INTRODUCTION
Please register your product on our Web site at www.jbl.com.
Note: You'll need the product's serial number. At the same time, you can choose to be notified about our new products and/or special promotions.
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING JBL® PRODUCTS!
The BD series of home theater systems offers a complete home entertainment solution with a wealth of listening and viewing options. To get the maximum enjoyment from your new system, we urge you to read this manual thoroughly and refer back to it as you become more familiar with your new system's features and their operation.
If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact your retailer or custom installer, or visit our Web site at www.jbl.com.
VERIFY LINE VOLTAGE BEFORE USING
Your BD receiver has been designed for use with 100 – 240-volt, 50Hz/60Hz AC current and includes a detachable power cable intended for use in the region where the system is sold.
Connection to a line voltage other than that for which the unit is intended can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model or about the line voltage in your area, contact your dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
UNPACKING
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver during shipment were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or if the unit ever needs repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. You can do it by carefully slitting the tape seams on the carton's bottom and collapsing it. You can store cardboard inserts in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and other sections of the shipping-protection materials are recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center.
Remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film in place will affect the performance of your remote control.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
- To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the receiver on a firm and level surface. When placing the receiver on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the receiver.
- Provide proper space both above and below the receiver for ventilation. If the receiver will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the area. Under some circumstances, a fan may be required.
- Do not place the receiver directly on a carpeted surface.
- Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations or in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.
- Avoid moist or humid locations.
- Do not obstruct the fan vents on the rear panel or the ventilation slots on the top and sides of the receiver or place objects directly over or next to them.
- Do not place the receiver directly on top of a product that generates excessive heat.
- Due to the heat generated by the receiver, there is the remote possibility that the rubber padding on the bottom of the receiver feet may leave marks on certain wood or wood-veneer materials. Use caution when placing the receiver on soft woods or other materials that heat or heavy objects may damage. Some surface finishes may be particularly sensitive to absorbing such marks, due to a variety of factors beyond HARMAN International's control, including the nature of the finish, cleaning materials used, normal heat and vibration caused by the use of the receiver, or other factors. Your warranty will not cover this type of damage to furniture, so exercise caution in choosing an installation location for the receiver and in performing normal maintenance practices.
- Your new JBL Blu-ray Disc receiver requires a broadband Internet connection for streaming capability and BD-Live™ interactivity.
CLEANING
When the receiver gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, and only after unplugging the AC power cord, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe it dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near the receiver.
MOVING THE RECEIVER
Before moving the receiver, disconnect any interconnection cords to other components, and disconnect the receiver from its AC outlet.

Disc drawer: Insert a compatible disc into the drawer. The BD receiver's disc player will accept 5-inch (12cm) and 3-inch (8cm) discs.
Information display: Various messages appear on this display in response to commands and to show the audio/video that is playing, the BD receiver's settings or other aspects of the receiver's status as described throughout this manual.
USB port: You can use the USB port to play media files from a USB device inserted into the port. Insert the device into the USB port oriented so it fits all the way into the port. You may insert or remove the device at any time – there is no installation or ejection procedure.
You can also use the USB port to perform firmware upgrades. If an upgrade for the receiver's operating system is released in the future, you will be able to download it to the receiver using this port. Complete instructions will be provided at that time.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect a PC or other USB host/controller to this port, or you may damage both the BD receiver and the other device.
Power button:
- Press the button to toggle the receiver between the On and Standby modes. NOTE: If the receiver goes for 30 minutes without receiving an audio signal or a user command, it will automatically enter the Standby mode to conserve electrical power.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn the receiver's volume up to or past the point where the audio from the speakers becomes distorted. Doing so can damage the speakers.
RECEIVER REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
NOTE: See the Connections section, on page 10, for detailed information about making connections.
Fan vents: These vents are used by the receiver's fan to cool the unit. Maintain a clearance of at least three inches (75mm) from the nearest surface to avoid overheating the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never block the fan vents. Doing so could allow the receiver to overheat to dangerous levels.
Speaker connectors: Use the speaker wires supplied with the speakers to connect the speakers to the proper terminals.
- BD100 receivers have connections for six speakers: front left, front right, surround left, surround right, center and subwoofer.
- BD300 receivers have connections for five speakers: front left, front right, surround left, surround right and center. (The receiver also has a line-level output for the system's powered subwoofer.)
See Connections, on page 10, for more information.
Coaxial Digital Input connector: Connect the coaxial digital output of an audio-only source component here. The signal may be a Dolby® Digital bitstream, a DTS® bitstream or a standard PCM digital-audio bitstream.
NOTE: Use only one type of digital connection for each source component.
Subwoofer Output connector (BD300 receiver only): Use the supplied subwoofer LFE cable to connect this jack to the included powered subwoofer's LFE jack. See Connecting the Powered Subwoofer, on page 11, for more details about making connections.
Analog Audio Input connectors: Use these connectors to connect to an audio-only source device (such as a tape deck). Do not connect a turntable to these connectors without a phono preamp.
FM Antenna connector: Connect the supplied FM antenna to this terminal.
Optical Digital Input connectors: Connect the optical digital output of an audio-only source component here. The signal may be a Dolby Digital bitstream, a DTS bitstream or a standard PCM digital-audio bitstream.
NOTE: Use only one type of digital connection for each source component.

