Updating the firmware via a network

NOTICE
  • Do not operate the sound bar or unplug the power cord or network cable while updating the firmware. In the unlikely event that this process is interrupted, it may not be possible to use the sound bar. In that case, you may have to take it in to have it repaired.

Update using the application

If you are using the MusicCast Controller smartphone application, it will notify you when a firmware update becomes available.

Follow the app screen instructions to update the firmware.

Updating from the Setup menu

If the sound bar is connected to the Internet, when the sound bar is ready to update to new firmware, the (Firmware Update) icon on the front display will glow.

In that screen, follow the following instructions to update the firmware.
