You're ready to start streaming with that premium room-filling sound and dynamic bass. But first, whether you're a Roku veteran or a streaming rookie, you're going to want to get familiar with the five Roku Smart Soundbar features listed below to get the most out of your new device. Speech Clarity: Crisp, clear dialogue This feature is perfect for those scenes with lots of extracurricular activity going on, like explosions or other background noise. When Speech Clarity is enabled on your Smart Soundbar, it helps you better hear critical dialogue by boosting the volume of voices without needing to adjust the volume. To enable the feature on your Roku Smart Soundbar, simply start playback, press the * button on your Roku remote, select sound settings, and use the d-pad to switch Speech Clarity on. Automatic Volume Leveling: Quiet loud commercials Ever been streaming late at night, only to have a louder-than-normal commercial seemingly come out of nowhere? Enter Automatic Volume Leveling. This feature allows you to hear more consistent audio levels across different type of entertainment, making it less jarring when you switch channels or a commercial comes on. To enable Automatic Volume Leveling, start playback, press the * button on your Roku remote, select sound settings, and set your volume mode to "Leveling." This functionality on Smart Soundbar allows you to stream music, podcasts, or other audio from a connected Bluetooth device. Before you can start streaming Bluetooth audio, you need to pair your smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth device to your Roku Smart Soundbar. To do so, go to settings on the Roku Home Screen, select Remotes & devices, pair new device and select Bluetooth, or simply hold down the Home button on your remote for 5 seconds to bring up the pairing screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup flow. Once your device is paired (which you typically only have to do once) simply connect to your Roku Smart Soundbar using your device's Bluetooth controls. Your Roku Smart Soundbar comes with a remote equipped with TV power and volume controls and Roku Voice that allows you to search and control your device. Just press and hold down the microphone button and say commands like "show me action movies," or "launch The Roku Channel." You can also use Roku Voice for tasks like turning the TV screen on or off, turning captions on, and playing your favorite music channels. If you don't already have the Roku mobile app for iOS and Android, you're going to want to head over to your respective app store and download it right now. Many users utilize the app as a second remote, but it also turns your mobile device into a control center for your Roku Smart Soundbar by enabling Roku Voice, private listening, and functioning as an on-screen keyboard. Additionally, it allows you to watch The Roku Channel on the go, cast photos and videos to your TV, and more. You're all set. Now go enjoy your Roku Smart Soundbar! By the way, if you're looking to expand the audio of your Roku Smart Soundbar with some heart-pounding bass, be sure to check out the new Roku Wireless Subwoofer. Happy Streaming!
