Notes: For the sake of simplicity, throughout this manual we have
used the term “source” when describing connections and operation.
This would apply to any device such as an A/V receiver, audio
component, computer or portable music player.
The JBL On Air may be connected to your source in several ways.
First, determine how you would like to use the JBL On Air
Control 2.4G AW; then follow the setup instructions for that
application.

Application 1
Adding surround speakers to a home theater system:
Determine if your source contains preamp outputs for rear/surround

receiver labeled as “surround preout” (please refer to your source’s
owner’s manual to confirm whether it includes the preamp outputs).
If your receiver includes these outputs, follow the steps below.
If not, connection is not recommended.
NOTE: Make sure power is turned off on all components.
Step 1.
Connect the interconnect cable (included) to the left and right
surround/rear preamp outputs on the back of your source and the
input on the transmitter module
