3. Connect the USB memory stick to the PC / laptop and copy the file to a root folder of the USB. (Do not place the file in a folder)

4. Disconnect the product from the mains socket / remote the power cable from the rear.

5. Insert the USB memory stick from your PC / laptop and connect the USB to the front or rear USB connection on the HDR-1000S / HDR-1010S.

6. Press and hold the Channel DOWN button on the front of the product and connect to the mains / connect the power cable.

7. The Download progress will appear on your TV screen / the front display of the product

8. When the download is completed END will appear on the front display

9. To complete the download:

a. Remove the USB memory stick

b. Press the Standby button on the front of the product or power off and on from the mains

Note: USB Pen must be formatted in FAT32

The software must be on the root directory of the USB Pen (i.e. not saved in a folder)

If the update does not start then please make sure the filename is correct (hdr1000s_upgrade.hdf)

The file you download will already have the “.hdf” extension, there is no need to add the “.hdf” extension; your Windows explorer options maybe hidding filename extensions.

Not all USB Pens will be recognised, try a different USB Pen.
