LC-32LB481U / LC-43LB481U / LC-50LB481U 32" / 43" / 50" Full HD LED 1080p Sharp Roku TV Getting system updates If your TV is connected to the Internet and linked with a Roku account, it will automatically get updates from time to time. You don't need to do anything. But if you are aware that an update is available and you don't want to wait until your TV updates itself, you can manually check for updates. If your TV is not connected to the Internet, you can still get updates by using a USB flash drive. You can download an updated User Guide that matches your Roku TV software version from the Sharp website at: https://www.sharptvusa.com/support To determine your current Roku TV software version, go to Settings > System > About, and then press OK or navigate to the right. Checking for updates on a connected TV If you're one of those people who has to have the latest, most up-to-date features the moment they are available, you can check for updates as often as you want. To check for updates, navigate to Settings > System > System update, and then select Check now. Your TV responds either with a message saying that your TV is up to date, or with a message saying that an update is available. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the system update. Note Sometimes system updates install new system software, and other times they install new features for streaming channels. Therefore, you won't always see a change in the behavior of your TV after a system update. Getting updates on a non-connected TV If your TV is not connected to the Internet, you can still get system updates by using a USB flash drive and a computer with an Internet connection. To get a system update, navigate to Settings > System > System update: 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 situation. To proceed, select Connect to the Internet and follow the instructions in But what if I didn't connect my TV? on page 43. Otherwise, if you can't connect to the Internet, select I can't connect, and then follow the instructions on the screen. Here's a summary: 1 On an Internet-connected computer, go to the website displayed on the System update screen. 2 On the USB Update web page, select the correct brand and model and then click Download. Save the file to the root folder of a standard USB flash drive. 3 When the download finishes, take the USB flash drive to your TV and plug it into the USB port. When you do, your TV validates the files on the flash drive and displays a 12-digit code. 4 Write down the code and the web address, and take this information back to your Internet-connected computer. USB flash drive Any normal USB flash drive will work, provided it has a FAT-16 or FAT-32 file system format. (This is the default for most flash drives.) The size of the download is small-usually less than 100 MB-and so will fit on any size flash drive you might have. 71
