The
System update
screen on a non-connected TV gives you the
opportunity to connect your TV to the Internet to automatically
receive updates. We recommend this option if it is possible in your

drives.)

you are authorized to install an update, and to ensure you are
not attempting to install an old, unsupported version of the
system software.
