Features
Soundbar Speaker System: The JBL Cinema SB100
is a complete,
integrated soundbar speaker system that dramatically improves the sound reproduction of
your flat-panel TV. Designed to complement 27" and larger flat-panel televisions, the JBL
Cinema SB 100
is ideal for people who want premium sound quality with impressive
bass performance in a nonintrusive, easy-to-install solution. The SB100
Soundbar
system features exclusive Harman Display Surround, as well as analog and optical digital audio inputs. It can mount on a
wall or sit on a shelf.
Speaker & Amplifier Section: The SB100 Soundbar houses
two 1.5" dome tweeters and dual 3" premium cone woofers powered by a 60-Watt
amplifier.
Harman Display Surround: Drawing from Harman expertise in
movie theater audio, the Cinema SB 100 lets you add cinema sound without adding
multiple speakers. Employing proprietary Harman Display Surround technology, it
creates a virtual surround-sound experience for multiple listeners from a single
soundbar.
Bass Boost: JBL is known for exceptional bass response, and
the Cinema SB 100
lets you increase low-frequency performance at the touch of a
button on the included remote. The added bass impact is ideal for movie
soundtracks.
Analog + Digital Inputs: The Cinema SB100
features both
analog (minijack) & digital (optical) inputs to connect your flat-panel TV and a
Blu-ray/DVD player, or satellite/cable box to the system. The soundbar only
supports 2-channel PCM through its optical digital input (not Dolby Digital).
Note: If your television does not support 2-channel PCM
through its optical digital output, you will need to connect the SB100 using
the analog 3.5mm stereo input.
Subwoofer Output: The Cinema SB100 soundbar speaker is
fitted with a mono-subwoofer output (with built-in fixed low-pass crossover) to
connect a separate powered subwoofer for added bass response.
Remote Control: The Cinema SB100
comes with a credit
card-sized IR remote. However, this soundbar 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.
Mounting Options: You can place the Cinema SB100
on a shelf
or tabletop, or wall-mount it with the included bracket. A dual-position
equalization feature optimizes the soundbar's performance for any location. So
you can position it where you choose without compromising sound quality.
