Frequently Asked Questions

1. What kind of surround sound does the JBL BAR 800MK2 provide?
The BAR 800MK2 delivers 7.1 Dolby Atmos® surround via front, up-firing and detachable rear speakers to reproduce height and surround cues. For best Atmos effect, play Atmos-encoded content from compatible streaming services or Blu-ray sources and position the detachable surrounds behind listening positions.

2. Are the rear speakers truly wireless and rechargeable?
Yes — the rear speakers are battery powered and connect wirelessly to the bar. They dock magnetically to the soundbar to recharge and store. JBL advertises about ~10 hours playback on the rear speakers, but runtime depends on volume, DSP usage and age of the battery.

3. Can I connect multiple sources and keep high-bitrate audio?
The system supports HDMI inputs (some models HDMI 2.1) and an HDMI eARC output; use eARC to pass high-bitrate Atmos/DTS:X from your TV to the bar. If you connect a source directly to the bar via HDMI (where inputs support passthrough), you can preserve native audio.

4. How do I improve dialogue clarity?
Use the PureVoice 2.0 dialogue enhancement setting and the JBL One app room calibration. Adjust EQ presets or enable dialogue-enhancement modes to prioritise vocals over heavy surround effects when needed.

5. Is the BAR 800MK2 a good fit for a small living room?
Yes — the 800MK2 is designed to deliver immersive sound in small to medium rooms while maintaining a smaller footprint than larger flagship models. If you have a very large room or want extreme headroom for parties, consider higher-end multi-sub or AVR + speaker solutions.

6. What streaming and multiroom services are supported?
The bar supports Wi-Fi streaming with Chromecast built-in, AirPlay 2, and integration with the JBL One app for Tidal/Spotify and multiroom groups with other JBL One products. Bluetooth is available for direct streaming from phones and tablets.
