2. Installing Your Formation Bar

Your Formation Bar requires a mains power supply

to operate so must be located within reach of a

mains socket. If your Formation Bar is to use a wired

connection to your home network it will need to

be located within reach of an appropriate network

(Ethernet) cable.

Your Formation Bar is intended to be positioned

directly below your TV screen and can be placed on

a shelf, table or furniture unit, but can also be wall-

mounted on a dedicated wall bracket.

If you decide to place your Formation Bar on a

shelf, ensure that the shelf is easily able to support

the weight. Furthermore, Formation Bar audio

performance may be diminished if mounting furniture

or shelf panels are imsy or resonant.

Note: If your Formation Bar is to be mounted on a

wall bracket, be sure to install the bracket in line

with its included instructions. If you are unsure of

the suitability of a wall, or of your ability to install

the wall bracket, you should engage specialist

help. Stud-work and plasterboard walls are

unlikely to provide adequate strength or rigidity to

support a Formation Bar and bracket.

Connections

In addition to a mains power socket

your

Formation Bar carries an optical digital audio input

socket

for connection to a TV and an Ethernet

socket

for connection to a router should a wired

network connection be preferred to wireless (WiFi).

Note: The USB socket located on the Formation

Bar rear panel is intended for service and

diagnostic use only. It cannot be used for any

other purpose.

The Formation Bar optical digital audio input is

intended specically for the connection of an optical

digital TV audio output. Use the supplied TOSLINK

cable to connect your TV audio output to the

Formation Bar audio input. The Formation Bar will

automatically switch to its TV audio input when a

signal is present.

Your Formation Bar will automatically identify

and decode Dolby Surround encoded material

and create a surround sound experience. If a

Formation Bass subwoofer is connected in the same

Formation space as your Formation Bar it will switch

automatically to a low frequency effects (LFE) role

when Dolby Surround encoded material is identied.

Once your Formation Bar is set up, you should

switch off your TV internal speakers from the TV

audio settings menu. You may also have to enable

the digital audio output from the TV settings menu.

Switch On and Off

With all connections made, and the Bowers &

Wilkins Home app installed on your mobile device,

your Formation Bar is ready to be set up. Your

Formation Bar has no mains power switch and,

following a short start-up routine, will be operational

as soon as it is connected to mains power. It will

play an audio prompt when its startup routine is

complete.

When a Formation Bar, that has not been previously

used, is rst switched on it will automatically enter

setup mode to enable its connection to your home

network and to any other available Formation

devices. Setup mode is indicated by a slow amber

pulse illumination of the Form touch button

The Formation Bar will also appear in the Bowers

& Wilkins Home app as available for setup, either

on the initial app page, or after selecting ‘Add

Formation product’ from the app Settings page.

Your Formation Bar manages its operational state

and power consumption entirely automatically and

will switch to a power saving mode after twenty

minutes of inactivity. There is no need ever to switch

off your Formation Bar, however should you wish

to do so, simply disconnected it from mains power.

Your Formation Bar will retain its settings without

mains power.

You can restart a Formation Bar by a short press

and release of the reset button

located on its rear

panel. Pressing the button will switch the Formation

Bar off and on again. All settings will be retained

when your Formation Bar restarts. You can also

restart your Formation Bar via the Bowers & Wilkins

Home app Settings page.

If you wish to reset your Formation Bar to its default

settings, press and hold the reset button for ve

seconds. On restart, your Formation Bar will enter

setup mode. All settings will be deleted when your

Formation Bar resets. You can also reset your

Formation Bar via the Bowers & Wilkins Home app

Settings menu.

Network Setup

• With your Formation Bar in setup mode, with its

Form button

illumination pulsing slowly amber,

launch the Bowers & Wilkins Home app on your

iOS or Android device. The app will guide you with

prompts though the setup process.

Note: Formation Bar employs a Bluetooth

connection to the device running the Bowers

& Wilkins Home app during the setup process.

Bluetooth signals have a relatively short range

and can be interrupted by room boundaries, so

we recommend that your Formation Bar and

Bowers & Wilkins Home app device remain in

close proximity during the setup process.

• The Bowers & Wilkins Home app will rst search

for Formation products in setup mode and display

a screen inviting the selection of one. Tap to select

your Formation Bar. If you have already set up a

Formation product and are adding an additional

one, select ‘Add Formation product’ from the app

Settings menu.

• The Bowers & Wilkins Home app will next invite

you to name the “space” in which your Formation

Bar is to be used. A list of default space names is

provided but you can also create your own. When

you have selected, or created, a space name,

the app will ask you to touch the Form button

on the top of your Formation Bar to conrm the

selection.

• If a wireless network connection for your

Formation Bar is to be used, the next setup stage

will connect your Formation Bar to your home

WiFi network. The app will ask you to conrm

the correct WiFi network and ask you to input

its password. Alternatively, if your Formation Bar

is connected to your network router using an

Ethernet cable, this stage of the setup process will

be bypassed.

Note: If you already have other Formation

products connected to your WiFi network,

Formation Bar setup will not require you to

input the WiFi password.

• With WiFi network conguration, and space

selection complete, your Formation Bar is ready

for use. Your Formation Bar will play an audio

prompt to conrm successful setup.
