Important Notes about Downloading the Update:

- IMPORTANT: After performing this update it is not possible to return to or install a previous version of the system software. By downloading and installing this update, you acknowledge that you understand this update cannot be reversed.
- IMPORTANT: Updating the software may interrupt your HDMI input source. To ensure proper operation, we recommend that you perform a complete reset of your HDMI input source after completing the software update. Depending on your setup you could have more than 1 source connected to your TV. This could be your Cable or Satellite box, Blu-ray, DVD, or gaming system.
- A USB storage device, such as a Sony Micro Vault device, or something similar, is required to perform the update. Sony is aware that not all USB storage devices are compatible with our TVs. If you are using a USB device for playback of photos, music, or videos on your TV, the same USB device type should work for the update. If the software update is not successful after following the instructions, you may need to format your device to the FAT32 file system, or use a different device.
- IMPORTANT: Software updates for BRAVIA televisions are different for each model and size TV. If the wrong version is accidentally installed, the TV may take longer than usual to power on, may have a distorted or discolored picture, or may have no picture at all. This can be corrected by installing the correct software update version. For more information see the After Updating the Software section below.
- It is highly recommended that you print out these instructions for use as a reference during the installation process.

However, you should first check that this release is compatible with your TV model and that it specifically resolves a problem that you have been encountering or makes changes that you deem useful.

In addition to that, since there are numerous TV models and manufacturers, as well as several methods for updating the software version, we recommend that you refer to the product guide, familiarize yourself with the procedure, and initiate the upgrade only when you have completely understood the steps.

Bear in mind that, in the event of an update failure encountered by trying to apply an improper firmware or if you don't successfully succeed to install the new software, the TV can suffer serious malfunctions.

Therefore, if you wish to apply this release, click the download button, get the package, and refer to the update guide to upgrade the TV firmware. Also, if you want to stay up to date with latest releases, check with our website as often as possible.
