Hi, I’m looking into the jbl authentics 500 and in its user manual it is defined as roon ready but in the jbl list on the roon website I don’t see it among the enabled devices, who do I trust?

I’d trust the Roon page more, historically several manufacturers claimed readiness prematurely.
(E.g., they might still be working on it but had a printer deadline for the manual 
)

I am the same I am consideing the JBL Authentics 300 to use as a bit of a portable radio…it too says its Roon ready.
Can confirm the Authentics 300 is roon ready. Had been using chromecast, but just showed up as a roon ready device.
I have just bought it and it’s working with roon.
I had to follow guidelines in the roon help center to get it working as there was an issue with AirPlay apparently .
Digging out this old thread to see if anyone has some advice. I just bought a JBL Authentics 300 Radio and the JBL One app claims that the software is up-to-date. However, the radio does not show up as a Roon Ready device and from the release notes on the JBL website it looks like the software is an old one from 2023. Supposedly, software updates are pushed out automatically but in my case that does not seem to work. Is there any way to manually trigger a software update?
