About the JBL Boost TV
Apartment-friendly entertainment enhancer
A quick-and-easy way to add big sound to any TV.
Apartment-friendly entertainment enhancer
Whenever I'm over at a friend's place to watch an important fight or ballgame on their massive television, I'm always a little disappointed if the sound comes up lacking. The huge picture is really cool, but I don't want to strain to hear play-by-play or background music. If you place the JBL Boost TV under the big screen, that problem is solved.
This mighty mite is one of the most compact sound bars we've seen, and adds dynamic movie and music sound to even the tightest quarters, like secondary TV setups, bedrooms, or dorms. It is so light that, on a whim, you could carry it from room to room for movie night or listening to tunes — hey, you could even take it to a friend's apartment for the big game. (Just remember, it's not battery-powered, so you'll need to bring the AC adapter, too.)
Speedy setup and switching between TV sound and Bluetooth
Sometimes in smaller places a single speaker becomes your main home theater and music system. The Boost TV is a versatile option for both. It connects to your TV with one cable to deliver clear dialogue and true-to-life effects. The system comes with its own remote, but you can also teach it the volume commands of your existing TV remote for convenient control.
You can also play music wirelessly from your phone or tablet. There's Bluetooth built-in, and you can quickly toggle between the audio from your TV or Bluetooth-enabled device.
The JBL Boost TV is only 15" wide and automatically switches between your TV and Bluetooth audio sources.
Get connected with other JBL Bluetooth speakers
Download the free JBL Connect app to your Apple® or Android™ device and wirelessly connect other JBL speakers over Bluetooth. You can send Bluetooth audio from the JBL Boost to compatible JBL devices, like the JBL Flip 3. (You have about a range of about 33 feet, line of sight.)

Features
Compact TV Speaker: The JBL Boost TV is an ultra-compact TV speaker that instantly improves your TV audio experience with surprisingly powerful, room-filling sound. Elevate your television sound experience with JBL Boost TV's deep bass, virtual surround sound and Dolby® Digital for HD movies. Its the perfect complement to your TV in the living room, den, bedroom, or kid's room.
Dual Driver & Port Design: The JBL Boost TV speaker houses two 2" full-range drivers powered by a built-in 30W amplifier for room-filling sound. It also incorporates dual side-firing bass ports to reinforce low frequencies.
Harman Display Surround + Dolby Digital Decoding: The JBL Boost TV speaker lets you enjoy virtual surround sound without adding multiple speakers. Employing proprietary Harman Display Surround technology, it creates a virtual surround-sound experience from a single speaker. The JBL Boost TV can also decode Dolby Digital soundtracks, which eliminates conversion stages that reduce sound quality.
Analog & Digital Connectivity: The JBL Boost TV features both analog (minijack) & digital (optical) inputs to connect your flat-panel TV, Blu-ray/DVD player, or satellite/cable box to the system. The optical digital input will support 2ch PCM and Dolby Digital 5.1ch audio.
Note: The digital optical output terminals of most newer flat-panel TVs only send an audio signal in 5.1ch when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from the TV's built-in tuner, network connection, or connected USB device; and will output only 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via HDMI, or RCA (like your Blue-ray/DVD player or satellite/cable box).
Bluetooth Music Streaming: The JBL Boost TV features built-in Bluetooth A2DP, which allows you to wirelessly stream audio from your Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Blackberry, laptop/computer, or other Bluetooth-enabled device to the JBL speaker system. Up to 3 device can be paired, but only one can be used at a time. Once paired, the Boost TV speaker will automatically re-connect with your device when in wireless range (up to 33'). You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device for music navigation and to view song/artist information.
JBL SoundShift Technology: JBL SoundShift Technology works with your TV and wireless mobile device at the same time to allow you to automatically switch between the sound from your TV and the sound from your smartphone or tablet.
JBL Connect Technology: Use JBL Connect to wirelessly link two JBL Connect enabled speakers, like the JBL Boost TV, together for amplified sound when streaming Bluetooth. The speakers are linked together so each speaker plays back both left and right channels for playback of the same Bluetooth audio source from two different speakers.
Remote Control: The JBL Boost TV comes with an IR remote for wireless operation of the system. The Boost TV speaker can also "learn" the IR (infrared) volume-control code of your existing TV remote control, taking away the need to keep track of yet another remote for controlling the volume on the soundbar.
