Bose® Soundbar 500 Details

This stylish soundbar is meant to be heard, not seen. That's why Bose® engineered custom designed drivers to keep the Bose Soundbar 500 almost impossibly thin, without taking away from the acoustic excellence Bose is known for. Measuring only two inches high, its profile fits discreetly under your TV screen, so you won't even know it's there - until you hear it.

Product Q & A

Can you mix and match the wireless bass modules and soundbars?
Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:34 AM
Answer by a Discount Golf World Expert
Yes. The Bose Soundbar 500 and Bose Soundbar 700 and the Bose Bass Module 500 and Bose Bass Module 700 all use the same wireless protocols and can be mixed and matched (e.g., a Bose Soundbar 700 wirelessly paired with a Bose Bass Module 500 or a Bose Soundbar 500 with a Bose Bass Module 700). However, the design language and materials of the Bose Soundbar 500 and Bose Soundbar 700 product lines were designed to complement the product in the same class (e.g., Bose Soundbar 500 products together and Bose Soundbar 700 products together). So the glass on the Bose Soundbar 700 products look more complementary together than if you mixed one Bose Soundbar 500 product with a Bose Soundbar 700 product.

Can I use my streaming music presets from the Bose Music app with the Bose Soundbar 500?
Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:34 AM

Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:34 AM
Can source devices, such as a cable box, iPod, gaming system, etc., be connected directly to the Bose Soundbar 500?
Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:33 AM
Answer by a Discount Golf World Expert
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.

What placement guidelines should be considered to ensure optimal audio performance from the Bose Soundbar 500?
Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:33 AM
Answer by a Discount Golf World Expert
The Bose Soundbar 500 uses the reflective surfaces of the room to deliver a spacious home theater experience. To ensure optimal audio performance, the soundbar should be placed equidistant from each side wall and directly in the front-center of the TV. No objects should be placed in front of the soundbar, nor should it be placed recessed inside a cabinet, as this would result in a limited sound stage. Also, nothing should be placed directly on either side of the Bose Soundbar 500 since there are side-firing transducers located on either side.
Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:33 AM
Does the Bose Soundbar 500 have HDMI-eARC capability?
Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:33 AM
Answer by a Discount Golf World Expert
Yes.

How do I control other devices with the Bose Soundbar remote control?
Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:32 AM
Answer by a Discount Golf World Expert
There are two ways to control other devices: HDMI-CEC and IR. The soundbars may be able to control connected devices (TV, Blu-ray Disc? player, game console) over HDMI-CEC. This allows you to turn on other devices and operate them with the soundbar remote without any programming. It also enables one-touch access to entertainment, enabling you to turn on multiple devices and select an input with one button press. However, not all devices respond to these commands. In particular, cable and satellite boxes may not respond to HDMI commands. The customer still can control devices that do not respond to HDMI commands by programming the Bose Soundbar Universal Remote which is an optional accessory for the Bose Soundbar 500.

What type of remote is included with the Bose Soundbar 500?
Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:32 AM

The Bose Soundbar 500 comes with a basic IR remote control. Line-of-sight is required between the remote and the soundbar.

Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:32 AM

How do I run the ADAPTiQ audio calibration system with the Bose Soundbar 500?
Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:31 AM

If you skip running ADAPTiQ during the initial setup process ? or change your room significantly after initially running ADAPTiQ ? you can go back into the app and do it again. Initiate ADAPTiQ and follow the prompts in the app.

How does the Bose Soundbar 500 connect to my TV?
Thursday, October 11, 2018 10:30 AM
Answer by a Discount Golf World Expert
The simplest way to connect the Bose Soundbar 500 is via the supplied HDMI cable to your TV. If your TV has an HDMI-ARC or HDMI-eARC connection, you should use that connection. If your TV does not have an HDMI connection, then you should connect the Bose Soundbar 500 to the TV using an optical cable.
