Upgrading the Firmware
Important Notes Prior to Upgrade
JVC periodically releases new firmware versions that include critical updates as well as feature
enhancements.
ProHD BR-DE900 firmware and software upgrade process involves uploading a .TAR file within the
unit HTTPS user interface, allowing the unit to extract the required files and perform internal
updates. Uploading time of the upgrade file can take up to few minutes and may vary from one
computer to another. It also depends on network speed and the connection's quality between the
computer and the ProHD BR-DE900 appliance. On regular LAN, it takes only few seconds.
During the upgrade, while the file is uploaded, the web based HTTPS interface polls the unit
status. This polling attempt occurs also during the actual execution of the upgrade inside the
appliance. To avoid interruption to the upgrade process, do not close the active browser window
used for uploading the file.
Read carefully the step-by-step procedure below and pay extra attention to notes and warnings.
