Update the Firmware

Connect the USB storage device to your receiver.

Note: Make sure no other USB memory device is connected to the receiver.

Turn off the receiver by pressing the OFF button on the remote commander, or by pressing the Volume knob and selecting SOURCE OFF.

On the receiver, press the HOME button, select Settings, and then tap the General Settings icon.

At the General Settings screen, select Firmware Version.

At the Firmware Version screen, tap Update.

The update will begin and the system will automatically restart several times during the update process. This is normal. Once the For your safety screen is displayed, the firmware update is complete.

WARNING! Do not remove the USB storage device or shutdown the system before the update is complete and the For your safety screen is displayed.

Check the current firmware version to confirm that the update has successfully installed.

If the version number is 1.01.00, the firmware update was successful.

If the version number isn't 1.01.00, the update failed. Erase the update folder from the USB storage device (or use a different USB storage device), press the Reset button on the receiver then repeat the entire download and update process from the beginning.

Troubleshooting

Check that the folder named update is in the root of the USB storage device and that it contains the files CUST_P024.BIN and st24mcu.bin.

The message This data is not compatible is displayed:

The USB storage device may be defective or does not contain correct the update files. Erase the update folder from the USB storage device, or use a different USB storage device, and then repeat the entire download and update process from the beginning.
