The Firmware Upgrade Process
Unzip the firmware files on your desktop to a folder named “VP-772” and then copy
that folder to an empty, FAT32-formated USB memory stick (with at least 30Mb of
free space)
as a root folder. After copying the “VP-772” folder as a single root
folder, the USB memory stick is ready to be used by attaching it into the device.
Make sure that you remove the USB memory stick safely from your PC.
Failing to do so may corrupt the firmware files on the memory stick
To upgrade the firmware:
1. Connect the USB memory stick to the S/W UPGRADE USB port on the rear
panel of the
VP-772
.
2. On the front panel click the MENU button, select FW Upgrade and then
select Upgrade (see
Section
6.5
).
The OSD shows the firmware version found in the memory stick:
