Setup
Place the sound bar
For the best listening experience, position the
sound bar centered under your TV. You may
choose to place it either on a stand or wall
mount the speaker below the TV.
Connect the sound bar to an AC outlet
During startup, you will see multiple light shows.
When all 10 LEDs are blinking slowly, the sound bar
is ready to be set up with the Google Home app.
Place the subwoofer
For best performance place on the same wall
as the TV, no more than 30ft (10m) from the bar.
Performance Tip: placing the subwoofer in
a corner can make the bass seem even
more pronounced.

Music Mode
Music mode provides a natural and balanced sound prole with smoother bass
while minimizing home theater spatialization effects.
Movie Mode
Movie mode is optimized for both movies and TV content. It provides home theater
spatialization effects, as well as enhanced dialogue and more dynamic bass impact.
This is the default sound mode for HDMI and Optical input sources.
Night Mode
Night mode is optimal for low-volume listening. Bass and dynamic range are
reduced to improve vocal clarity. Volume indicators will illuminate in purple instead
of white to indicate the state of Night Mode. In Standby, all lights are off.
