Direct Optical mode - How to

[alandbush]

Correction:
Direct optical mode is achieved using the Devialet Phantom Remote application and NOT Spark.
Once converted, the Phantom speakers can no longer be controlled by Spark.

As mentioned previously the Phantom speakers become 'dumb', only playing audio presented via optical by an outside hardware source.

Thank you. But could you please explain the procedure with the Devialet Phantom Remote current Version 1.12.1(12102)? Is it still pressing ten times on a blank space, because this does not work for me?

Then other mention pressing 5 times the power button at the back of Phantom Premier which I have not tried yet.

You are following the correct procedure for DOS 1.  However, no one, to my knowledge, has confirmed that this procedure works with DOS2.
I have no knowledge of the other procedure, other than it is incorrect for DOS1.

After posting, I, belatedly, checked the version of the Devialet Phantom Remote IOS app to discover it has not been updated for 4 years.  It is currently at version 1.0.2.

Clearly, you are using what I suppose is the DOS2 remote app. My apologies for the confusion.

When the thread was created there was only one Devialet Phantom Remote IOS app.

This app still exists in the AppStore named Devialet Phantom Remote.
It may still work with DOS2 Phantoms as may the Direct Optical mode procedure.
