Bass Boost button: Press this button to enhance the bass performance. The button’s
LED will illuminate when Bass Boost is on.
EQ button: The JBL OnBeat Venue has five equalizer (EQ) modes that adjust the tone
quality to suit different types of programs: Pop Music (default), Gaming, Movie, Rock Music
and Jazz Music, in that order. Each press of the button will advance to the next EQ mode.
The button’s LED will illuminate solid white when the EQ setting is Pop Music (default); on
all other EQ settings the button’s LED will be off.
Note: You can also change the EQ setting from a docked device that has the JBL Musicflow
app installed. The EQ settings between the app and the OnBeat Venue unit will sync so
that when you use the OnBeat Venue’s EQ button to change the EQ setting the setting in
the JBL Musicflow app will automatically change.
Source button: Press this button to cycle through the audio sources: Bluetooth, iPod/
iPhone/iPad dock and Aux Input. The input LED for the active source will illuminate.
• If you begin to stream audio from a paired Bluetooth device or play audio from a
device connected to the dock while another source is playing, the OnBeat Venue will
automatically switch to the new source.
Aux Input LED: This LED illuminates when the Aux Input is the active source.
Dock Input LED: This LED illuminates when the iPod/iPhone/iPad dock is the active
source.
Bluetooth LED: This LED flashes blue when the OnBeat Venue is in the Bluetooth pairing
mode, and turns solid blue when it has successfully paired with a Bluetooth device.
