Before starting you may want to format your USB stick to be sure the receiver recognizes it. To do this, with the remote press this sequence...MENU>UTILITIES>USB>FORMAT>OK....it should only take a few seconds to format the USB stick. Once finished formatting the stick, follow the instructions below to flash the receiver with the USB stick.
1) Download, save and unzip the file you want to load to the receiver.
2) Load the .ird file you get after unzipping the compressed file to the USB stick
3) Put the USB stick in the USB port on the front of the receiver
4) A message box should appear on your tv screen. In this box should be a list of the files contained on the USB stick. Using the up and down buttons (the ones you use to change channels) to highlight the file you wish to load to the receiver.
5) Press the RED button (beside the green button) to start the receiver downloading the file. The digits in the receiver display should start going in circles. Wait for it to finish writing the file to the receiver. The receiver will reboot itself. L100 will flash on the display and then go back to the channel the receiver was tuned to.
6) Remove the USB stick from the port on the receiver.
NOTE: If the message box mentioned in step 4 above does not automatically come up, you can manually get to the list of files on the stick by following this sequence with the remote......press MENU>UTILITIES>DATA TRANSFER>DATA DOWNLOAD FROM USB STORAGE........then you should see the list of files. Follow the rest of step 4 instructions and then step 5 and 6.
Some people say that it is imperative that before doing these steps that you do a factory restore. I hardly ever do a factory restore unless I am loading a new factory file to the receiver OR there is a release note with the file instructing me to do so.
If you choose to do a factory restore prior to loading a file to the receiver, you will need to enter all of the antenna settings and rescan your channels after loading the files.
