Possible Problem

There is no power to the unit.

Solution

Make sure the wall power outlet or power strip has power; make sure all switches for the outlet/power strip are on and that all switches for the speaker system are on. Ensure that the auxiliary cable is properly connected to an external audio device. Turn up the volume. Check the system with a known good source. Connect the Aux In cable to the headphone jack on your audio device.
Is the LED on? If the LED is not on, power is not getting to your JBL On Tour XTB system. Try the solutions shown.
The source selection is incorrect.
The source device is not capable of sending music via Bluetooth technology. Sound comes from only one side/ channel. There is distortion (static, crackling or hissing sounds). The audio cable is not seated properly.
Replace the source device with a Bluetooth wireless technology enabled source device. Make sure the Aux In cable is seated all the way into the JBL On Tour XTB system. Turn the monitor or other device off to see whether the noise is eliminated. Move the JBL On Tour XTB cables farther away from the monitor or other device. Ensure that the JBL On Tour XTB system is connected to an appropriate source device. Make sure that all signal cables are inserted snugly into receptacles. If you want to use a longer cable, make sure its a 3.5mm mini-jack stereo male-to-male cable.

Turn both the JBL On Tour XTB unit and the source device both off and on to reset them. Some source devices have known functional issues with the JBL On Tour XTB system.

Check the EQ setting on your source device. Your JBL On Tour XTB speaker emits a loud hum or buzzing noise. The speaker experiences radio frequency interference or picks up a radio station. When streaming music using Bluetooth technology, the sound from the JBL On Tour XTB speaker lacks stereo quality. The input cable is not plugged in properly. The input cable may be picking up interference. There is a Bluetooth compatibility issue between the JBL On Tour XTB unit and the source device.
