22 Appendix E: Updating the Realiser A16 firmware

Updating the firmware of your A16 is only necessary if your A16's current firmware is older than the latest downloadable version. The current
revision of your firmware is found in 'Updates/About' accessed via the 'Settings' page as described below in step 6. If an update is required,
please begin with step 1.
STEP 1. The new firmware for the Realiser A16 is uploaded through the micro-SD card slot on the front panel. First, obtain a micro-SD card
(commonly 8 or 16 GB) and ensure it is formatted as FAT32. Second, create a 'realiser' folder in the root directory and copy the firmware file
FIRMA001.SVS into the realiser folder. Insert this micro-SD card into the slot on the front of your A16.
STEP 2. Power up the A16 ensuring the power indicator LED is steady green. You can power it up using the remote control or by momentarily
depressing either User A or User B volume knobs. Now turn off the A16 by pushing in and holding in the User A volume knob for at least 3
seconds. The LCD screen will switch off and the power indicator LED will turn red. Release the User A volume knob.
STEP 3. Push in and hold in the User B volume knob and, simultaneously, push in and release the User A volume knob. Then release the User B
volume knob. The action of holding in B and depressing A activates the firmware update manager as shown below. The power indicator LED
will also be blinking green.
Firmware update manager menu.
STEP 4. Using the remote control, press the ENTER key twice to begin the firmware update. The A16 will enter a long period (30-35 minutes) of
authenticating the software, installing the software, and rebooting. When the unit first reboots it will begin updating the firmware for the
individual hardware modules (FPGA, APM Decoder etc). After the individual firmware modules have been reprogrammed the unit will reboot
using the normal power-up sequence to the Speaker Map display for User A.
STEP 5. The firmware update is now complete. To confirm the firmware update was a success please check the revision numbers displayed in
UPDATES/ABOUT accessed via the SETTINGS page. The firmware update PDF that is supplied with the firmware file will list the revisions
numbers you should expect to see.

STEP 5. Once you are happy the firmware is up to date, a full restore must be run to properly initialize new menu and Preset features First press
BACK and then navigate to 'Settings' and press ENTER.
