This firmware update changes the way Bluetooth works on the SA1, allowing Bluetooth pairing only when the amplifier is set to the Bluetooth input, regardless of whether it is on or in standby mode.
For a smooth update procedure, please follow the steps outlined below:
Safety First: Always make sure that the amplifier is disconnected from the mains before starting the update process.
1. Connection:
- Use a USB A-A cable to connect your Windows PC to the SA1.
2. Initial Setup:
- While pressing and holding the volume knob on the SA1 amplifier's front, plug in its power cable.
- Release the volume knob once connected.
3. File Management:
- The amplifier will now be recognized as an external USB drive on your PC.
- Remove the existing .bin firmware file.
- Transfer the new .bin firmware file. (Note: Transfer only the .bin file, not folders or other files.)
4. Rebooting the Amplifier:
- Turn off the SA1 amplifier by disconnecting the power and USB cables.
- Wait for about 15 seconds, or until the blue light on the amplifier turns off, signifying the power supply has discharged.
- Reconnect the power cable.
5. Resetting:
- Turn on the amplifier and switch to the BT input.
- Press and hold the volume button for approximately 8-10 seconds. Release when one of the input selector LEDs starts flashing rapidly in blue.
6. Confirmation:
- The first blue LED will flash slowly, indicating the BT pairing mode. At this point, your update is successfully completed.
After the update, you have to pair and then unpair with your phone again. With this firmware update, it will now only be possible to pair when the amplifier is on the Bluetooth input - no matter if it's switched on or off.
