Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the system is connected via HDMI to an ARC/eARC-enabled port on your television for the highest signal quality. Download the BRAVIA Connect app on your smartphone; this app acts as the primary interface for the Sound Field Optimisation process. During calibration, ensure your room is quiet so the internal microphones can accurately map your environment. For care, keep the speaker grilles free of dust using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid placing objects directly in front of the units to ensure the spatial audio reflections are not obstructed. The system supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, allowing for easy streaming from mobile devices when not in use for home cinema purposes.
