PREPARATION OF THE MEMORY DEVICE FOR SOFTWARE UPGRADE

1. A personal computer with web browsing capability.
2.  An archive utility that supports the ZIP-format (e.g. Winzip for Windows)
3. A CompactFlash PC Card Adapter (Type II)
4. A CompactFlash (Type I) portable memory card for insertion into the PC Card Adapter. Philips recommends using Compact Flash (CF) portable memory cards with their respective PC Card Adapters (Sandisk or Kingston) with memory sizes of up to 256MB. Philips does not guarantee that other types of portable memory cards and their respective PC Card Adapters, including multi-card PC Card Adapters work on Philips Digital TV.  Note: Only FAT16-formatted portable memory is supported. NTFS & FAT32 are not supported.

COPYING SOFTWARE IMAGE FILES TO THE FLASH DRIVE

Copy the appropriate “FCL.img” and “IBOZ.img” to the root directory of the flash device.

VERIFYING CURRENT VERSION OF THE TV SOFTWARE

• Before start the software upgrade procedure, it is advised to check what the current TV software is. The current TV software version can be seen in the “System software” menu.

1. First press the “A/D” key and then the “DIGITAL MENU” key on the remote controller to access the “Setup” menu.
2. Access the “Information” menu.
3. Access the “Current software version” menu.

Example

The menu shows “IdtvZapper_HW260.256_SW2.0.24”. This means that the hardware version is “260.256” and the software version is “2.0.24"

SOFTWARE UPGRADE PROCESS

1. Power ON your TV with the power switch at the side of the TV. Put your TV ON by using the remote controller if the TV is in Stand-by.
2. Make sure that it is in “Digital” mode (via “A/D” button).
3. Make sure that your TV is not in Stand-by. Power OFF TV with the power switch of the TV.
4. Remove the Conditional Access Module (if any) from the CI-slot.
5. Insert the PC Card Adapter with the portable memory card containing the software upgrade files.
6. Switch ON your TV with the power switch at the side of the TV.
7. At start-up, the TV will scan the CI slot until it finds the update content. The TV will automatically go to the upgrade mode. After a few seconds it will display the status of the upgrade procedure.

NB:  Do NOT remove the memory card or the PC card adapter during the software upgrade procedure.   In case of a power drop during the upgrade procedure, don’t remove the portable memory from the TV. The TV will continue the upgrade as soon as the power comes back.

EXAMPLE:

At start-up of the TV, the current software is erased.

If the erasure is successful, the programming will start.

The programming is completed when the progress bar reaches the 100% mark.  The TV will reset and the screen will go blank, after a few seconds a dialogue box will occur to inform you that the current module inserted in the CI slot is not recognized. This is normal as the slot only recognizes a Conditional Access Module during normal operation.

The following dialogue box will appear after the TV is upgraded successfully.

When the software upgrade has been successful, switch OFF the TV, remove the PC Card Adapter, and restart the TV with the Power switch at the side of the TV.  The TV will now start up with the new software.

VERIFYING THAT THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPGRADED SUCCESSFULLY

Verify that the software is upgraded to the new version by following the procedure outlined in the section “Verifying the current version of the TV software"
