Home Audio SystemCMT-SX7/SX7B

Update method 1: Automatic update via the Internet

If you use the home audio system while connected to the Internet via a wired or Wi-Fi network, the home audio system can update to the latest software automatically.

This feature is disabled by default.

To update software automatically

  • Launch SongPal on your smartphone/iPhone, and set [Time Zone] in the [Settings] menu.

    The automatic software update feature ([Auto Update]) of the home audio system is activated. If [Auto Update] is disabled, change the setting to enable.

  • The update is performed when you are not using the home audio system, such as during midnight or when the home audio system is in standby mode. The standby indicator lights up during the update, and [Complete] appears in the display window when the update is complete.

To deactivate the software automatic update

  • Disable [Auto Update] in the [Settings] menu by using SongPal installed on a smartphone/iPhone.
  • However, the software may still be updated automatically for critical changes, even if you disable this function.

If [Cannot Download] and [Push POWER] appear alternately

The software update has failed.

If the network connection is not reliable, the update may fail before it completes. See the following to update using a USB flash drive.

Manual update via a USB flash drive (when the update via a network has failed)

Hint

  • When the home audio system is connected to the Internet via a wired or Wi-Fi network, [UPDATE] appears in the display window when the home audio system detects a new software version.
  • Regardless of the [Auto Update] setting, [UPDATE] will appear when the home audio system detects a new software version.
  • You can update the software manually even when the [Auto Update] setting is activated. See"Update method 2: Manual update via the Internet".

Note

  • Updating normally takes 3 to 10 minutes. It may take longer depending on your network environment.
  • Do not operate the home audio system or remote control during an update. Also, keep the home audio system connected to the power supply and network while updating.
  • The update procedure via Internet can be terminated by performing MENU button [Download Cancel] [Ok] while [Download] is displayed (depending on the update progress status, canceling cannot be executed). If the update procedure has been terminated, [Cancel!] and [Push POWER] will appear alternately. When you turn on the home audio system next time after termination, [UPDATE] will appear in the display window if the home audio system detects a new software version again.