- Do not insert a USB memory stick or similar device into the rear-panel USB Network port. The port will work only with a USB network adapter like the one supplied with the receiver.
HDMI® Monitor Out connector: Connect the BD receiver's HDMI output to your TV's HDMI input. Since the HDMI cable transmits both video and audio to the TV, we recommend that you set the receiver's HDMI audio output to Off in the receiver's Audio menu to take full advantage of your home theater system's superior audio performance. If your TV is 3D-capable, you can watch 3D content in 3D either from the receiver's built-in disc player or from other 3D-capable source devices connected to the receiver's HDMI Input connectors (BD300 receiver only, see below).
The receiver's HDMI Monitor Out connection also contains an Audio Return Channel that carries a digital audio signal from your TV or video display back to the receiver. It allows you to listen to HDMI devices that are connected directly to your TV (such as an Internet connection) without making an additional connection from the device to the receiver. Note: You must enable your TV's Audio Return Channel output. Consult your TV's instruction manual for information.
HDMI Input connectors (BD300 receiver only): You can connect up to two additional source devices that have HDMI connectors to the BD300 receiver. The HDMI connection transmits digital audio and video signals between devices, so you do not have to make any additional audio connections for these devices. The receiver will pass 3D video signals from 3D-capable HDMI source devices to the TV via the HDMI Monitor Out connector. See Connecting Your HDMI Source Devices, on page 12, for more information.
Composite Video Output connector: If your TV does not have an HDMI connection, connect it to the BD receiver's Composite Video Output connector.
BD300 receiver only: Video signals from source devices connected to the receiver's HDMI Input connectors will not appear at the receiver's Composite Video output connection. If you are connecting HDMI sources to the receiver, you must use the receiver's HDMI Monitor Out connection.
Power Cord connector: After you have made and verified all other connections, plug the supplied AC power cord into this input and into an unswitched AC outlet.

CONNECTING THE AC POWER
The receiver comes with a detachable AC power cord. This type of cord makes it easier for you to install and connect all other system wiring to the receiver's rear panel.
NOTES:
- The power requirement for the BD100 and BD300 receivers is 100V – 240V AC, 50/60Hz, 50W. Connecting to a power source other than the one listed may damage the receiver or cause abnormal operation.
- Before connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet, confirm that you have correctly made all of the speaker connections, video connections and audio-component connections.
Connect the female end of the receiver's detachable power cord to the receiver's AC Power connector. Plug the other end into a working, unswitched AC outlet.
BD300 only: Plug the subwoofer's power cord into an active, unswitched AC wall outlet.
- If you set the subwoofer's Auto/On switch in the "Auto" position, the subwoofer will automatically turn on when it senses an audio signal at its input connection. The subwoofer will automatically enter the Standby mode approximately 20 minutes after the input signal ceases.
- If you set the Auto/On switch in the "On" position, the subwoofer will turn on when the Power switch is in the "On" position and will turn off when the Power switch is in the "Off" position.
- If you will not be using the subwoofer for an extended period of time, such as a vacation, we recommend setting the Power switch to "Off."
Press the receiver's front-panel Power button or the Power button on the remote control. The front-panel information display will display the legend "JBL." The receiver is now ready for use.
PREPARING THE REMOTE CONTROL
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
Your receiver's remote control uses AAA batteries (supplied). Insert the batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure to observe the correct polarity.
USING THE REMOTE
When using the remote, remember to aim it toward the receiver's front panel. Make sure that no objects, such as furniture, block the remote's view of the receiver. Bright lights, fluorescent lights and plasma-video displays may interfere with the function of the remote.
- The remote has a range of about 20 feet (6.1m), depending on the lighting conditions.
- You can use the remote at an angle of up to 30^ to either side of the BD receiver.
If the remote seems to operate intermittently, make sure that the batteries are inserted correctly. If the remote still operates intermittently, replace both batteries with new ones.

