FIRMWARE UPGRADES

From time to time, COBY may release firmware upgrades

to improve the performance of the player or to add

additional features. Please check the COBY website

periodically at www.cobyusa.com

to see if new firmware

has been released for your player. If you are experiencing

abnormal behavior with your player, you may choose to

restore (format) your player before updating its firmware.

Do not interrupt the firmware upgrade process — doing

so could damage your player and render it inoperable.

See the documentation that is included with the firm

ware upgrade file for detailed instructions.

Connect your player to the computer.

Download the latest firmware for your player from

www.cobyusa.com

. Save this file to the computer.

Double-click the downloaded file (you may need a

file compression utility installed on your computer).

In the window that appears, double-click the file

“factory4.exe” to start the upgrade utility.
Follow the on-screen instructions to start the

upgrade process.
When the upgrade is complete, disconnect your

player from the computer.
