help JBL Bar 500 FAQ
What audio formats and power does the JBL Bar 500 support?

Does the JBL Bar 500 include a wireless subwoofer?
Yes. The package includes a wireless subwoofer that supplies the low bass missing from a soundbar alone. It does not include detachable rear speakers, so a JBL Bar 9.1 or Bar 1300 is a different type of surround package. [JBL](https://www.jbl.com/BAR-500-.html?bvstate=pg%3A2%2Fct%3Ar&ged=off)
What does PureVoice do on the JBL Bar 500?
PureVoice is JBL's voice-clarity feature, designed to keep speech understandable when music and effects become loud. It is especially relevant for dialogue-heavy television and films, although it does not turn the bar into a separate center-speaker system.

Will the JBL Bar 500 work with a 4K Dolby Vision television?
Yes. JBL lists HDMI eARC and 4K Dolby Vision passthrough on the Bar 500. To receive uncompressed Dolby Atmos, the television or source device also needs a compatible HDMI eARC connection and suitable audio settings. [JBL](https://www.jbl.com/BAR-500-.html?bvstate=pg%3A2%2Fct%3Ar&ged=off)
