Sonos PLAYBAR Owner's Manual

Product Guide

Select the menu option that controls your television’s audio functions. 

Select the appropriate setting to turn off your TV speakers. Depending on your TV make and model, choices may include: 

• Off / On 

• External Speaker / Television Speaker

The choice in bold will turn the TV speakers off.

• If none of these are applicable to your television, look for a setting that switches your TV output between variable and 

fixed and try switching the setting.

You should make every effort to turn off your TV’s internal speakers. However some brands, including Toshiba and Dynex, 
may not include this setting. If you are unable to turn off the TV speakers, follow the steps below. 

Using the volume control buttons on your television, turn the TV volume all the way down. Do not use the Mute button.

From this point forward use only the volume buttons on your Sonos controller to adjust the PLAYBAR’s volume.

Note: This menu selection is most often labeled Audio, Sound, Tools, or Options or may 
display as a musical note icon.
