Onkyo TX-NR1000, TX-NR5000E Net Update
Updating the Firmware (TX-NR1000/5000E)
Before Updating the Firmware
The Net-Tune Firmware Updater makes use of the operation environment of the Net-Tune network, as
well as RS232 for controlling update.
You should therefore provide the network environment for the Net-Tune operation and a personal
computer equipped with an RS232 interface (serial port) along with an RS232 straight-through cable,
DB9 male to DB9 female, with male screws at both ends. See the illustration below.
You can perform an update operation using your Net-Tune server if it has an RS232 interface, without
needing any additional computer.
For information about network environment, etc., please also refer to the instruction manual for the
AV Receiver.
Remember that version updating operations for the Net-Tune firmware should be carried
out on the user’s authority.
Read carefully instructions in this manual before updating the firmware.

Workflow for Firmware Updating
1. Connect the server PC as well as the AV Receiver to your network environment using LAN
cables.
2. Connect an RS232 cable between the control PC and the AV Receiver. (The server PC may also
be used as the control PC.)
3. Install the Net-Tune Update Tool (NetUpdate) on the control PC.
4. Prepare the firmware files on the server PC, and then start the Firmware Updater.
* The Firmware Updater is a program to support firmware updating. Please keep it run until the
firmware update operation completes.
5. Start the Net-Tune Update Tool (NetUpdate) on the control PC to initiate an update operation.
6. Once the update operation is completed, exit the Net-Tune Update Tool (NetUpdate) on the
control PC.
7. Exit the Firmware Updater on the server PC.
Notes:
• If you have never used the Net-Tune Central before, please disable the Windows firewall
on the server PC.
• Do not turn off the AV Receiver or the PC while an update operation is in progress. Pay
close attention to circuit breaker tripping, power failure, battery run-out or other causes of
power interruption, which may cause damage.
• During an update operation, do not operate the AV Receiver or any external devices such
as DVD player connected to the AV Receiver.
• During an update operation, do not perform any operation that may put loads on the
network.

Connecting PC and AV Receiver
If you usually use a Net-Tune Central (server PC) in your operational environment, you do not have to
make any change to your network connection. For detailed information on network connection, refer
to the instruction manual for the AV Receiver.
Connect a straight-through cable between an RS232 (serial) port on the server PC and the RS232 port
on the upper right corner on the back of the AV Receiver: The connection is required to control the
update operation.
If you use a personal computer for control purposes aside from the server PC, connect a straightthrough cable between an RS232 (serial) port on the personal computer and the RS232 port on the
upper right corner on the back of the AV Receiver.
