To  update  the  firmware  of  the  AV  receiver,  you  can  choose  from  the  following  two  methods:  update  via  network,  or  

  update  via  USB  storage.  Choose  the  one  that  best  suits  your  environment.  Before  proceeding  with  the  update,   please  read  the  corresponding  explanations  carefully.  

*****IMPORTANT*****  

 

!

Update  via  network  You  will  need  a  wired  Internet  connection  to  update  the  firmware.    

!

Update  via  USB  storage  Please  prepare  a  USB  storage  device  such  as  a  USB  flash  memory  stick.  You  need  at  least  

32  MB  of  available  space  to  update  the  firmware  

 

Precautions  for  your  Firmware  Update  

   

Please  enter  [NET]  mode  before  starting  the  update.  

   

The  firmware  update  may  fail  if  an  external  HDMI  control  signal  is  input  during  the  update  procedure.  Please  be  

  sure  to  turn  off  the  HDMI  control  function  (RIHD)  on  your  A/V  receiver  before  starting  the  update.    

How  to  turn  off  RIHD:  

In  the  Main  menu  select  "Hardware  Setup",  then  "HDMI".  

Set  "  HDMI  Control  "  to  OFF  

   

-­‐  The  firmware  update  should  take  15  to  40  minutes  (depending  on  receiver  model).  Once  the  update  begins,  don't   turn  off  the  power  supply  to  the  A/V  receiver  until  it  is  time  to  restart  it  

   

-­‐  Depending  on  the  conditions  of  the  network,  a  firmware  update  via  a  network  may  take  more  than  one  hour  or   even  fail  to  finish.  If  the  update  is  not  completed  within  two  hours,  turn  off  the  power  supply  by  pushing  the  

ON/STANDBY  button  and  then  try  updating  again  from  the  beginning  

   

-­‐  Updating  the  firmware  and  adjusting  the  settings  will  be  done  automatically,  but  may  take  some  time  to  complete.  

Please  follow  the  procedures  as  instructed  when  you  update.  Note  that  the  update  may  fail,  or  cause  problems  for   your  A/V  receiver,  if  you  do  any  of  the  following:  

   

• Pull  out  the  A/V  receiver’s  power  cord;  

• Interrupt  the  power  supply  to  the  A/V  receiver  (e.g.  if  the  breaker  is  tripped  or  if  there  is  an  electrical  outage);  

• Insert  or  remove  the  LAN  cable  from  a  device  in  your  network  when  updating  over  a  network;  

• Insert  or  remove  a  USB  memory  device  from  the  A/V  receiver  when  updating  via  USB;  

 

 

• Operate  components  connected  to  the  A/V  receiver  via  HDMI,  such  as  a  TV  or  a  recording  device.  

If  you  see  "No  Update"  on  the  front  panel  immediately  after  you  have  started  the  firmware  update  process,  you   have  the  latest  firmware.  In  this  case  it  is  not  necessary  to  do  this  update.
