Software Update

Use this procedure to update the receiver's software and check the version. There are two ways to update: via the
Internet and via a USB memory device.
Updating via the Internet is performed by accessing the file server from the receiver and downloading the file.
This procedure is only possible if the receiver is connected to the Internet.
Updating via a USB memory device is performed by downloading the update file from a computer, reading this
file onto a USB memory device then inserting this USB memory device into the USB port on the receiver's front
panel. With this procedure, the USB memory device containing the update file must first be inserted into the USB
port on the receiver's front panel.
! If an update file is provided on the Pioneer website, download it onto your computer. When downloading an
update file from the Pioneer website onto your computer, the file will be in ZIP format. Unzip the ZIP file before
saving it on the USB memory device. If there are any old downloaded files or downloaded files for other models
on the USB memory device, delete them.
