3, the software upgrade content and procedures
1. U disk formatted as FAT32 format , and then upgrade the software ( software name and case is MstarUpgrade, suffix bin) put in the U disk .
There are two ways for software upgrade, recommended mode 1.
Method 1: In the case of TV normally boot, enter the factory menu upgrade: 
Power on machine, insert disk into the TV USB interface, and then enter the factory menu, move the cursor to the Other Option, Press OK to enter , and then move the cursor to Upgrade Main options , press OK to upgrade.
Method 2: Insert U disk into TV main board or programming fixture board USB interface , long press VOL + key, then power on TV ( main board ) , after about five seconds the TV ( remote control panel ) indicator fast when flashing , indicating that the TV is being upgraded , after the light is not blinking on and off ( this process is time-consuming depending on the size of the main board software , the greater the file the longer the software upgrade , the upgrade takes roughly three minutes when the board software has 270M , 500M needs four minutes ) , means upgrade is complete .
3. Notes:
a. the file name and the case cannot be wrong , otherwise it will not be upgraded .
b. When using the U disk upgrade, sometimes light will no longer flashing after a TV remote control panel lights flickering flashes ten seconds, this is upgrade failure. Normal upgrade remote panel lights flashing to be more than two minutes, in this case upgrade again by powering off main board.
c. after powering off, if main board cannot upgrade normally , programming again the boot file (Mboot.bin or MbootUprade.bin).
e. If the operator of this program is not familiar with the software, under the condition can see factory menu recommended upgrading the operating menu to enter the factory to prevent misuse.
4 When the above third step cannot be upgraded, upgrade the boot file first; 
Refer to the following specific operating instructions.
MSD6A628 Network TV main board related upgrade packages with mboot.bin and MbootUpgrade.bin equipped with two boot files. Both boot files function are the same, but there are differences between upgrade methods, only one upgrade one of them. If the current TV main board can work properly, copy the boot files to the U disk after formatted FAT32, then follow the instructions below to upgrade:
Method 1 : First MbootUpgrade.bin boot files, stored in the U disk, and then insert U disk in TV main board USB port, press and hold the VOL + button on the TV control panel and hold, then power on TV ( main board), approximately after five seconds the TV ( remote control panel ) indicator flashes rapidly , indicating that the TV is being upgraded , after the light is not blinking on and off.
