HARDWARE FUNCTIONALITY CHECK

Before performing the update, we will first check the current setup using the existing content. Please follow the steps below:

1. HDMI Connection and Video Playback

Check whether the HDMI cable is properly connected to HDMI port 1 on the TV. Is the video playing on the TV in idle mode?

2. Check Soundbars

Ensure all four connected soundbars are powered and switched on.

3. Orange Button Control Panel

Check if the buttons on the orange control panel are slowly fading in and out.

4. Soundbar Selection and Playback

Select each of the four soundbars one by one by pressing the corresponding button. Check if:

• The matching product video starts playing on the TV.

• Audio is coming from the selected soundbar.

Note: For hardware versions A and B, audio will initially play through the TV for a few seconds before switching to the soundbar.

5. Test Volume Control

Use the volume up and down buttons on the orange control panel to test each selected soundbar. Check if the volume increases or decreases on the soundbar display, and if this matches what you hear.

6. Check Subwoofers

Verify that the associated subwoofers are also producing sound.

7. Test the Three Playback Buttons: Atmos, Movie, and Music

Press each button and check whether the appropriate content is played.

• Atmos content will only play on soundbars configured for it (see Extended Settings).

• If a soundbar is not assigned, a message will appear on screen and alternative content will play.

Once all checks have been completed and any issues resolved, proceed with replacing the soundbars if necessary.

REPLACING THE SOUNDBARS (IF NEEDED)

Dismounting and Mounting

Remove the current soundbars and install the new lineup on the POS display.

Maintain the original layout as much as possible (e.g. replace BAR1000 with BAR1000MK2, BAR800 with BAR800MK2, etc.).

✔️ Tip: Replace the soundbars one by one, per position, to avoid incorrect placement.

HDMI Cable Connection

Use the same HDMI input as the previous setup — note that this may differ depending on the hardware version:

• Hardware A → HDMI IN

• Hardware B → HDMI IN

• Hardware C → HDMI ARC/eARC

ACTIVATING DEMO MODE ON SOUNDBARS

Method 1A – using the remote control:

1. Press and hold the ATMOS button until the LED on top of the soundbar flashes purple twice.

2. Within 15 seconds, press and hold the MOMENTS (heart) button for 10 seconds.

3. “DEMO” will appear on the display, and the soundbar will automatically start in DEMO mode.

Method 1B– via soundbar:

1. Unplug the power cord from the soundbar.

2. Press and hold both Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on the soundbar while reconnecting the power cord.

3. Continue holding until “DEMO” appears on the display.

Method 2 – via soundbar:

1. Ensure the soundbar is powered on and fully booted.

2. Press and hold the Power and Volume Up buttons for at least 15 seconds.

3. On the BAR2.1MK2, “DEMO” will appear on the display; on the BAR2.0MK2, the LED bar will light up blue.

4. Unplug the power cord, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in.

PLAYER UPDATE

After downloading the correct content package and replacing and preparing the soundbars, we will now update the media player in the setup with new content.

Steps:

1. Extract the zip file. The zip file contains a folder named autoplay, which includes all the content for the update.

Copy this entire folder (including all subfiles and folders) to an empty USB stick.

Make sure to safely eject the USB stick to ensure all files have been fully copied.

2. Power on the demo setup and wait until it has fully booted. The system is ready once a video starts playing on the connected TV.

3. Insert the USB stick into the USB-A port of the 4K media player.

⚠️ Note: For hardware version A, the USB cable must first be removed from the media player.

4. After a few seconds, the automatic update process will begin. A progress bar will appear on the TV showing the status of the content file transfer.

5. After a few minutes, the update will be complete. The progress bar will disappear, and a video will start playing automatically.

6. Now remove the USB stick from the media player.

⚠️ Don’t forget this step!

Specifically for hardware version A: Reconnect the previously removed USB cable to the USB port of the media player.

7. Disconnect the power supply from the demo system by unplugging it from the outlet. Wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in.

8. The system will now reboot automatically.

9. Allow the system to fully restart. Depending on the hardware version, this may take approximately 3.5 minutes.

10. Once the buttons on the orange control panel start fading in and out again, the demo set is ready for use.

11. Now perform the hardware check again (steps 1 to 7 from “Hardware Functionality Check”) to complete the setup and ensure everything is functioning properly.

EXPERT SETTINGS

⚠️ NOTE: These adjustments require technical knowledge. Depending on the installed hardware version, either a laptop with a USB-A connector and a USB-A male to USB-A male cable, or a smartphone, is required.
