Update method 2: Updating manually via the internet

If the speaker detects a software update when the speaker is used via Wi-Fi network, the (on/standby) indicator flashes in orange 2 times immediately after the speaker is turned on.

In this case, follow the steps below to update the software to the latest version.

When the update starts, any music being played will stop. Also, any BLUETOOTH connection is disconnected.

Preparation for update

Software updates become possible when the speaker is in the following states.

  • The speaker is connected to the AC outlet with the supplied USB AC adaptor.

    (Software updates cannot be performed when using with the built-in rechargeable battery.)

  • The speaker is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi.

  1. Use “Sony | Music Center” to update the speaker.

    Operate the speaker by following the on-screen instructions in “Sony | Music Center.”

    While updating, the speaker cannot be used.

    When the update is complete, the speaker automatically switches to BLUETOOTH/Network Standby mode.

If the indicators light/flash as explained in the following:

  • The network indicator lights up white for 1 second

  • The BLUETOOTH indicator lights up white for 1 second

  • The (on/standby) indicator quickly flashes in orange

The software update has failed.

Turn off the speaker, then turn it on again. The update will resume. If the situation does not improved after switching the speaker off and on, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Note

  • Updating normally takes about 3 to 10 minutes. It may take longer depending on your network environment.

  • While updating, keep the speaker connected to a network and connected to an AC outlet by using the USB AC adaptor. An update cannot be performed when the speaker is powered by the built-in rechargeable battery only.
