[QUOTE="Mick21367, post: 144426, member: 175760"] Updating the firmware on the TM1000 range Before starting, switch off your receiver at the mains. Also, make sure you have a new firmware already downloaded on your PC. It's probably a good idea to practice with Technomate's official firmware first - you won't see much with it, but at least you'll see how it should work.O-Ha Step 1: Connect the receiver to your PC, switch it on at the back - leave it in standby mode Step 2. Open the TMLoader on your PC (if you don't already have it, you can download it from Technomate's website) Step 3: Click on Autodetect to detect the COM port, (you'll get a message confirming your current firmware version) then on Browse to locate the firmware (I have a folder on the PC just for firmwares). Step 4: Click on Connect, then follow the instructions on the pop-up boxes (just a yes/no box, if I remember correctly) The download only takes about three minutes - it consists of downloading, writing and erasing the old firmware. Needless to say, do NOT interrupt the download, or you may kill your receiver stone dead!:-DOH! N.B. The download 'radio button' on the program means [I]downloading [/I] to the receiver - don't confuse it with downloading [I]from[/I] the internet [/QUOTE]
