    System Requirements

    Your firmware may already be up to date, especially if you have a new AV receiver model. If the version number is 1328 (s9602.1328) or higher, you do not need to update.

    If you're not sure, it's easy to check which version of firmware you have:

    1. Turn on your TV and check it's tuned to the input your AV Receiver is connected to, so if the receiver is connected to the HDMI 2 socket, choose HDMI 2 as the input
    2. Turn on the AV Receiver
    3. Press HOME on the remote control and wait until the home menu is displayed on the television before proceeding
    4. At the Home menu, highlight Settings and press Enter using the arrow keys on the remote control
    5. At the Settings menu, highlight System Settings then press Enter using arrow keys on the remote control
    6. On the TV screen, the firmware version number looks like this:
      "Software Version s9602.1328.0" - if the version number is 1328 (s9602.1328) or higher, you already have the most recent firmware version
