What’s included

  • Connecting your soundbar or speakers, receiver and sources with HDMI and audio cabling
  • Speaker and subwoofer placement, network and streaming-app set-up
  • Surround calibration, remote and app pairing, and a working test with your TV

What’s not included

Preparation & what to expect

Have every component unboxed with its remote and cables, and know where you want the speakers to sit. If a soundbar is going on the wall, have its bracket and hardware on hand.
