QuestionUsing jbl bar 500 with bravia TV, via hdmi/earc every 30s the soundbar cuts out for 3-5 seconds. It displays "pcm" on the soundbar when sound comes back. No similar issue via optical, but using optical I can't control volume via TV remote
Asked 5 months ago by Mk.
- Answer Thank you for reaching out. To isolate the issue with your JBL Bar 500, please check the audio settings of your TV and set it to PCM or Dolby. Please ensure the HDMI cable is plugged in properly. We also recommend trying other HDMI cable to know if it is an issue with the cable. Lastly, try to do a power cycle by unpluging the TV and soundbar for at least one minute, and plug them again. If the issue remains, please contact us.

QuestionHow good is the bass sound from the sub
Asked 1 year ago by Roodee.
- Answer Excellent. When the sound profile was enhanced to accentuate to maximize the bass in my room, it resulted in a floor-vibrating experience. Normal profile is pleasantly thumpy.
