RETROSUN Replacement Remote for JBL BAR1300 BAR1000 BAR800

RETROSUN replacement remote control for JBL 5.1.2 Bar 1300X provides full button-by-button operation and plug-and-play convenience for compatible BAR1300, BAR1000, and BAR800 sound bars.

If your original JBL soundbar handset is lost, damaged, or unresponsive, this RETROSUN remote offers a straightforward replacement without programming or complex setup. Built from durable ABS with an updated smart chip, the remote is engineered to deliver fast, reliable responses across typical living-room distances and angles. It matches the layout of the factory remote so you can control power, volume, input selection, and sound modes immediately after inserting two AAA batteries.

Will this remote work with my JBL BAR1300, BAR1000, or BAR800 sound bar?

Yes—this handset is compatible with the JBL 5.1.2 Bar 1300X and compatible BAR1300, BAR1000, and BAR800 models, provided your original remote matches the pictured design. Check the button arrangement and infrared receiver location on your soundbar before ordering to ensure a correct match.

• Direct button mapping to power, input, Bluetooth, and preset sound modes
• Infrared control—no pairing required
• Works immediately after inserting 2 × 1.5V AAA batteries

How easy is it to set up and use daily?

Setup is immediate: open the battery compartment, insert two AAA alkaline cells, and the remote operates out of the box—no programming, apps, or pairing steps are needed. The ergonomic curved shape and tactile buttons reduce hand fatigue, making repeated use comfortable.

• Plug-and-play operation—no syncing or codes
• 120-degree wide-angle IR coverage for flexible aiming

What performance and build features does this replacement offer?

RETROSUN engineered this replacement with impact-resistant ABS and a modern control chip for quick, accurate button response. The remote supports effective IR range up to about 8 meters (26 feet) while the wide-angle design reduces the need for precise aiming.

• Durable ABS housing for everyday knocks and drops
• Reliable 8m/26ft operating range with 120° coverage
• Responsive buttons tuned for long life and consistent feedback

What comes in the box and are there any exclusions?

• Included: 1 × RETROSUN replacement remote control
• Not included: Batteries and printed user manual (digital instructions typically suffice)
• Note: Confirm visual match with your original remote before purchase
