PHILIPS 32PFL4606 _ 40PFL4606 _ SOFTWARE UPGRADE



SOFTWARE UPGRADE

It is possible for the user to upgrade the main software via the USB port. This allows replacement of a software image in a stand alone set. A description on how to upgrade the main software can be found in the DFU or on the Philips website.

MAIN SOFTWARE UPGRADE PROCEDURE
In “normal” conditions, so when there is no major problem with the TV, the main software and the default software upgrade application can be upgraded with the “autorun.upg” (FUS part in the one-zip file). This can also be done by the consumers themselves, but they will have to get their software from the commercial Philips website or via the Software Update Assistant in the user menu. The “autorun.upg” file must be placed in the root of your USB stick.

HOW TO UPGRADE
  • Copy the “autorun.upg” file to the root of an USB stick.
  • Insert the USB stick in the side I/O while the set is “on”.

The TV will prompt an upgrade message. Press “Update” to continue, after which the upgrading process will start. As soon as the programming is finished, the set must be restarted.
In the “Setup” menu you can check if the latest software is running.
