Adjust settings
To adjust the settings for a Nexus Q that's already
been set up:
1. Open the Nexus Q app. OR
From the Play Music app, choose Menu >
Settings > Nexus Q Settings.
2. Touch the name of the room where the
Nexus Q is located.
The main settings screen for that Nexus Q
appears. From here, you can read version
information and modify the brightness or
theme used to animate the LED lights or TV
screen during music playback.
Touch Advanced to modify any of these settings:
• Turn HDMI or Analog ports off
or on. This can help save power if they're
connected to equipment but not in use.
You can also set the HDMI or optical
outputs to a fixed volume. For details,
see
Fixed volume output.
• Adjust delay compensation for equipment
attached to HDMI or Optical out ports. For
details, see
Audio
calibration.
• Factory data reset. Wipes all setup data
and restarts the Nexus Q. This means
you'll need to set it up all over again
from scratch.

Manual factory data reset
You can also factory reset your Nexus Q without
using your phone or tablet:
1. Unplug the Nexus Q, then plug it in again.
2. As soon as the ring LED lights up, place your
palm over the single LED on top.
The ring LED starts flashing red. Keep your
palm in place until the ring LED starts to
display a rotating blue spot (about 10 seconds).
If you lift your finger too soon, the LED turns
solid red. If this happens, unplug and plug in
the Nexus Q again to start over.
During a successful reset, the ring LED pulses
purple to indicate that it's wiping all data. Once
the reset is complete, the Nexus Q starts up
again, displaying a rotating blue spot. After a
short time, it displays a solid color to indicate
it's ready to be set up again.
Forget Nexus Q
If for any reason a Nexus Q that you've previously
set up can no longer communicate with your
phone or tablet, it's possible to "forget" it, so that it
no longer appears in the list of Nexus Q devices
(labeled by room) in the Nexus Q app.
Forgetting a Nexus Q is useful only if you know
you'll never use a particular device again. If you
later decide you want it to show up once more in
the list, you'll need to perform a factory data reset
and set it up from scratch.
To forget a Nexus Q, open the Nexus Q app, touch
the name of the device you want to forget, and
touch Menu > Forget Nexus Q.
