8.1 Firmware Installation
If it is the first time that you are installing a SATA HDD (no matter it is a new one
or an old one) into the player, please make sure you have read the following steps in
advance.
Step 1: Backup Data
Please backup the data in the HDD before installing it into the player. The following
steps will format the hard disc, which will erase all data currently stored on the hard
disc.
Step 2: Install the HDD
Follow the HDD Installation Guide, and install the HDD into the player.
Step 3: Prepare the USB Pen Drive
You will need a USB Pen Drive for firmware installation. Copy the 6 files from the
USB Pen Drive installation folder in the Driver CD to the root directory of your USB
Pen Drive.
Step 4: Connect the USB Pen Drive
Plug the USB Pen Drive into the USB HOST port of the player.
Step 5: Hold the STANDBY button
Press and hold the STANDBY button on the front panel, and do not loosen.
