Outdoor entertainment center sound

[Mark A_287]

I’m trying to get the sound output to come from the two jbl speakers of the outdoor entertainment center, but am only hearing sound from the tv speakers. This is with a 2025 ALANTE 29S. Is there supposed to be a separate jbl controller for the outside speakers?

Verify zones. Usually zone 2 is out door zone one is inside

Speakers in mine are for CD/radio and not TV. Why??

I had a similar issue and found that you have to set the TV audio to PCM out to get it to work in the builtin stereo with the TV HDMI ARC channel.

On my outdoor system, which is a Furion, my radio has to be on, and I have to select aux on the stereo to get the tv to play through the speakers.

I have the same setup. I run an rca wire from the tv speaker output to the cd/radio aux input. Select aux input on the cd/radio, then speaker output (A or B speakers). Sounds great,,,

That was the problem. The dealer failed to mention that the single JBL controller was for the indoor and outdoor sound bars. Once I found the right button to toggle between the two zones and turn them off and on, everything works.
