I confirm there is too much bass !

I bought mine 1 month and a half ago, it's in the bathroom so only used half an hour per day maybe and not loud at all ! Since a few days it begins to make bad cracks on each bass like if it was used full power foreurs since 5 years !

That's not a good sigb if it even can't endorse its default bass settings !

There is an undocumented feature:

Pressing down and turning left or right the button will  change the station / title,so you need not have to use the app.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm not so handy.... It works as you told us but a too long press/manipulation shuts down everything.  My lovely wife was not so happy when the TV shuts down suddenly... ๐Ÿ˜

Does it stand on a firm underground?

Took the plunge and added a M5 to my setup.

Use it on my bedside table. No other multiroom capable B& device matched the interior in the bedroom. ๐Ÿ™‚

Sound is good for the TuneIN and NAS music collection I mostly play. Have it set as "corner position"  to have the bass reduced a bit. Will try timer and wakeup to some music in the weekend ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Control require some practice. E.g double "tap" to switch source, but Iยดm sure I will get used to it.

Thanks for the advise ๐Ÿ™‚

Do I set a specific wakeup volume?

Just borrowed one from my dealer, just to check it out and see how it performs. It is for my bedroom. I must say, it sounds great, however I really really really would like to be able to change treble/bass manually, it has way to much bass, even in the corner mode.

And one thing, is it not possible to change the sound setting after it has been set up ? It is just greyed out in my beoplay app.
