JBL Link 20 New device set up issue.

I called LVL 2 Tech support at (877) 871-6755 for my set up new device issue. The support person was very helpful and recognized this issue to be very common.

COA 1: I had already tried resetting my speaker using the pin hole button next to the USB power connector on the back. This did nothing as far as I could tell

COA 2: (Best Solution) look for the microphone on/off button under the power on/off button located on the back of the speaker. Press and hold down the microphone button for 10-13 seconds. The lights above the power button will flash a reddish color. This indicates the speaker is reset to factory settings.

Completely close Google Home app and reopen the app. You should notice some options changed. Go through the simple “setup new device” process and it should allow you to get Link 20, Google Assistant, and your home WiFi on the same page.

I am having an additional issue because I’m currently traveling and using hotel WiFi. Because of public WiFi firewalls here, Google doesn’t like it and won’t let me completely finish setup through Google Home app. Once I get home to my personal home WiFi I will complete the factory reset function again. Until then, I have great Bluetooth for music and movies while traveling.

Good luck and hope this helped.

I apologize if this question sounds offensive, but did you plug the power adapter in to an electrical outlet? When the power switch is on, do you get any LEDs or an audible thump or hiss from the subwoofer?

I have the same problem with my Creative Labs Sub-woofer, which I plan to strip and inspect, as I do electronics. I've read elsewhere that a faulty capacitor can cause this motor-boating screech. If your sub can be opened, unplug and look for bulging caps. The silver top should be flat. Rounded top usually indicates a blown cap. Meanwhile, I bought another surround setup, by Logitech.

Hi Jayne. The long-time-resetting-syndrome points, IMHO to an intermittent overloading fault causing a PTC, or resettable fuse, to become open circuit. These specialized fuses, once activated, can take minutes, days, or apparently in some cases, weeks to reset themselves. Alternatively, it could be a dry solder joint, where the lead/tin/silver resin solder did not flow properly onto the component wire. In this case, as sets warms up to a certain point, it works fine, until thermal expansion shifts the joint just enough to disconnect it. Try slapping the back of the unit if it acts up, or get it checked out. Regards, Clive.

May be the rca cable not giving it a signal.

The fuse is under an access panel. See video please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gO2eJ-j0nQ

this is all i could find at the moment about speakers not working..if this does not work go to the link i sent you.. If you are running Microsoft Windows, make sure the speaker setup is correct by following the steps below. Select Hardware and sound or just Sound in the Control Panel window. In Windows XP and older, click Manage audio devices under Sound. On the Playback tab, select your speakers and click the Configure button.26 Apr 2017

Computer speakers do not work - Computer Hope

The corrosion is probably due to humidity. The other issuses will requier it goes to the nearest JBL service center Customer Service

there could be something wrong with moisture. I had a drink spilled down the back of mine and I had to clean the board cause it kept blowing fuses.

Do you mean Flip?

Check for bad ground on input.

Any speaker, if abused, can be blown. And if overdriven with dirty power at extreme levels it is not uncommon to burn out the voice coil. You might also want to check out the speaker surrounds. If they go, the speaker works but sounds lousy. Localize the problem by hooking up two known good working speakers and see what happens. If they also do not work properly or sound like cr-p then the radio is at issue.

Since I know nothing about the radio on a Jaguar I thought I would not be able to assist on this one. However... I did find a link to the radio. http://www.the-colliers.net/docs/public/guides%20&%20manuals/Jaguar%20X-Type%202003%20Audio%20System%20Handbook.pdf Good luck. Semper Fi, Z

Sounds like the receiver is the problem.

Just search for the model of your PC on Google. You should be able to find a PDF of the manual. Plus any updates it will need. Windows 8.1 will have help built into it and tutorials to help you adjust. There will be also videos on YouTube about going from one OS to Windows 8. Plus there are books about Windows 8 called Windows 8 For Dummies. Your local library should have one.

Fuses blow when something is shorted. In this case it will be a semi-conductor of some kind. If the device uses IC for the main amplification then you are right to be worried! The 158 amp is totally unsuitable for the JBL. This is the specification of the JBL:

• Recommended Amplifier Power 10 Watt
• they are also 4 Ohm speakers.
• 158 is: Output Impedance / Channel 8 Ohm.

I am not sure what the extra lead is for. The instruction book should make it plain how it should be connected. If you have no instructions perhaps they can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website. My 5:1 speaker system is prewired and has only one audio in lead and a socket for the power supply. The audio lead of such speaker systems is generally equipped with a 3.5mm stereo jack plug intended to be used in the headphone socket of computers, tv's, radios and anything with a headphone socket, even phones. Once you are certain the speakers are properly connected they should work if there is audio present at the headphone socket of the Mac. A known pair of headphones can be used to test this and conversely the speakers could be tested by plugging them into any other known good audio source. The presence of an RCA or phono plug/lead is confusing as these aren't usually associated with active speaker systems for computer and general use but rather for more serious audio such as connections between an amplifier and peripherals or cinema surround sound. Such a system probably wouldn't be suitable for use with a computer...
