Bose SOUNDTOUCH 300 Installation guide
Can the SoundTouch 300 soundbar be wall-mounted?
Yes. The optional WB-300 wall bracket lets you mount the SoundTouch 300 flush to the wall.
How do I connect a Bluetooth device with the SoundTouch 300 soundbar using NFC?
Select the Bluetooth source on the remote (or via the app). Ensure your mobile device has NFC
turned on. Gently tap the device near the Bose logo on the top of the SoundTouch 300, and your
device will automatically pair.
How do I connect a Bluetooth device with the SoundTouch 300 soundbar without using NFC?
Press and hold the Bluetooth source button on the remote for several seconds until the light
begins to flash. Ensure your mobile device is in pairing mode and select the SoundTouch 300.
You also can pair your mobile device to the SoundTouch 300 using the SoundTouch app. In the
app, find the SoundTouch 300 in the device tray, select “explore,” and then select Bluetooth. On
your mobile device, select the SoundTouch 300.
What kind of batteries does the remote control use?
The remote uses 4 alkaline AA batteries.
How does the SoundTouch 300 soundbar connect to a TV?
The simplest way to connect the SoundTouch 300 is via an HDMI™ cable to your TV. If your
TV has an “HDMI-ARC” connection, you should use that connection. If your TV does not have
an HDMI connection, then you should connect the SoundTouch 300 to the TV using an optical
cable.
What placement guidelines should be considered to ensure optimal audio performance from the
SoundTouch 300 soundbar?
The SoundTouch 300 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 front—center of the TV. No objects should be placed on
either side of the soundbar, nor should it be placed inside a cabinet, as this would result in a
limited sound stage.
Can source devices, such as a cable box, iPod, gaming system, etc., be connected directly to the
SoundTouch 300 soundbar?
Yes. For the simplest connection, you should connect all sources to the TV, and then connect the
TV to the SoundTouch 300 via HDMI-ARC. But if your TV does not have enough open HDMI
ports, you can disconnect one source from a TV HDMI slot, then connect the SoundTouch 300 to
that open HDMI port. Then, connect that source to the soundbar and utilize the “pass-through”
capability of the SoundTouch 300.
Can I control the bass?
Yes. Bass can be controlled via the bass button on the universal IR remote control or via the settings
menu in the SoundTouch app.
Do I need a separate receiver with the SoundTouch 300 soundbar?
No. The system connects directly to your TV.
Is the SoundTouch 300 soundbar compatible with 4K video?
Yes, this system will pass through Ultra High Definition 4K video from a source device to the
TV at 60 frames per second (FPS).
Does the SoundTouch 300 soundbar have a headphone output?
No.
Can I use the SoundTouch presets with the SoundTouch 300 soundbar?
Yes, like other SoundTouch systems, the SoundTouch 300 uses presets via the SoundTouch app
and the remote control.
Does the SoundTouch 300 soundbar have Bluetooth and NFC built in?
Yes
What accessories are available for the SoundTouch 300 soundbar?
If you want to add deeper bass to your soundbar, then you can add on the optional Bose Bass
Module 700. If you want to have a more immersive surround sound experience, you can add the
optional Bose Surround Speakers. And of course, if you want the full 5.1 experience, you can
add them both
What can I do with the Bose Skill?
With Bose Skill, you can play music on your SoundTouch speakers by talking to any Alexa-
enabled device like an Amazon Echo Dot. For example, say “Alexa, play my jazz playlist in the
Kitchen,” and the playlist will begin to play on the SoundTouch speaker named “Kitchen.” You
can also control the music that’s playing—for example, say “Alexa, pause the music in the
Kitchen,” “Alexa, resume the music in the Kitchen,” “Alexa, turn up the volume in the Kitchen,”
“Alexa, skip to the next song in the Kitchen,” and so on.
Which SoundTouch products are compatible with the Bose Skill?

the Lifestyle 600 and 650 home entertainment systems) and previous SoundTouch
speakers/systems that support Bluetooth connectivity.
What music services work with the Bose Skill and SoundTouch?
The music services that currently work with Bose Skill are Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn,
SiriusXM, and iHeartRadio.
Do I always have to say a speaker name with the Bose Skill?
Yes. Alexa will not know where to direct your commands unless you include the speaker name
in your requests/commands.
Does the Bose Skill let me play music on multiple speakers at the same time?
No. There is currently no way to play music on multiple speakers using just your voice with the
Bose Skill. However, you can still create groups in the SoundTouch app as normal, even if the
music was started through the Bose Skill.
What is the Bose SoundTouch Control Skill for Alexa-enabled devices?
The Bose SoundTouch Control Skill for Alexa-enabled devices enables Bose SoundTouch
customers to control elements of the SoundTouch experience through Alexa by speaking to an
Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Tap or any Alexa-enabled device.
