Introduction Introduction Thank you for choosing this JBL Professional product. The JBL® Professional SoundBar PSB-1 is designed specifically for hotels and cruise ships in need of a simple, reliable, and low-cost audio upgrade for guestroom televisions. With an application-specific feature set built on a foundation of legendary JBL sound, the JBL® Professional SoundBar PSB-1 is designed to please not only hospitality guests, but also technical AV staff and hospitality business owners.
Volume Control Schemes Volume Control Schemes The JBL® Professional SoundBar PSB-1 is designed to connect to the line-level, stereo, analog output of a TV. Many TVs offer an analog output, only a subset of TV’s allow their analog output to send a signal whose volume level tracks with the volume adjustments being made to the TV. This feature is commonly known as “variable output.
Volume Control Schemes INTEGRATION WITH A FIXED OUTPUT TV If your TV does not support variable audio output, we recommend using the soundbar as follows: 1. Program the remote's volume buttons to control the soundbar. 2. On the back of the soundbar, select "Fixed Source". 3. Within the TV's on-screen menu, make one simple change: a.
Basic Connectors and Indicators Basic Connectors and Indicators ANALOG INPUT Connect this jack to the line-level, stereo, analog output jack of your TV using the included RCA cable. If your TV has a 3.5mm analog output jack, then use the included RCA-to3.5mm adapter. Longer cables can be used if needed, however we do not recommend using unbalanced cables longer than 10 feet due to the likelihood of added noise.
Installer Settings Installer Settings This section contains advanced settings intended only for the installer. Once the appropriate settings are chosen, the Rear Security Plate (included) can be installed with a screw (included) to prevent end-users from tampering with these critical settings. SOURCE VOLUME SWITCH This 2-position switch allows the installer to select the desired volume control scheme (see "Volume Control Schemes" on page 2).
Installer Settings VOLUME SWITCH This 4-position switch allows the installer to place an upper limit on the loudness of the soundbar. This is helpful, for example, to reduce sound transfer between adjacent rooms in a hotel with thin walls.
Top Panel / Remote Control Top Panel / Remote Control PSB-1 Top Panel Remote Control When the soundbar is set to “Fixed Source” (variable soundbar) mode, these buttons allow the end user to control the internal volume of the soundbar—either from the top panel or from a remote. NOTE 1: While similar in certain ways, these volume buttons differ significantly from the “Volume” switch on the rear of the device.
Front-Panel Front-Panel VOLUME INDICATION When the soundbar is set to “Fixed Source” (variable soundbar) mode, these 10 LEDs indicate the volume setting on the soundbar. When the soundbar is set to “Variable Source” (fixed soundbar) mode, these 10 LEDs are irrelevant and therefore will not illuminate.
Programming the Soundbar to Respond to Any Remote Programming the Soundbar to Respond to Any Remote When dealing with a “fixed output only” TV, the remote must communicate directly with the soundbar (see "Volume Control Schemes" on page 2). Using the “IR Learning” feature, you can program the soundbar to respond to any remote’s volume-related IR commands (volume Up/Down/Mute).
Programming the Soundbar to Respond to Any Remote To reset the IR Learning settings back to factory default, use the following sequence: 1. Press and release Volume Up + Volume Down. 2. Press and release Mute. 3. Repeat the above two steps 4 more (i.e. 5 total) times. In other words, follow these ten steps: 1. Press and release Volume Up + Volume Down. 2. Press and release Mute. 3. Press and release Volume Up + Volume Down. 4. Press and release Mute. 5.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting PROBLEM "The soundbar is not producing sound." SOLUTION Ensure the soundbar is connected to a properly functioning power outlet. When connected to power, a front panel LED will turn either amber or green. If the LED does not illuminate, there is a fault with the power outlet, the power cord, or the soundbar unit itself. If the front panel LED illuminates amber, this means the device is in standby mode.
