When connected properly, the top LED on the front of the active
speaker should be green. When first plugged in, it will sometimes
take several seconds for the Control 2.4G active speaker to initialize
and "wake up." Once the top LED is green, the bottom LED should
flash green until the transmitter and active speaker "lock in." It will
then also light in solid green. This LED will light in orange if the local
input on the active speaker is selected (see Page 8 under Local Input
for more details).
Connection Option B
Connecting using the 1/8-inch single-pin stereo jack on your source:
Note: Make sure power is turned off on all components.
Step 1. Connect the RCA – 1/8-inch mini-jack cable (included) to the
preamp out, line out or headphone output of your portable audio
player and the inputs on the transmitter module , as shown in
Figure 5.

Step 2. Place the active speaker in the desired location in your home
near an AC outlet, as it needs to plug into the wall.
Step 3. Connect the speaker wire (included) to the push terminals
on the active speaker and the push terminals on the rear of
the passive speaker , as shown in Figure 3. Please note that the
speaker wire supplied features a polarity stripe to help distinguish
its two conductors. Use this polarity stripe to ensure that you are
connecting the positive (+) terminal on one speaker to the positive (+)
terminal on the other, and the negative (–) to the negative (–).
It does not matter whether you use the striped conductor for
connecting the positive (+) terminals or the negative (–) terminals.

Step 4. Plug the transmitter module and active speaker into the
wall outlet, using the correct power supply and power cord. Make
sure the transmitter's antenna is extended upward.
Make sure the ID code setting on the transmitter is set to the
same setting as that on the active speaker . See Page 8 of this
manual for more information on ID codes. When connected properly,
the top LED on the front of the active speaker should be green. When
first plugged in, it will sometimes take several seconds for the Control
2.4G active speaker to initialize and "wake up". Once the top LED is
green, the bottom LED should flash green until the transmitter and
active speaker "lock in". It will then also light in solid green. This LED
will light in orange if the local input on the active speaker is selected
(see Page 8 under Local Input for more details).
OPERATION
Adjusting the Volume
Application 1
Adding surround speakers to a home theater system:
In this application, the output level of your Control 2.4G active
speakers will not only be dependent on the volume setting of your
and before use in order to be able to work correctly with the other
speakers in your multichannel surround system. To adjust the
control about a third of the way up, and activate the speaker-level-
adjustment test tone. Make sure that the Control 2.4G transmitter and
speakers are on, both of its speakers are connected, and there is RF
lock (i.e., lower LED on active speaker is solid green). Leaving the
Control 2.4G's volume setting in its default (power up) condition, use
the receiver's set-up level adjustments to set the level of the Control
2.4G to properly balance their volume with the other speakers in the
system.
Application 2
Adding speakers to remote locations around your home:
Depending on the type of connection and the specific source that
you are using, the volume setting on your receiver may affect the
sound output level of your Control 2.4G. To check whether the
output from your source is volume-dependent, turn the volume level
on your receiver to approximately half-way. Turn on your Control
2.4G transmitter and active speaker. Once the lower LED on the
active speaker lights in solid green, indicating that RF lock has been
achieved, verify that there is sound output from the active speaker.
Then increase and decrease the volume control on your receiver
and observe whether this affects the sound output from your active
speakers. If it does not, then the volume control on your source unit
can be set at any position that you may desire as it does not affect the
performance of Control 2.4G. If changing the volume setting on your
source does affect the output from Control 2.4G, then you will need to
always keep your source's volume control at about half-way up with
up when using a computer, and at maximum if using a portable audio
device. From this point on, you will use the remote control included
with the JBL On Air Control 2.4G wireless speaker system to adjust
the volume and .
Local Input
The JBL On Air Control 2.4G wireless speaker system also includes a
local input on the rear of the active speaker. This input allows you
to hook up a portable audio player directly to the speaker wherever
you may happen to be. For example, you could have the system
connected to your receiver as described in Application 2, listening to
a local FM station and then hook up your portable music player to the
local input and switch between the two different sources.
To connect portable audio player to the active speaker, simply
connect the preamp out, line out or headphone jack to the line-in
on the rear of the active speaker using a 1/8-inch mini-jack –
1/8-inch mini-jack cable (not included).
To switch between the two sources, push the input button on the
remote control.
ID Code
In the unlikely event that you experience interference when
operating the system, or if you have more than one set of Control 2.4G
transmitters and receivers in operation, you may change the channel
in which the system operates. On the transmitter module and the
active speaker, there is a four-position "ID Code" selector. Simply set
the selectors to one of the other positions. The transmitter and active
speaker must be set to the same position in order for the system to
function correctly. You can also set up a maximum of two pairs of
speakers to be receiving from the same transmitter by setting the
channel selector on the transmitter and both of the active speakers
to the same channel. Please note that the two active speakers need
to be at least 10m (33 feet) apart, or reception and operating range in
one or both units may be degraded.

Subwoofer Output
The JBL On Air Control 2.4G wireless speaker system includes a
subwoofer output on the rear of the active speaker. This output
allows you to feed the low-frequency sounds to a separate powered
subwoofer. A powered subwoofer will deliver deeper bass response
than is possible with speakers alone.
To connect a powered subwoofer to the active speaker, simply
connect the subout on the active speaker to the line-in on the
rear of the powered subwoofer using a 1/8-inch stereo mini-jack –
dual-RCA cable (not included*). Please note that this output is full
range and not filtered or low-passed. Make sure that your powered
subwoofer features a low-pass crossover network and that this
crossover is indeed selected. Do not use the LFE input on a powered
subwoofer as it is not filtered and you will be hearing a lot of
undesirable higher frequency information from your subwoofer.
* Only one stereo mini-jack/dual RCA cable is included with the
system. If you are following Application 2, Connection Option B, you
will need to purchase this cable.
A Word About Wireless Products
The JBL On Air Control 2.4G wireless speaker system utilizes
advanced wireless transceivers operating in the 2.4GHz frequency

home networks and high-quality cordless phones. It allows for the
transmission of high-performance, full-spectrum sound to remote
locations, wirelessly.
Like all wireless devices, the JBL On Air Control 2.4G wireless
speaker's operating range may vary depending upon variables
such as building construction methods and materials, atmospheric
conditions and other sources of interference. Please consult your
JBL dealer or distributor or visit us at www.jbl.com for further
information or assistance.Adjustable wall brackets are included for
the two speakers and transmitter module. The included bracket are
for wall-mounting only.
It is not to be used for ceiling mounting. Ceiling mounting of the
Control 2.4G AW transmitter and/or speakers is not recommended,
regardless of bracket used.
