the display on the front of the soundbar is way too bright, especially in a dark room

— asked by Riley

Quick answer: The front panel LED brightness is set to high. There is no auto-dimming sensor on this model.

Diagnosis

The front panel LED brightness is set to high. There is no auto-dimming sensor on this model. The brightness level is a fixed setting.

How to Fix It

Lower the display brightness. Press the 'Gear' button on the remote once. The display will show the current setting. Press the 'Volume Down' button to cycle through the options until 'LED Dimmer' appears. Press 'Volume Up' to select it and adjust the level.

If That Didn't Work

You can turn the display off completely. Follow the same steps, but when 'LED OFF' appears on the display, press 'Volume Up' to select it. The display will only light up when you change a setting.

Heads Up

If you turn the LED off, you won't see input or volume changes. You'll have to rely on the TV's on-screen display for volume level if you have HDMI-CEC enabled.
