Important Information
About LSR4300 Firmware
When using speakers and subwoofers in a system, the version of firmware
installed in all units must be the same. LSR4328P, LSR4326P speakers produced
after October 2006 and, and LSR4312SP Subwoofers ship with version 2.0 or
later installed. LSR4326P and LSR4328P speakers produced before October 2006
ship with firmware version 1.1 installed and to use these speakers with a
subwoofer or recently produced LSR4300 speakers, the firmware must be updated.
A firmware update application, the required files, and installation procedures
are provided on a CD-ROM supplied with the subwoofer also in new LSR4300
Accessory Kits and also are available for download at
www.jblpro.com/lsr. For specific information
about the features of the specific firmware version, read the Firmware Version
Read Me file associated with the firmware.
To determine if the firmware in associated LSR4300 speakers requires an
update, determine the firmware version currently installed in each speaker
using this procedure:
-
Remove the power cord from the loudspeaker.
-
Reconnect the power cord to the loudspeaker.
-
Following a brief (2-second) start-up sequence, the front panel display will freeze for approximately 5 seconds with all buttons illuminated and the firmware version displayed on the level meter. The firmware version should be read as follows:
-
The number of green LEDs to the left of the -15dB mark indicates the 1’s digit of the firmware version.
The number of yellow LEDs to the right of the -15 dB mark indicates the 1/10ths digit of the firmware version. -
For example. Firmware v1.1 will be displayed as follows:
-
Firmware v2.2 will be displayed as follows:
If your Studio Monitors have firmware version 1.1 installed, use the firmware
update application to update each Studio Monitor to version 2.0 or later.
Before proceeding, read the READ-ME file associated with the firmware files.
Copy the contents of the CD to a Macintosh computer with OS10.3 operating
system (or later) or a PC with Windows 2000, XP operating system (or later) .
Click on the Flash Update application for Mac or Windows and follow the
prompts.
