3. SD memory card reader/writer with USB connectivity.
4. SD memory card formatting software.

     To upgrade the main software, it is necessary to get ready the SD card for version upgrade.

Follow these steps and create the SD card for version upgrade.

• Insert the SD card in to the SD card reader/writer.  Start the SD card formatting software, and click format.  When you have the drive options, select the drive where the SD card is inserted before you proceed.
• When the formatting is over, click OK at the complete window.
• Click Exit to finish formatting.  When you have done, take out the SD card once to make sure it is finished. Insert it again.
• Copy the Binary image file [D50UAxxx.SDC], named temprorarily, for version upgrade to the root directory/folder of the SD card drive. [Note that, the SD card drive do not store the other folders or unrelated files, or more than one Binary Image files for version upgrade.]  Now the SD card version for upgrade is ready. 

HOW TO UPGRADE THE SOFTWARE.

• Shut down AC Power.
• Insert the SD card for version upgrade; prepared as above; into the service socket located lower side from the center at terminals , above S-Video terminal in the rear of the unit, in a way that the cut corner of the SD card comes at the upper side. [If the SD card inserted in a wrong way, the card will go deep inside the unit beyond retrieval.  Take care to insert SD card correctly.
• Turn ON the AC Power.
• After the unit start up, the system upgrade screen will appear withing 25 to 50 seconds.
• Even a single failure in the process will trigger the upgrade failure screen.  The word "NG" changes to Red for the item failed. (In event of failure, repeat the upgrading process.  If the process repeatedly fails, it is likely that the hardware is troubled.
• Up on completion of the whole process, the upgrade success screen will appear.  You can check the new software version on this screen.  The version information only appear after the upgrade is complete.  
• Shut OFF the AC Power to the unit, and remove the SD card from the slot.
• Now the software upgrade is complete. 

     When you've done with the software version upgrade, start the set, go to the top page of the adjustment process and check the main software version information.

MONITOR MICROPROCESSOR SOFTWARE VERSION UPGRADE

     If the Monitor Version in the process menu is "2.00M", the monitor microprocessor software cannot be written, because, IC2002 has been replaced with the mask type. 

• Get ready the same items as listed in the Mains software version upgrade.
• Create the SD card for monitor microprocessor software version upgrade, in the same manner as explained Main Software Version Upgrade.  Copy the Binary image file M150xxx.SDC; named temporarily; for monitor microprocessor software version upgrade to the SD drive card.

1. Shut off the AC Power to the unit.
2. Insert the SD card for version upgrade into the service socket located into the same socket as mentioned above. 
3. Turn ON the AC power. (The moment this operation is done, the upgrading of the monitor microprocessor software starts.  While the upgrading is ongoing, Never Power Off the unit.  Otherwise the upgrade will fail and the system may have a serious damage beyond recovery )
4. After unit start up the system upgrade screen will appear within 15 to 40 seconds.
5. Upon completion of the whole process the upgrade success screen will appear. 
6. Shut down the AC power, and remove the SD card.
