180 WD TV HD Media Player User Manual System Maintenance The system software of your WD TV HD Media Player can be upgraded to the latest release, which can improve support for media file playback and includes bug fixes and product enhancements. To ensure that you receive the latest update, we recommend registering your product at https://www.wdc.com/register. This chapter describes how to upgrade the system firmware and perform simple troubleshooting. If you encounter an error message, refer to the "Common Error Messages" on page 76 for possible corrective action. Solutions to more serious problems may require contacting your dealer or an authorized service center for assistance. For more information, refer to "WD Service and Support" on page 2. System Firmware Upgrade Firmware is an important set of instructions that tells your HD media player how to operate, what the interactive screens look like, and how to do what you tell it to do. Upgrading the firmware is important because WD is always developing newer, faster, and more efficient ways of doing things that your HD media player needs to know. Important: Make sure the HD media player's AC power adapter remains connected during the firmware update. A power disruption during the update process can corrupt the system firmware. Also, make sure that you do not unplug the USB storage device. To update the firmware: 1. Go to www.westerndigital.com/wdtv and download the latest firmware update file for your USB storage. 2. Click "Downloads" then the product name (or photo). 3. Copy the firmware update file to a USB drive's root folder. 4. Connect the USB drive to the HD media player's USB port. 5. Press HOME, then select the Settings bar. 6. Select the firmware upgrade icon , and then press ENTER. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE - 71
