Installation

PLACING THE UNIT
CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure your amplifier is disconnected from the power source.

  • Place the AVR on a level, firm surface, avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
  • Do not place the AVR on top of an amplifier or other source of heat.
  • Make sure the remote-control receiver to the left 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.

This product offers the user the option to deactivate power management functions. Note that doing this will increase energy consumption of the product.

Wiring and Connections

NETWORK CONNECTION (Applies to MA510 and MA710 only)
For a Wired Connection
Connect the Ethernet port on the back of the AVR to any of the open ports on your network router using a CAT-5e or higher cable.

For a Wi-Fi Connection:
To make a Wi-Fi connection, download the JBL PREMIUM AUDIO app to your smartphone or tablet. Links are on the front page of this manual. Connect the supplied external antennas for Bluetooth/Wireless connectivity to connectors on the rear panel.

  1. Place the external antennas for Bluetooth/wireless connectivity evenly over the screw terminal of rear.
  2. Turn clockwise until the antenna is fully connected.
  3. Rotate the antenna upwards for best reception.

Power on the AVR and open the app to discover it after the AVR is Ready. Select it and follow the prompts to connect it to your Wi-Fi network. Alternatively, you can connect the JBL AVR to your Wi-Fi network using Apple AirPlay speaker setup in the Wi-Fi settings of your Apple device.

Playback
The JBL AVR can be connected to, and play music from the following apps and services:

  • Spotify Connect
  • Tidal Connect
  • Apple AirPlay
  • Chromecast (requires acceptance of Google terms in the JBL PREMIUM AUDIO app or additional setup steps in the Google Home app)
  • Roon (requires additional setup in Roon app)
  • Works With SmartThings (requires setup with a SmartThings Hub and the SmartThings App)

From the JBL PREMIUM AUDIO app, you can access setup favorites and access other services including but not limited to:

  • Internet Radio
  • Podcasts
  • Connected USB media
  • Local network storage (UPnP)

Bluetooth Operation

Connecting your phone or tablet

  • Select the Bluetooth input on the AVR for Bluetooth pairing of a source device. Push and Hold the Input knob to initiate Pairing Mode.
  • To pair your Bluetooth source device, open the Bluetooth settings on your source device and scan for MA310/MA510/MA710 ###### from the list. Each product has a unique ID.
  • The AVR can recall 7 device pairings. If 7 are in memory already, the oldest will be replaced.
  • Because portable devices often have a volume slider. Upon pairing, there is a default volume setting in the amplifier to prevent excessive volume output being selected accidentally. The default is 20.

CONNECTING AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS

JBL recommends using pre-built or professionally wired cables.

Cables Used for Connections

WIRING OUTPUT CONNECTORS
Before making any output connections, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the amplifier and carefully review the total impedance for loudspeakers connected to each amplifier output.
JBL recommends using two-conductor or four-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire up to 12 AWG.
Speaker outputs provide connection to passive loudspeakers via binding post- type connectors that accept bare wire, spade or banana plug terminations. The connectors are grouped in pairs. Each pair consists of two wire terminations: positive (+) and negative (–)
To attach speaker cables to a binding post using bare wire, strip approximately 3/8-inch (10 mm) of insulation from the end of the positive and negative leads of the cable and insert the bare ends into the corresponding binding post connector, tightening the screw terminals to secure the termination. Repeat this procedure for each speaker.
Note: Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the bare wire touches the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each other.

Binding post termination

Connection to speaker

Connecting a subwoofer
Use a subwoofer cable to connect the subwoofer. Two subwoofers can be connected to this unit. The same signal is output from the respective subwoofer terminals.
