The AV receiver allows you to update the firmware using a USB device.

Note

•Never unplug or turn off the AV receiver during the update process.

•Never plug or unplug an HDMI cable or a USB device during the update process.

•Never unplug the USB storage device containing the firmware file or the AC power cord during the update process.

•Do not attempt to access the AV receiver from your PC while it is being updated.

•It takes about 30 minutes to complete the firmware update.

•The AV receiver will retain all your settings after the update is finished.

Before you start

•Set the “HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)” setting to “Off” (➔ page 48).

•Turn off the controller device connected via Ethernet cable.

•Turn off Zone 2.

•Stop playback of contents from Internet Radio, iPod/iPhone, USB or servers, etc.

•If there is any data in the USB device, remove it first.

Update procedure

1	Connect a USB device to your PC. If there is any
	data in the USB device, remove it first.
2	Download the firmware file from the Onkyo web
	site. The file name is as follows:
	ONKAVR**_**********.zip
	Unzip the downloaded file. The following three
	files are created:
	ONKAVR**_**********.of1
	ONKAVR**_**********.of2
	ONKAVR**_**********.of3
3	Copy the extracted files to the USB device. Be
	careful not to copy the zip file.
4	Remove the USB device from your PC and
	connect it to the USB port on the AV receiver.
5	Make sure the AV receiver and TV are turned on.
	If the AV receiver is in standby mode, press
	8ON/STANDBY on the AV receiver to light the
	front display.
6	Select the USB input source.
	“Now Initializing...” is displayed on the front

display and then the name of the USB device is displayed. It takes 20 to 30 seconds to recognize the USB device.

7 Press RECEIVER followed by SETUP on the

	remote controller.
	Setup menu will be displayed on the TV screen. The
	procedures thereafter can also be performed on the
	AV receiver by using its SETUP, arrow and
	ENTER buttons.
8 Select “Update” and press ENTER.
9 Select “Via USB” and press ENTER.
10	Select “Update” and press ENTER.
	The update process will begin.
	During the update process, the on-screen display
	may disappear depending on the updated program.
	When this occurs, you can still view the update
	progress on the front display of the AV receiver. The
	on-screen display will reappear after the update is
	complete, and upon turning the AV receiver off and
	on again.
	Do not turn off the AV receiver and do not remove
	the USB device during the update process.
11	The message “Completed!” appears on the front
	display of the AV receiver, indicating that the
	update has been completed.
	Remove the USB device.
12	Turn off the AV receiver using 8ON/STANDBY
	on the front panel.

Do not use 8RECEIVER on the remote controller. Once turned off, the AV receiver will automatically turn on again.

Congratulations! You now have the latest firmware installed on your Onkyo AV receiver.
