Visualizer animation is displayed by the LEDs and output through HDMI in response to the music currently playing. To change
this behavior, open the Nexus Q app, touch the name of the device, and adjust the brightness, choose a different theme, or turn off
animation.
After setup, the top LED indicates the mute state with either dimmed (muted) or regular (unmuted) animation. The ring LED also dims its
current display when muted.
