Introduction
Philips offers software upgrade capability for your TV using
portable memory. After you have completed a software
upgrade, your TV will typically perform better.
What improvements are made depends on the upgrade
software you are using as well as the software your TV
contained before the upgrade.
You can execute the software upgrade procedure yourself.
Be aware that the content of this document is addressing
technical or software skilled users.
To prepare a USB device for software upgrade
For the procedure you will require:
- a personal computer with web browsing capability;
- an archive utility that supports the ZIP-format (e.g.WinZip
for Windows or Stuffit for Mac OS);
- a preferably empty USB memory stick.
New software can be obtained from your dealer or can be
downloaded from the www.philips.com/support website:
1. Go to www.philips.com/support using the web browser on
your PC.
2. Follow the procedure to find the information and the
software related to your TV.
3. Select the latest software upgrade file and download it to
your PC.
4. Decompress the ZIP-file and copy the file "autorun.upg" to
the root directory of the USB portable memory.
Note: only use software upgrades that can be found on the
www.philips.com/support web site.
To verify the version of the TV software
Before you start the software upgrade procedure, it is
advised to check what the current TV software is.
1. Select Software Upgrade in the Installation menu.
2. Press the cursor right.
> The Software Upgrade menu moves to the left panel.
3. Select Current Software Info to observe the version and
the description of the current software.
Note: It is possible to upload a software version equal or
lower than the current version. In this case only a manual
software upgrade procedure is possible. See p. 51.
