KevinB Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The latest firmware update provides two new modes but I can find no information about them. Does anyone know what they do?

When volume is set to minimum, sub volume now mutes. Content continues playing after Bluetooth connection is made from device to soundbar. BT switches input when coming from other audio input after BT connection is made from device to soundbar. Sub Volume Increase/Decrease LED indication improved on bar Can power off soundbar when HDMI content playing with button on soundbar or remote. Installer Mode Added External Player Mode Added Various Bug Fixes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMnoise Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I do know that "Installer" mode disables the AUTO on feature and enables the always on mode (so it does not power off after no audio signal is detected). Not sure about external player mode... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abel Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Yes i would also like to know how to enable or disable this feature, I hate when the bar 'sleeps' and doesnt turn back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleG Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I have to hold down the Power button for 3-5 seconds, then the BAR 48 turns on (this works on the remote and on the BAR 48). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2mian Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 1. How to check if the "Installer Mode" function is enabled? 2. I understand that to turn it on "ON / OFF" button for 3 to 5 seconds, and to turn it off should you do the same again? 3. Did I understand correctly that this feature causes that there are no problems turning on the soundbar after prolonged non-use? 4. Does this function need to be activated each time or is it enough once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point I asked Klipsch to provide some documentation but I never got a response. My BAR 48 died a couple of years ago. I've moved on. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