The Brightness, Saturation (color saturation), Hue, Contrast, Sharpness and CTI (color transient improvement) settings appear as sliders. The default setting for each adjustment is 0. Use the Cursor Left/Right buttons to change each setting's value.
- Internet Video: For viewing streaming content via the Internet.
AUDIO SETTINGS
These settings let you adjust the various parameters that control the audio output to the Cinema BD system's 5.1-channel speaker system.
Audio Output: This option lets you set the following items:
HDMI Audio Out: In addition to digital video signals, the BD receiver's HDMI Monitor Out connection also carries digital audio signals.
- PCM: This option outputs a two-channel downmix (derived from the program's native audio format) via the HDMI output.
- Off: This option turns off the receiver's HDMI audio output. We recommend selecting this option so you can take full advantage of the superior audio capability of your Cinema BD system.
Dynamic Range Control: This setting makes the loud and quiet parts of music or a movie sound closer to the same volume – a process known as compression. Compression lets you turn up the volume so you can hear the quiet parts without the loud parts disturbing other people. NOTE: This feature works only with Dolby Digital programs that have been specially encoded. Three settings are available:
- Off: This setting never applies compression. Use this setting when the volume may be as loud as you desire.
- On: This setting always applies compression. Use this setting when you want the volume to be as quiet as possible without making it difficult to hear spoken dialogue.
- Auto: This setting applies compression based on information encoded within the Dolby Digital bitstream. The receiver will selectively apply compression only during the most dynamic parts of the soundtrack.
Speaker Settings: This option lets you set the following items:
Test Tone: This setting outputs test noise through each of the loudspeaker channels in the following order: Left (L), Center (C), Right (R), Right-Surround (RS), Left-Surround (LS) and Subwoofer (SUB). Use the setting to check that each loudspeaker is connected properly to the Cinema BD receiver and to set the distances to the speakers.
IMPORTANT: If you have not yet set the speaker distances as described in the Quick-Start Guide that was included in the box with your Cinema BD system, you should use this screen to do so now.
To set the speaker distances:
- First, measure the distance from the listening position to each of your system's speakers, except the subwoofer. Write down these distances.
- Press the Enter button when the speaker you want to adjust is playing the test noise and is highlighted on the menu screen. The Level and Distance adjustment selections for that speaker will appear.
- Press the Cursor Down button to highlight Distance, and press the Enter button to select it. The speaker's distance-adjustment bars will appear. (Note: You do not need to adjust the individual speaker volume levels at this time.)
- Use the Cursor Left and Cursor Right buttons to set the distance you measured for the speaker. (The arrowheads indicate which speaker is being adjusted.) The distances are in meters. Each .3 meters equals 1 foot.
- Press the "Clear/Exit" button twice to return to the speaker-setup screen and select the next speaker distance to be adjusted.
- Repeat steps 2 - 5 for each speaker until you have adjusted the distance to all the loudspeakers in your 5.1-channel speaker system (except the subwoofer).
- After you have entered all the distances, press the "Clear/Exit" button to return to the Level screen.
NOTE: Leave all the speaker levels set at "0" for now. You will be able to adjust the individual speaker levels once your system is set up and you're playing music or films. See Adjusting Individual Speaker Volumes, on page 20.

Notes on Setting Speaker Volumes in 5.1-Channel Systems:
While setting your system's individual speaker volume levels is ultimately up to your personal taste, here are some ideas you may find helpful:
- For films and video-music programs, your overall goal should be to create an enveloping, realistic sound field that draws you into the film or music program without drawing your attention away from the action on the screen.
- For multichannel music recordings, some music producers will create a sound field that places the musicians all around you; others will create a sound field that places the musicians in front of you, with more subtle ambience in the surround speakers (as you would experience in a concert hall).
- In most 5.1-channel films, the surround channels are not intended to be as loud or as active as the front channels. Adjusting the surround speakers so they are always as loud as the front channels could make dialogue difficult to understand and will make some sound effects sound unrealistically loud.
Notes on Setting Subwoofer Volume:
- Sometimes the ideal subwoofer volume setting for music is too loud for films, while the ideal setting for films is too quiet for music. When setting the subwoofer volume, listen to both music and films with strong bass content, and find a “middle ground” volume level that works for both.
- If your subwoofer always seems too loud or too quiet, you may want to place it in a different location. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will always tend to increase its bass output, while placing it away from any walls or corners will always tend to lessen its bass output.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn the receiver's volume up to or past the point where the audio from the speakers becomes distorted. Doing so can damage the speakers.
Your receiver can decode and play audio programs in these native audio formats:
• Dolby Digital
- Dolby Digital Plus
• Dolby TrueHD
• DTS Digital
- PCM
- MP3: 32kbps – 320kbps bitrates, including variable bitrate encoding

