QuestionI have a 1300 soundbar connected through WiFI and it works great. I’m thinking about buying a second 1300 soundbar to connect through WiFi for a different room. Is it possible to sync both soundbars together via Alexa Multi-Room Playback? Thanks
Asked 1 year ago by Zack.
- Answer Thank you for your question. Yes, our JBL Bar 1300X supports Alexa Multi-Room Music. Just ensure both Bar 1300X are set up in the JBL One App first, then create a Multi-Room Music group for the soundbar. Please refer to the Amazon Alexa app for more information.

QuestionWith the jbl sound bars with the detachable speakers, can they be detached and remain in the front of the room. I have a 85" tv and the normal sound bars seem "narrow" compared to the TV. It would be nice to have the speakers at the side of the TV.

QuestionWith the soundbar hooked to the tv can I still watch content from my pc on the tv with surround sound?
Asked 1 year ago by Jeff.
- Answer Yes, after hooking the sound bar and tv together you will now plug everything into the back of the jbl soundbar. Make sure digital audio output on the tv settings is at"passthrough" You get the audio that way. The sound bar send raw audio to the tv so the tv can encode it how its suppose to be. The sound then focuses on video and sound matching voices without a millisecond off.

QuestionMy speaker goes out every 10 mins and showed a 1, 2, 3, in a vertical pattern with a circle around it. Idk how to make this stop
Asked 1 year ago by Jess.
- Answer Not really sure? I haven't had any issues. I assume you are asking about the rear speakers? Have you tried to re-pair the speakers? Another question, how far are they from the sound bar? Did you go through the test tone process?
