I have an Arc, 2 Play 1’s and a Sub Gen 2. I am upgrading to Arc Ultra and Era 300’s and keeping the Sub. I have the Era 300’s now but I’m waiting on the Arc Ultra. What is the procedure to replace the old components? Thanks.

Remove the Sub from the Arc. Remove the Surrounds from the Arc unless your intent is to use them together in another room.

Thanks MoPac. If I remove the surrounds first (Play1’s) Can I then replace them with the 300’s till the Ultra gets here? Also, can I still use the play 1’s in a different room as a stereo pair?
+18Yes. The 300s can be added once the Play Ones are removed as surrounds. Then the Play Ones can be made into a stereo pair. Hopefully all that goes smoothly.
When the Ultra arrives and you’re all set up with Sub & 300s run the Quick Tuning TruePlay as there seems to be issues with Advanced Tuning TruePlay. Make sure the microphones are on for the Ultra & the 300s prior to Quick Tuning.
You may want to listen to the Ultra all by itself first just to test the improved spatial presentation and the better lower bass.
Let us know your opinion of the Arc Ultra compared to the Arc.
