Equalization (Eq); Recalibrating The Audio - Sonos PLAYBAR Product Manual

If a message appears on the television whenever you adjust the volume up and down, please see "Eliminating annoying
messages on your TV when using a cable, satellite, or set top box remote" on page 26 or "Eliminating annoying messages on
your TV when using a universal remote" on page 27.

Equalization (EQ)

During the PLAYBAR setup process you were guided through the audio calibration process. If desired, you can change the
sound settings (bass, treble or loudness) for the Sonos PLAYBAR. Bass boosts lower frequencies, treble boosts higher
frequencies, while loudness boosts certain frequencies, including bass, to improve the sound at low volume.
Any manual EQ changes you make will be reset whenever you go through the audio recalibration process (see page 11 for
more information).
