SOUNDBAR PLACEMENT

RECOMMENDATIONS

For best performance, follow these recommendations when placing the soundbar:

Do NOT place any objects on top of the soundbar.

To avoid wireless interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 – 3 ft.
(0.3 – 0.9 m) away from the soundbar. Place the soundbar outside and away from
metal cabinets, other audio/video components and direct heat sources.

Place the soundbar directly below (preferred) or above your TV with the grille
facing into the room.

Place the soundbar on its rubber feet on a stable and level surface. For proper
support, both feet must be resting on the surface. Vibration can cause the
soundbar to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass or highly
polished wood.

Keep the back side of the soundbar at least 0.4 in. (1 cm) from any other surface.
Blocking the ports on this side aects acoustic performance.

Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.

For best sound quality, do NOT place the soundbar in an enclosed cabinet or
diagonally in a corner.

If placing the soundbar on a shelf or TV stand, position the front of the soundbar
as close as possible to the front edge of the shelf or TV stand for optimal
acoustic performance.

CAUTION: Do NOT place the soundbar on its front, back or top when in use.

13 | ENG

SOUNDBAR PLACEMENT

WALL MOUNT THE SOUNDBAR

You can mount the soundbar on a wall. To purchase the Bose Soundbar Wall Bracket,
contact your authorized Bose dealer.

Visit: worldwide.Bose.com/Support/SB700

CAUTION: Do NOT use any other hardware to mount the soundbar.

14 | ENG

POWER

CONNECT THE SOUNDBAR TO POWER

1. Connect the power cord to the b connector on the back of the soundbar.

2. Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC (mains) power outlet.

The soundbar powers on and the light bar glows solid amber.

NETWORK STANDBY

The soundbar transitions to network standby when audio has stopped and you have
not pressed any buttons for 20 minutes. To wake the soundbar from network standby:

Play or resume audio using your mobile device or using the Bose Music app.

Talk to Amazon Alexa.
On the remote, press the Power button I, a source button (see page 22), or

Bose Music button m then a preset button (see page 23).

NOTES: 

You can still access Alexa in network standby as long as Alexa has been
set up using the Bose Music app and the microphone is on (see page 34).

You can disable the standby timer using the Bose Music app.
