INSTALLER MODE
• The Installer Mode is a special operating mode that allows special functionality for when the Cinema 800 is
installed by a custom integrator. In Installer Mode:
• Auto-Standby is disabled for all sources except TV (HDMI-ARC). The Cinema 800 will still respond to the CEC
“Off” command from a TV.

CEC “On” command from a TV.
• Turning on and off via CEC commands may be controlled by the user in the TV menu options. This allows the
user to decide whether or not to apply CEC commands to the system when the TV source is being used.
• All other functionality is the same as standard DEFAULT MODE.
STREAMER MODE
• The Streamer Mode is a special operating mode that allows the bar to seamlessly accept and interact with
the analog output of an audio streaming device or streaming player.
• Whenever there is a signal detected on the Analog input, the Cinema 800 will switch to the Analog input.
• The default volume will be set to a fixed level on the sound bar, allowing the user to adjust the volume via
the streaming device.
• When the Analog source is selected, the Cinema 800 will not respond to “Volume Up” or “Volume Down”
commands on the sound bar or remote. The system will still respond normally to volume commands for all
other other sources.
• All other functionality is the same as standard DEFAULT MODE.
In addition to the “out-of-box” consumer operating mode (default), the Cinema Series Sound Bars feature special
operating modes to optimize the use of the bar for different installation situations. These operating modes and
their use cases are outlined below.
