Firmware Update
This setting performs the firmware update procedure by reading the firmware binary files
located in the “Firmware” directory of you device.
Never delete or rename this folder.
Provided that you have already copied to this directory the latest firmware files downloaded
from the official site of your vendor, press enter to start the process. From the menu, you can
verify the revision number of the installed version and the revision of the new release.
The firmware update procedure takes approximately 1 minute. Once completed, turn off your
device by removing the power supply. Wait a few seconds and connect the power supply
again. The new firmware is now saved and in use.
NOTE: NEVER TURN OFF MOVIESTAR DURING THE FIRMWARE UPDATE
PROCEDURE. THIS MAY DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE. IF FOR ANY REASON (E.G. POWER
SUPPLY FAILURE DURING FIRMWARE UPDATE) THE PROCEDURE FAILS, YOU MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO OPERATE YOUR DEVICE. IN THIS CASE, YOUR DEVICE MAY BE
REPLACED WITH A FUNCTIONAL UNIT BY YOUR VENDOR.
To return to factory default settings press successively: INFO, 0, 1, 2, ENTER/PLAY

X(R) VOD
Your MovieStar supports the new DivX® Video-On-Demand (VOD) feature. With this feature,
you have the possibility to purchase or rent DivX VOD movies, downloaded from the internet,
and playback on your MovieStar DivX Certified device.
From the “DivX(R) VOD” option of the “Setting” menu you can see the registration code of
your device. This is a unique 8-digit code, assigned to each DivX certified device (like your
MovieStar).
Please refer to the sub-sequent paragraph entitled
DivX® VOD Compatibility
, for more
details on this feature of your device.
Background Image Customization
The background images seen on your TV can be customized!
To do this, connect your
MovieStar to the computer and create a new folder inside the Firmware folder called “img”.
Prepare your new background images and save them inside the “img” folder.
The files have to be saved as JPG, the dimension should be 720x480 with a DPI of 72.
Name them exactly as followed: Main.jpg, Movies.jpg, Music.jpg, Photos.jpg and
Settings.jpg. If one of these images is missing or not spelled exactly as seen above, none of
the customized images will appear on your TV screen! If you don’t like the new look, either
change the images or simply delete the folder, empty the trash bin and your original
background images will show up again.
