Precautions for the Firmware Update

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.
How to upgrade the firmware via Network:
1. If the unit is connected via LAN and there is firmware update available, the
"Firmware Update Available" message may appear. To execute updating, select
"Update Now" with the cursor buttons of the remote controller and press
ENTER. The unit automatically turns itself into standby mode about 30 minutes
after "Completed!" appears on the display, and updating will be complete.
2. Alternatively, to force an update, select “SETUP” on the front panel, then scroll
and select “8.Misc”, “F/W Update” “Update Via NET” and press
ENTER.
● If "Firmware Update" is grayed out and cannot be selected, wait for a
while until it starts up.
● You will not be able to select "Update via NET" if there is
nothing to update.
3. Press ENTER with "Update" selected to start update.
● During the update, the TV screen may go black depending on the
updated program. In that case, check the progress on the display of the
unit. The TV screen may remain black until the update is complete and the
power is turned on again.
● "Completed!" is displayed when the update is complete.
4. Press ON/STANDBY on the main unit to turn the unit into standby mode.
The process is completed and your firmware is updated to the latest version.
● Do not use RECEIVER on the remote controller.
