How to access Harman Kardon Invoke settings
Follow these steps:
Open Cortana and select the Devices button.
Select the Settings tab
You can now customize the Harman Kardon Invoke's few configurable options, including its name, whether or not Cortana plays a sound when you say "Hey Cortana," and set up your preferred music streaming service. You can also use this location to send feedback to Microsoft about your Harman Kardon Invoke, and even remove all the devices you have associated with your account.
