Small Tutorial:
You can download the firmware to your PC. Please format the USB stick (4 GB < 32 GB) to the FAT32 file system. Then copy the .bin or .pkg file to the empty USB stick. Rename the file to: Forcedupgrade_001.bin (Or: Rename the file to: MstarUpgrade.bin)
Procedure:
Remove any connected devices (headphones, soundbar, external receiver, etc.).
Remove the mains plug.
Insert the USB stick into a USB 2.0 socket (white/silver).
Press and hold the red standby button on the remote control and plug the mains plug back in.
Press and hold the button until the message "Software Updating" appears.
(Method 2: Start the software installation under: Menu -> Settings -> Support - > Firmware update -> Update from USB -> Reboot Please note that the update process can take up to 15 minutes.
After the update, the device restarts and you can remove the USB stick.
Finally, the device must be reset via the "About" menu with the menu item "Restore factory settings".
