Are these links gonna be brought back online?:dont-know:

Every time the web folks here rewrite all these links here to point at where Harman's web people have moved them, so they get brought back online from here, Harman redoes their website and breaks them all over again ...

Perhaps the webmasters here are tired of recoding 200+ links (a guess) every 6 months or so ...

MikeBrewster77 checked and found the sheets have been moved a new directory -

For instance - the link that USED to work for the Tech Sheet for the L100T used to work when it was here -
http://manuals.harman.com/JBL/HOM/Technical%20Sheet/L100t%20ts.pdf

But he found the working link would be here -

http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/L100t%20ts.pdf (http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/l46%20sigma%20ts.pdf)

So - for whatever link you find in the library here substitute the first part

http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/ (http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/l46%20sigma%20ts.pdf)
for the old one http://manuals.harman.com/JBL/HOM/Technical%20Sheet/





Looks like they changed the directory structure, and it also doesn't look like Google has indexed it yet. After a little cyber-sleuthing, here's what I came up with:

"http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/ (http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/)"

Follow that URL with the same naming convention previously used, and you eventually get there. So, for example, if I want the tech sheet for my L46's, I'd look at our reference here on the board and find out what the file used to be called. In this example, it's: l46 sigma ts.pdf

If you add the file name to the end of the URL above, then voila:

http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/l46 sigma ts.pdf (http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/l46%20sigma%20ts.pdf)

Hope that helps.

Sorry but not by us. We have the techsheets, you have to ask for the one you want.

Perhaps the webmasters here are tired of recoding 200+ links (a guess) every 6 months or so ...I hope we can redo them once and almost for all in a few months... Harman has been overhauling all of their websites... with luck they will eventually settle down and stop moving things around.

Yeah,pretty much,found some old links in forum search,and google search,that Zilch posted gave me the answers I was looking for. The link you posted will work for future reference,if needing more tech sheets. Search is our friend,but does get frustrating at times.:)

Thanks again

How 'bout this Link to JBL / Support / Find My Product (http://www.jbl.com/EN-US/Support/Pages/ProductSelector.aspx)...? Select "All Products", and cursor down, and down, and down...

I've checked a few - it's pretty clunky. I had to hit "Submit" a few times. Not good... :frantic::frantic::frantic:

Clearly, a work "in-progress". We hope...
