6-1. OVERVIEW

From time to time the KDP-57XBR2/65XBR2 may require an
upgrade to its firmware.
The Q-box inside the set allows for upgrading the firmware via a
®
Memory Stick slot. At such times that upgrades are required,
pre-programmed Memory Sticks will be made available to the
service network. Be sure to check the Sony Service Company's
web site to see if any upgrades are available for correcting the
problems you are trying to resolve.
DISCLAIMER:
Any use of the Memory Stick port for any reason
other than a Sony authorized upgrade will void
the product warranty. All related repair charges
will be the responsibility of the customer.
