R-4B - How to Disable the Auto On/Off

Some of our soundbar models have an operation mode called "Installer Mode". Engaging this "Installer Mode" will completely disable the Auto On/Off functionality of the bar. This can be a desired feature for users who would rather manually power the soundbar on and off with each use.

Note: This Installer Mode is only functional on the first generation of the R-4B. These steps/firmware files are not compatible with the R-4B II

THESE STEPS ARE FOR THE R-4B SOUNDBAR ONLY:

There is an "Installer Mode" for the R-4B Sound Bar, but it requires a firmware update to be installed. The firmware update files are attached to this article (below).

Firmware Update Procedure:

1. Copy the Installer Mode file attached to this article to an empty USB flash drive
2. Unplug power from the soundbar
3. Insert USB drive into the back of the soundbar
4. Plug power into the soundbar
5. On the front of the soundbar, the Dolby LED will turn on
6. The other LEDs will start turning on one by one starting from the left
7. When the update is complete, the LEDs will turn off and the three LEDs on the right will turn on
8. Unplug power from the soundbar
9. Wait 5 seconds and then plug power back in

Please note: For the R-4B model, if you would like to disengage the Installer Mode, you will need to install the Stock firmware (also attached) and follow the same installation instructions as above
