Update method 1: Updating automatically via the internet
The speaker has a function that automatically updates it to the latest software version if you use the speaker while it is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi.
This feature is disabled by default.
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.
To update software automatically
-
Launch “Sony | Music Center” on your smartphone or similar device, and do the settings in [System] in the [Settings] menu.
The automatic software update feature ([Auto Update]) of the speaker is activated. If [Auto Update] is disabled, change the setting to enable.
-
The update is performed when you are not using the speaker*, such as during midnight or when the speaker is in BLUETOOTH/Network Standby mode. The
(on/standby) indicator slowly flashes in orange while the speaker is updating.* You can do the Time Zone settings from “Sony | Music Center.”
To deactivate the software automatic update
-
Launch “Sony | Music Center” on your smartphone or similar device, and disable [Auto Update] in the [Settings] menu.
-
However, the software may still be updated automatically for critical changes, even if you disable this function.
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.
Hint
-
Do not turn off the speaker while it is updating.
-
When the speaker is connected to a network via Wi-Fi, if the speaker detects a software update, the
(on/standby) indicator flashes in orange 2 times immediately after the speaker is turned on. -
Regardless if the settings for [Auto Update] are enabled or disabled, if the speaker detects a software update, the
(on/standby) indicator flashes in orange 2 times immediately after the speaker is turned on.
Note
-
Updating normally takes about 3 to 10 minutes. It may take longer depending on your network environment.
-
Do not operate the speaker during an update. 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.
-
You must not interrupt the update.
