Precautions for the Firmware Update
Page 4
Please read the update instructions carefully before beginning.
The firmware update should take up to 30 minutes. 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 your A/V receiver is damaged for any of the reasons above, an
Onkyo service center will repair the unit for a fee.
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.
