Hi Chris, Great instructions,
Very well written, Just one note though, the play 5 you describe here is the new one, the older one has a some what more rocker like play pause and vol up / down like the 1 and 3, they changed it last year for some reason, Oh and increased the price, But still great instructions.

Absolutely you can. 1. In the app, near the top of the screen, you'll find a button that is labeled with the name of the room that is currently playing. If you've grouped multiple rooms, it will be labeled with the name of all grouped rooms. For example, in my case, I hear Studio and bedroom. Double tap on this button. 2. Now, in the bottom of the screen, you'll see a button that says room settings. Double tap on this. 3. Now, find the room for the speaker you want to adjust the base and trebble. Double tap on it. 4. In this screen, you should find a few things. Trueplay, which basically calebrates the speaker via means of test tones being played. This process is 100% accessible. It didn't used to be, but I got ahold of them, and worked very very extensively with them, and though I cannot clame that it was me who made it accessible, I think I probably had a huge part to do with it. You also under here have settings for compression on or off, reducing loudness, and your base/trebble, all of which are accessible. As for volume, the play5 is a little weird. Let me try explaining this. Take your hand on the front of the speaker grill on the front face of the speaker bezil. In the top center, you're going to feel a raised engraving bit of print letters. Note, this only is applicable to the Play5. I'll explain the Play 1 and 3 in a second. OK, so get yourself oriented with that emblum. It's going to be magic key to getting this to work. On the print raised label, move your finger up from the front face bezil right to the top of the unit. Let your finger glide off the front of your unit over the top edge until it rests right on the top of the speaker right there aligned with where that printed label would be on the front speaker grill. There is a small little window there. This is a touch pannel, but don't worry. This is very very very very very easy once you know where that print label is. You're gonna use that as home base to line yourself up. There are only 3 items on this touch screen, and they are not context sensitive. They always no matter what will be the same. They never ever ever change. So... on the left side of the window is volume down. On the right side is volume up. In the very center is play/pause. So if you can take your finger on the front faced print logo, then just slide your finger up off the front, over to the top of the unit, your finger should glide right over the window on the area you need to touch. This sounds maybe a little tricky, but I swear. It's not. It's really easy. I was able in the Best Buy store to consistently get this to work the very first try. It's really really not hard once you know where that print label is, and no this little trick. The play 1 and 3's are a little different. On them, there is no touch screen. There are physical buttons. You will notice that you have a long virtical bar on the top of the speaker, just a little offset to the left from the bottom center of the top of the unit. Actually, I'm wrong, I just looked at mine. It's not offset. It's actually dead smack center. This is the volume. Obviously the bar is a rocker button. The top part will turn it up with each press, and the bottom part turns it down. Just above this is a small square button. It's about the size of the pad of your finger. This is play/pause. Two things to note. ON the Play5, in the back of the speaker, where your power cord and your line in jack and what not is, there is a small little button. This is the connect button. When connecting the speaker to your controller, you'll be asked to hit the connect button. This is the button they're talking about. On the Play1 and Play3, what you're gonna do is, you're gonna press the volume up, and the play/pause buttons at the same time, don't hold them in. Just press and release. You're not gonna hold the connect button either on the play5, just push and release, by the way. No holding necessary. You should hear then a small little chime tone through the speaker, which will indicate you did it correctly, and the controller software should then progress automatically to the next step in the setup process. One more thing. When a song is playing, on either the play1 or play 5, as well as the play 3, double pressing, or in the case of the play 5, tapping, the play pause button will advance to the next song, if anything is in the queue. The queue gets slightly more advanced, so I won't cover that here, but generally, doing this will get you to the next track. On iOS, to turn up and down the volume, near the bottom of the screen, you'll find a button that says what is playing. Double tap on this to open the now playing screen. ON this screen, you'll find an adjuster which you can flick up and down on with one finger to raise/lower the volume. HTH. Chris. --- Christopher Gilland JAWS Certified, 2016.
