My use case scenario is with the Bose Soundbar 700. For a company that built its reputation on music, they sure aren't focusing on it. If I want to listen to music (as opposed to watching a movie or TV) I likely don't want the center speaker on at all. It's called stereo, not tri-aural-something or another. Ought to be a simple setting to shut the center speaker off, or better yet, there should be an option to automatically turn off the center channel when listening to a stereo-only input. Seriously, duh. Did Bose hire a bunch of video-centric audio engineers and just tell everybody else to mind their own business? One other thing. The persistent nag to rate the app is BS. It has no bearing on my review, put it is ridiculous.
