7.3.2. Firmware Update

LaCie highly recommends that you search for ﬁrmware updates to

your LaCinema PlayHD:

1. Find the version of the current ﬁrmware (see 7.3.1. Version).

2. Visit www.lacie.com

3. Go to the PlayHD product page. Since there are a range of

LaCinema products, please make certain that you are on the

PlayHD site.

4. Select the Support tab.

5. Compare the version of ﬁrmware available on the website with

the version on your LaCinema PlayHD. If the version on the

LaCinema PlayHD website is more recent, please download it

to your computer.

6. Unzip the ﬁle before copying the ﬁrmware update to the root of

a USB ﬂash drive or USB key. The PlayHD will not ﬁnd the up-

date if it is placed within a folder on the USB ﬂash drive or key.

7. Safely eject the USB ﬂash drive or USB key safely from your com-

puter and insert it into the front USB 2.0 port of the LaCinema

PlayHD.

8. Using the LaCinema PlayHD remote, navigate to Settings >

System > Firmware Update.

TECHNICAL NOTE: If the LaCinema PlayHD does not ﬁnd the

ﬁrmware update on the USB ﬂash drive or key, you will see the mes-

sage in Fig. 66. Eject the USB ﬂash drive or key and try again. If the

problem persists, please plug the USB ﬂash drive or key into your

computer to conﬁrm that the ﬁrmware update is present. As well,

return to the PlayHD product site at www.lacie.com to make certain

that the update is correct.
