Attention: Your JBL CINEMA SB450 comes with subwoofer
already paired from the factory, please refer to the subwoofer
connection section of this owner’s manual only if you are
experiencing no audio output from your subwoofer after
connecting it to the power.
Wireless Pairing: Press this button to initiate wireless pairing
between the subwoofer and the soundbar. The LED lights
white continuously when the subwoofer is on and linked to the
soundbar. The LED slowly flashes white when the subwoofer is
on and the wireless link is not established between the subwoofer
and the soundbar. The LED rapidly flashes white during the
wireless pairing process.
Phase Control: This switch determines whether the subwoofer
driver’s piston-like action moves in and out in phase with the
speakers in the soundbar. If the subwoofer were to play out of
phase with the soundbar speakers, some of the sound waves
produced by the subwoofer or soundbar could be canceled,
reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon
depends in part on the relative placement of the speakers in
the room. See the “Subwoofer Phase Switch” section for more
information.
Crossover: This knob adjusts the subwoofer’s cutoff between
40Hz and 200Hz.The higher you set the Cutoff control, the higher
in frequency the subwoofer will operate and the more its bass will
“overlap” that of the soundbar. This adjustment helps achieve a
smooth transition of bass frequencies between the subwoofer
and the soundbar for a variety of different rooms and subwoofer
locations. See the “Subwoofer Crossover Control” section for
more information.
Power Cord Connector Connect the included power cord here
and into an active, unswitched AC outlet. See Power Connections
for more information.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the power cord to an
AC outlet until you have made and verified all other
connections.
SOUNDBAR PLACEMENT
PLACING THE SOUNDBAR ON A TABLE
If your TV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on
the table directly in front of the TV stand, centered with the TV
screen. As long as the surface of the table is flat, the soundbar will
rest on its metal feet. Set the soundbar’s EQ switch in the “Table”
position. See Soundbar Rear-Panel Controls and Connections.
WALL-MOUNTING THE SOUNDBAR
If your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-
mount bracket to mount the soundbar on the wall directly below
the TV screen.
1. Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall. Make
sure that the top of the soundbar will not block your view of
the TV screen when it is mounted on the wall.
2. Hold the bracket against the wall as a template and mark the
locations of the soundbar wall-mount bracket holes on the
wall. The three holes should be evenly spaced 7-1/16” (18cm)
apart, and the bracket slots are designed to accept 4mm
screws. Make sure that the holes are at the same height. See
the illustration below.
Mark Three Bracket Hole Locations
7-1/16" (18cm) Apart
3. Making sure that the bracket’s flat side is against the wall,
attach the wall-mount bracket to the wall at the locations
you marked, using hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s
construction and materials. Note that the soundbar weighs
7.5 lb (3.4kg). Be sure to use hardware that can support this
weight.
After reading the Connections section, connect all cables to the
soundbar.

6
IMPORTANT: Do not plug the soundbar’s power cord into
an AC outlet at this time.
4. Set the soundbar’s EQ switch in the “Wall” position.
5. Attach the soundbar to the bracket by sliding the bracket’s
upper tabs into the slots on the back of the soundbar. The
soundbar’s slots allow you to adjust the soundbar’s angle on
the wall to ensure that it is level.
Insert Tabs on Bracket
into Grooves in Soundbar
6. After reading the Connections section, connect all cables to
the soundbar.
SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT
1
2
3
The performance of a subwoofer is directly related to its placement
in the listening room and its physical position relative to the other
speakers in the system. For example, placing it in a corner (1)
generally will maximize the amount of bass in the room. In many
rooms, placing the subwoofer along the same plane as the
soundbar (2) can produce the best integration between the sound
of the subwoofer and that of the soundbar. In some rooms, the
best performance could even result from placing the subwoofer
behind the listening position (3). We strongly recommend that you
experiment with placement before choosing a final location for
your subwoofer.
CONNECTIONS
SOUNDBAR AUDIO/VIDEO CONNECTIONS
HDMI ARC TV Out: If your TV has an HDMI input, use the
included HDMI cable to connect it to the soundbar’s HDMI ARC
TV Out connection. The soundbar will pass video from source
devices to the TV. If your TV is equipped with the HDMI Audio
Return Channel (ARC) Function, you can feed its sound to the
soundbar via the HDMI ARC TV Out connection, and it will not
require additional audio connections to the soundbar. The ARC
signal is active when the HDMI TV source is selected.

