D listening environment using only 2 channels while preserving the original audio mix's timbre and balance, so you can enjoy a cinematic, virtual surround sound experience.
  • Dolby Digital decoding: Decodes film soundtracks in their native format, eliminating conversion stages that often reduce sound quality, providing an enveloping soundfield for multiple listeners.

  • Shelf-, tabletop- or wall-mountable design: Enables versatile placement options. Dual-position equalization enhances acoustic performance from any mounted location.
  • Included credit-card-size remote: Learns the IR (infrared) volume-control code of your existing TV remote, so you can control both the soundbar and your TV's volume using only 1 remote.

Q: How do you factory reset the JBL SB400?

A: Press and hold for 3 seconds Volume- and Surround buttons

Q: We have been using the JBL SB400 for 4 years with no problem. Switched it on and no sound. Everything turns on perfectly just no sound.

A: I have a Samsung tv, sometimes when turning on the tv I get no sound from the sound bar, same thing when I change its channels. I've found out you need to shut down the sound bar and turn it back on again. I use the optical output and it works 90% of the time. It's a huge pain.

Q: I have a Sony Bravia w series. It does not have HDMI (ARC). can i use one of the other HDMI connection on the Bar to connect to the TV?

A: You have three options, in order of preference. HDMI/ARC: If your TV has HDMI/ARC capability, connect this to the HDMI input on the SB and you are good to go. OPTICAL: If your TV does not have HDMI/ARC, but does have an OPTICAL audio output, use this option. ANALOG: If your TV has neither of the above, use the analog line or headphone output on your TV.

Q: I'm trying to program my directv remote to the soundbar. How can I do that?

A: You don't actually want to program your remote to control the SB400, you want to teach your SB400 the remote commands from your DirectTV remote. You see, the SB400 has a learning remote built into it. Follow these directions and you'll be all set. With the SB400 on, press and hold the Surround button until the Power button flashes amber. Then let go. 1. Press the button you want to program first on the SB400. For example, if you want to program the volume up button, press the + button once and let go. 2. You now have 5 seconds to program it with your DirectTV remote, press and release the volume up button until the SB400's Source button gets solid white for one second, then the power button will return to flashing amber . 3. You can go through the same procedure for the other buttons (Volume down,Power,Mute). 4. When you’re finished, press and hold the soundbar’s Surround button until the Power button stops flashing amber. NOTE: While the instructions state that you should be 12" from the SB400 when doing the programming, staying at a distance of 2-3 feet will likely give you better results.

Q: Accessories

A: Nothing! use the optical cable that comes with it! or use the Bluetooth or you could buy an HDMI cord but the optical cable works perfect!

Q: Can additional wireless subwoofers be connected to this unit?

A: This is a completely self-contained unit and cannot be expanded. There is no way to add a subwoofer to this system.

Q: Is it 4K compatible

A: No, this will not pass 4K signal through hdmi. They are not the 2.2 standard. However, if you use the optical cable to feed sound to the system you don't have to worry.

Q: Is it possible to connect my SB400 SoundBar to a SB450 Subwoofer?

A: No you can not, I’ve called JBL customer service tech department and told me I can achieve -
