The Initial Setup menu
Using Software Update
(Digital tuner)
The Software Update function can keep the
built-in digital tuner up to date with the latest
system software. You can either check for
updates manually, or have the recorder do it
automatically at regular intervals.
Access the Software Update screen from the
Options menu.
There are three options available: Manual
Update, Auto Update and Technical
Information.
Manual Update
Select Manual Update to check for updated
software immediately. If new software is
found then it is automatically downloaded
and installed. The new software will take
effect the next time the recorder is powered
on.
If for some reason the new software could
not be downloaded successfully, a dialog
box informs you of the error. Press HOME
MENU to exit or RETURN/EXIT to return to
the previous screen.
Note that channel information may be
erased when software update is used, and
that timer recording will not work during the
update.
To cancel manual update before it has
completed, press HOME MENU.

Auto Update
By default, the Auto Update option is On,
which means that periodically the recorder
will check for and update the digital tuner
software if it's available. We recommend
that you leave this option On.
If new software is found and successfully
downloaded, the recorder automatically
scans for new digital channels, informing
you if any are found (this is the equivalent of
using the Add New Channel option, found in
the Digital Tuner section of the Initial Setup
menu).
Technical Information
This displays the current hardware and
software version numbers of the digital
tuner.