HDMI In 1/2/3: If any of your source devices have HDMI
connectors, connect them to the soundbar’s HDMI In 1/2/3
connectors for the best possible video and audio performance
quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both digital video and digital
audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio
connections for source devices you connect via HDMI connectors.
NOTE: The JBL CINEMA SB450 supports HDCP 2.2
on all its HDMI inputs and output, meaning that you
can connect directly any 4K ultra HD source to your
soundbar. Please refer to your television owner’s manual
to ensure that it is also supports HDCP 2.2 as otherwise
any 4K content with HDCP 2.2 copy protected content
will automatically be downscaled to full HD on your
television even if it is 4k compatible.
Aux In and Optical In connections: If your TV and source
devices do not have HDMI connections, you can use the supplied
audio cable and optical cable to connect your TV and one source
device to the soundbar’s Aux In and Optical In connectors,
respectively.
NOTE: The Optical Input does not support all digital
audio and surround sound formats. If the optical input
receives an unsupported audio format, there may be
a sound dropout. The HDMI Input will automatically
detect and resolve unsupported audio formats. If you
experience sound dropouts with the optical connection,
it is recommended to change the audio output format on
the source device to PCM or use an HDMI connection
from your source to the soundbar.

SUBWOOFER CROSSOVER CONTROL
The subwoofer’s Crossover control adjusts the subwoofer’s cutoff
between 40Hz and 200Hz. The higher you set the Crossover
control, the higher in frequency the subwoofer will operate and the
more its bass will “overlap” that of the soundbar. This adjustment
helps achieve a smooth transition of bass frequencies between the
subwoofer and the soundbar for a variety of different rooms and
subwoofer locations. To set the Crossover control, listen for the
smoothness of the bass. If the bass seems too strong at certain
frequencies, try a lower Crossover control setting. If the bass
seems too weak at certain frequencies, try a higher Crossover
control setting.
CROSSOVER
SUBWOOFER PHASE SWITCH
This switch determines whether the subwoofer’s piston-like action
moves in and out in phase with the speakers in the soundbar.
If the subwoofer were to play out of phase with the soundbar
speakers, some of the sound waves produced by the soundbar
and subwoofer could be canceled out at some frequencies,
reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon
depends in part on the relative placement of the soundbar and
subwoofer in the room. Although there is no absolutely correct
setting for the Phase switch, in most cases it should be left in
the “0°” position. When the subwoofer is properly in phase with
the soundbar speakers, the sound will be clearer and have more
impact. It will make percussive sounds like drums, piano and
plucked strings sound more lifelike. The best way to set the Phase
switch is to listen to music that you are familiar with and adjust the
switch so that drums and other percussive sounds have maximum
impact.
PHASE
USING YOUR OWN TV REMOTE (TV REMOTE
CONTROL LEARNING)
If you are using an HDMI ARC connection to your television, then
your TV remote control will automatically operate the soundbar
for standard commands such as power on/off and volume
control. The JBL CINEMA SB450 supports HDMI CEC and will
interoperate with compatible TV’s (check your TV owner’s manual
for HDMI CEC compatibility)
If your TV does not support HDMI CEC volume and power control
another option is to program the soundbar to be controlled by
your TV remote control. For example, when you press POWER
ON, you will turn on your TV and soundbar at the same time. This
simplifies your system helps you keep your TV and speaker in
sync.
