Placing The Unit
Place the amplifier on a level, firm surface, avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
Do not place the SA550 on top of a power amplifier or other source of heat.
Do not place the amplifier in an enclosed space such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there
is good provision for ventilation. The SA550 is designed to run warm during normal operation.
Do not place any other component or item on top of the amplifier as this may obstruct airflow around
the heat-sink, causing the amplifier to run hot (the unit placed on top of the amplifier would become
hot too).
Make sure the remote-control receiver to the right of the front panel display is unobstructed,
otherwise this will impair the use of the remote-control.
Do not place your record deck on top of this unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise
generated by mains power supplies which will be heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is
too close.
The normal function of the unit may be disturbed by strong electromagnetic interference. If this
occurs, simply reset the unit with the power button, or move the unit to another location.
The SA550 is designed to run warm in
normal use, however extended use at high
volume levels can result in the amplifier
casework becoming hot to the touch.

Remote Control
Note: Incorrect use of batteries can have hazardous results. Do not mix old and new
batteries together. Do not use non-identical batteries together. Although they may look
similar, different batteries may have different voltages. Ensure the batteries are
inserted in the correct direction.
Remove batteries from equipment that is not going to be used for a month or more.
When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental or local
regulations that apply in your country or area.

Connecting Loudspeakers
Step 1, ensure power is disconnected from the amplifier.
Step 2, using speaker cables, connect the red positive terminal of the right speaker output (R+) on the
amplifier to the positive (+) terminal of your right speaker.
Step 3, connect the black negative terminal of the right speaker output (R-) on the amplifier to the negative
(-) terminal of your speaker.
Step 4, repeat the process for the left speaker, using the terminals labelled L+ and L- and on the amplifier.
Top Tips
Check all connections thoroughly. Ensure that exposed wires or cables are not touching each other
or the amplifier’s chassis (which can cause a short circuit), and that you have connected the positive
(+) and negative (–) terminals correctly. Be sure to check the wiring for both the amplifier and the
speakers.
After making connections: switch the amplifier on with no input and reduce the volume to minimum.
Select a source signal, and then slowly increase the volume to a suitable listening level to avoid loud
sounds or product damage in the event of incorrect connection.
If you are unsure as to how your system should be connected, please contact your JBL dealer who
will be happy to help you.

Bluetooth Operation
To pair your Bluetooth source device with the SA550, open the Bluetooth settings on your source device
and scan for discoverable products to pair with. Select JBL SA550 #### from the list.
By default, the amplifier can be discovered and paired to when switched on and not connected to another
Bluetooth device – it does not need to be on the BT input. This function can be overridden by changing
the BT Auto SW setting in the menu. To use the menu, see Page 13.
Note: With the BT Auto SW setting changed to Off, the amplifier must be on the
BT input to be discovered by a new device and paired for playing music.
Devices are paired to the amplifier without the sharing of a numerical code.
The amplifier can recall 5 device pairings. If 5 pairings already exist and a new pairing is made, the oldest
pairing will be replaced.
Volume Control
When playing music from Bluetooth, the volume of the amplifier can be controlled from your device.
Because portable devices often have a volume slider, there is a maximum volume setting in the amplifier to
prevent excessive volume output being selected accidentally.
Note: To adjust the maximum volume from Bluetooth, adjust the BT Volume
setting in the menu. The default is 50. To use the menu, see Page 13.
Transport Control
Use the buttons on the remote to control music playback of your device.