LISTENING TO AUDIO SOURCES
Press the Source button on the remote control. The receiver will switch to the audio input that was selected last. Subsequent presses of the Source button will advance through the audio inputs in the following order: Optical, Aux, Coaxial, HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel), HDMI 1 (BD300 only) and HDMI 2 (BD300 only). The Audio Input Now Playing screen will appear on the TV.
PLAYING FILES FROM USB DEVICES AND DATA DISCS
Your Cinema BD system can play MP3 (up to 320kbps bitrate) audio files, display JPEG photos and show MPEG 2 and DivX home theater profile audio/video files stored on a USB device or a CD/DVD data disc.
IMPORTANT: Only media in the FAT32 file system are compatible with your BD receiver.
To access files on a data disc loaded in the built-in disc player or a device inserted into the receiver's USB port, press the Home button and select "Data Disc" or "USB" from the source list on the screen.
Regardless of the device's file structure, the screen will first show three individual folders named "Photo," "Music," "Video" and "AVCHD" (high-definition video files from AVCHD camcorders). Select the type of media you want to play from these folders.
The screen will then show the device's file structure. Selecting a folder will show all files of the selected type of media in the folder. If there are files of the selected type in the device's root directory, they will also be shown.
To move up one directory level, press the Cursor Left button or select the arrow.

Selecting a music file plays the file. If there are other music files in the folder that follow the selected file, the receiver will play them in the order they appear on the on-screen display. The following screen will appear while music files play:
If a selected MP3 file has an album cover-art ID3 tag, the art will be displayed on the screen.
Use the remote's Disc Transport Control buttons to control music-file playback. See Remote-Control Functions, on page 8, for more information about the functions of these buttons.
When the BD receiver is playing music files from a USB device or CD data disc, the Repeat and Options functions are slightly different from when they are playing Blu-ray Disc recordings, DVDs and music CDs:
Repeat button: Pressing this button cycles through the following repeat modes: 1 (song), All (folder), Off. The active repeat mode is indicated in the screen's top bar.
Options button: Pressing this button displays any available options for the song currently playing:
- File: Select a song to play.
- Time: Display the track's elapsed time or the track's time remaining.
- Play Mode: Plays songs in their normal order, in random order (until you press the Stop button) or in shuffle order (plays each song in the folder one time in random order, then returns to the directory).
- Bitrate: Shows the bitrate of the song currently playing.
- Advance: Performs a rapid, audible search forward through the song.
- Replay: Each press of the Enter button jumps back ten seconds during play.
While playing music files from a USB device or data CD, you can also view photos that are on the same media. Press the Home button while the music file is playing, navigate to a folder containing photo files, and select a photo file to begin a slide show.
PLAYING VIDEOS
In the top directory, select the folder labeled "Video" or the folder labeled "AVCHD." Select a folder containing video files and highlight a video file in the active folder.
The video will automatically play. If there are other video files in the folder, the Cinema BD receiver will play them in the order they appear on the on-screen menu.
Use the remote's Disc Transport Control buttons to control video-file playback. See Remote-Control Functions, on page 8, for more information about the functions of these buttons.
When the BD receiver is playing video files from a USB device or CD data disc, the Repeat and Options functions are slightly different from playing Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVDs:
Repeat button: Pressing this button cycles through the following repeat modes: 1 (current video), All (folder), Off.
Options button: Pressing this button displays any available options for the video that is currently playing: File, Title, Chapter, Time, Play Mode, Audio, Subtitle, Code Page, Bitrate, Advance and Replay.
USING PLAYLISTS
Because USB devices and CD data discs can contain large numbers of playable files, you can create a playlist for each that will make it easier for you to access selected files.
TO CREATE A PLAYLIST:
NOTE: The procedure is the same for a CD data disc playlist and a USB playlist.
- Press the Home button. The Home Menu screen will appear.
- Select CD data disc or USB. The Photo, Music and Video folders will appear.

- As you search through the directory structure, when you see a file you want to include in the playlist for that file type, highlight it and press the Options button. The playlist options box will appear.
- To add the item to the playlist, select "Add to playlist."
- Repeat Steps 4 - 5 for all items you want to add to the playlist.
To create a playlist for a different file type, repeat Steps 1 – 6, but in Step 3, select a different file type.
TO PLAY A PLAYLIST:
- Press the Home button. The Home Menu screen will appear.
- Select Playlist. The Photo/Music/Video screen will appear.
- Select the file type of the playlist you want to play. The playlist will open.
- Select the first item in the playlist and press the Play button. The playlist will play.
To repeat the playlist, press the Repeat button. You can repeat one item ("1") or the entire playlist ("All").
