Setting Up and Using Heos App in Demo Mode - A Beginner's Guide

====================================================================================

The Denon Heos system offers an impressive wireless/streaming audio experience for music lovers who want seamless control over their speakers from anywhere within range. However, getting started can be somewhat daunting, especially if you're new to this concept.

In this article, we'll walk through the process of setting up your Heos 1 HS2 speaker(s) and explore some common issues that may arise during initial configuration - specifically focusing on how to resolve an issue where multiple speakers are not grouping together when using demo mode.

Prerequisites

---------

Before diving into the setup instructions, ensure you have:

* One or more Denon Heos 1 HS2 speakers (or any other compatible model)

* A smartphone and/or tablet running iOS 10.3+ / Android 5.0+

* An active internet connection for initial setup

* The latest version of the HEOS app installed on all devices

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

---------------------

### Step 1: Physical Connection

1. Connect your Heos speaker(s) to a power outlet and turn them on.

2. Press and hold the 'Heos' button located at the top until it starts flashing blue.

### Step 3: Initial Wireless Setup via HEOS App

1. Download and install the latest version of the HEOS app from either Apple's App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play store (for Android).

2. Launch the HEOS app on your smartphone or tablet.

3. Tap 'Set up new speaker(s)' and follow the in-app instructions to complete the initial setup process.

### Step 4: Configuring Demo Mode

1. Once you've successfully connected all speakers, tap on the three dots (⋯) at the top-right corner of the HEOS app's main screen.

2. Tap 'Settings' from the dropdown menu that appears.

3. Scroll down until you find the section labeled as 'System Settings'.

4. Look for an option called 'Demo Mode'. Toggle this switch ON to enable demo mode.

### Step 5: Grouping Multiple Speakers

1. With all speakers connected and in Demo Mode, tap on the three dots (⋯) at the top-right corner of the HEOS app's main screen.

2. Tap 'Rooms' from the dropdown menu that appears.

3. Select or long-press on a room name to access its settings.

### Step 6: Automatic Grouping

Unfortunately, as per current limitations in Demo Mode (and even regular mode), there is no built-in feature within the HEOS app that allows for automatic grouping of speakers based on reaching an established limit of devices. This means you'll need to manually add or remove speakers from each room whenever necessary.

### Speakers Not Grouping

If your Heos speaker(s) are not automatically forming a group despite following all the above steps:

1. Ensure that all speakers are connected to the same network.

2. Check if any of the HEOS app's cache or storage is full - try restarting both your device and/or unpairing/repairing the speaker from within the app.

3. If none of these troubleshooting tips resolve the issue, consider visiting Denon's official support forums for further assistance.

With this comprehensive guide to setting up and using HEOS speakers in demo mode (with some caveats regarding automatic grouping), you should now be well-equipped to enjoy an immersive audio experience throughout your home. Remember that while Demo Mode offers many of the features found in regular mode, there may still be certain limitations or omissions - so don't hesitate to reach out if you encounter any further issues!
