Updating Software

Here are instructions for updating the projector software.

Updating from a USB Drive

You can download the update file to your computer and copy it to a USB drive, then insert it into the projector's USB terminal to perform the update.

This method requires that you prepare your own USB drive, have a computer with internet connection, and be in an environment that allows the update file to be written to the USB drive.

The update file can be downloaded from the Sony website.

  3. Insert the USB drive to the USB terminal of the projector.
  4. Plug the AC power cord to the wall outlet while pressing the INPUT key on the projector.

    The ON/STANDBY indicator lights up in red and then flashes in orange (updating software).

    The ON/STANDBY indicator remains lit in red when update is complete.
