System Maintenance

product enhancements. To ensure that you receive the latest update, we

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 150 for possible corrective action.

Firmware is an important set of instructions that tells your 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 media player needs to know.

Important: Make sure the 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 if doing a manual update.

The firmware upgrade icon 

 appears in the media player’s Home screen when 

updated firmware becomes available, providing the option to automatically upgrade 
the firmware.

To update the firmware automatically:

1. Press HOME, then select the firmware upgrade icon 

. Press ENTER.
