AVR 1600
SOFTWARE UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
Harman Kardon is pleased to offer this product upgrade, which improves
the performance of your AVR and addresses software issues. Unlike many
consumer products, which are designed with “fixed” memory, the AVR
1600 features flash memory that is upgradable by loading the new software
on a standard USB memory stick and placing it in the front-panel jack.
This software package addresses an incompatibility that may occur when the
AVR 1600 is connected to devices such as satellite receivers, video game
consoles or other set top boxes via HDMI
TM
connectivity. Even if you have not
encountered this issue, we recommend that you install the new software to take
advantage of other additional minor performance improvements in this new
software package.
Important Note
This software is specially designed for use with Harman Kardon AVR 1600
receiver. Use with any other models or brands may cause damage to the
product. DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCTS.
*WARNING* NOTE:
This upgrade is for products used in North America or
countries with 120-volt AC current. If you live in Europe or any part of the world
with 230-volt AC current do not install this upgrade.
Installing the incorrect
software may cause problems with your receiver that are not covered by
the unit's warranty
.

already had the latest software installed at the factory. To see if its software
requires an upgrade, please follow these steps:

With the AVR turned on, press the
AVR button
, and then press
1-2-3-4-
OK
on the remote control.

, you have the correct version and no further action is needed.
o
If the display shows any other readout, please proceed with the upgrade.
System Requirements
To install the software upgrade, you will need a USB memory stick with at least
400 Mb of available storage capacity. We recommend that there be no other files
on the memory device, but if it contains any existing files, please check to make
certain that none of them have the file extension of “.bin” as the last three letters
of the file name. Any such files on the memory device must either be removed or
saved to a separate folder on the memory stick.
The presence of any other
files with a “.bin” extension in the main “root” directory of the memory
