The simplest way to connect the Soundbar is via the supplied HDMI cable to your TV. If your TV has an HDMI-eARC connection, you should use that connection to get the benefit from Dolby Atmos encoded content. If your TV does not have an HDMI connection, then you should connect the Soundbar to the TV using the optical cable (also supplied with the Soundbar).

No. All sources must be connected to the TV and then a single connection (via the HDMI or optical cable) must be made from the TV to the soundbar.

Press the Bluetooth source button on the remote control. The light bar on the soundbar pulses blue. Ensure your mobile device is in pairing mode and select the Bose Smart Soundbar 900 from the list. You also can pair your mobile device to the soundbar using the Bose Music app.

Your Bose smart soundbar will sound great in almost any environment. But to get the best possible performance, be sure you do not put it in an enclosed/recessed cabinet or cover the side or upward-firing transducers.

Yes. You can group any of our smart speakers and soundbars together for multi-room listening using the Bose Music app. This way, you can fill your whole home with music — either synchronized or different music in different rooms.

Yes. The Bose Soundbar Wall Bracket (sold separately) lets you mount the soundbar to the wall.

ADAPTiQ is part of the overall setup process and is driven through the Bose Music app. You will be prompted to run ADAPTiQ after you download the Bose Music app and start the setup process. If you skip running ADAPTiQ during the initial setup process — or change your room significantly or add bass module(s) or surround speakers after initially running ADAPTiQ — you can go back into the app and do it again. Initiate ADAPTiQ and follow the prompts in the app.

Yes. It can be controlled by third-party remote controls that include the set of Bose commands. 

No. However, using SimpleSync™ technology you can wirelessly connect our most popular Bose headphones with the soundbar using a Bluetooth connection. This connection can be set up through the Bose Music app. For the full list of compatible headphones, see the Using groups article on our Support site.

Yes. The Bose Soundbar 900 uses presets via the Bose Music app and the remote control.

Yes. Bass can be controlled in the Bose Music app. 

Yes. The Bose Smart Soundbar 900 and the Bose Bass Modules all use the same wireless protocols and can be mixed and matched. However, the design language and materials of the Smart Soundbar 900 and the Bass Module 700 are designed to complement each other. When connecting two bass modules to the Smart Soundbar 900, they must be of the same type.

Yes. The Bose Surround Speakers connect wirelessly to the Bose Smart Soundbar 900, Bose Smart Soundbar 300, Bose Smart Soundbar 700, or the Bose Soundbar 500 — so no wires are required from the front of the room to the rear. But the Bose Surround Speakers do require electrical power to power the wireless receiver and there is a speaker wire connecting the wireless receiver to the speaker itself.

No. The Bose Surround Speakers can only be connected wirelessly.

The Bose Surround Speakers are intended for use in the same room as the Bose Smart Soundbar 900, Bose Smart Soundbar 300, Bose Smart Soundbar 700, or the Bose Soundbar 500, and have a range of about 30 ft.

We recommend placing the speakers behind the main listening area — one on the left side and one on the right of the room — for optimum sound quality.

Yes. If for some reason a wired connection is preferred, the Bose Bass Module 700 can be hardwired together using the Bose Bass Module Connection Cable.

For best sound quality, the Bose Bass Module 700 should be placed on the floor against the same wall as the television and soundbar, with an electrical outlet nearby for the power cord. The bass module should not be placed on a shelf or table. For more bass, the bass module should be placed closer to walls and corners. For less bass, the bass module should be pulled away from walls and corners.
