4. Notable Points
----------------------------------------------------------
Usability
* Volume control from laptops over USB is not supported. Must control volume on
the Vibe via remote, keypad, or RS232.
* Bluetooth Audio connections from a laptop are supported, but Bluetooth HFP (conferencing)
is not fully supported depending on the laptop hardware
* The use of external sound reinforcement speakers via AUX OUT is only recommended for
audio playback, not for audio conferencing, as it reduces the effectiveness of the AEC
* Acendo Vibe does not include 3-pin/6-pin Phoenix connectors for advanced integration
* Camera-in-use LED ring may not turn off immediately at the conclusion of a web conference
* Camera operates at 60Hz and may have lighting strobe effect in certain lighting environments
* Acendo Vibe supports only stereo sound, not surround sound audio inputs
* Small static "pop" can be heard on aux. out when cycling thru audio sources
----------------------------------------------------------
5. Programming Information
----------------------------------------------------------
Must use Acendo Vibe Configuration Tool version 1.1.6 or newer to
update firmware on Acendo Vibe to v3.1.2 or newer
* If your Acendo Vibe sound bar hardware is version 2 and firmware is legacy
version 2.x.x, then it is important to follow specific instructions for any
firmware update "Ensure that your Acendo Vibe has been unplugged for 15 minutes
to cool off and that you are using the included USB cable without extenders
before starting firmware transfer"
* Firmware upgrade may be successful, although an error may be displayed.
Please check the firmware version numbers after transfer completes to confirm
* Mac version of Config Tool does not support DSP firmware upgrade, although text dialog may
imply it does
* Do not disconnect power or USB cable when transferring firmware update, as it can
corrupt Acendo Vibe and require product service with Harman Technical Support
