Step 3 Burning the firmware on to a CD-R / CD-RW
1. 2. Extract the files by unzipping the zipped file (HDR3500_EU_R01_09_BIN.zip) with WINZIP or other applications capable of handling zipped files (do not rename the extracted files). Write the extracted files not the zip file onto a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc, using the following settings: - File System: ISO 9660 + Joliet - File name length : max11 chars = 8+3 (Level 1) - Mode : 2/XA - Character set : ISO 9660 (ISO normal CD-ROM) - No Multi Session
- Write Speed : Low - Recording Method: Track At Once Note: The extracted files should not be placed in a folder on the disc but just in the top level directory (root). Finalize the disc. (The application may do this automatically.)
Step 4 Upgrading the firmware of your HDD/DVD recorder (CD-R/CD-RW)
1. 2. 3. 4. Power up the recorder and open the DVD tray. Insert the prepared firmware upgrade CD-R/CD-RW. Close the tray and the HDD/DVD recorder will auto-read the disc. Once the disc has been recognized, the HDD/DVD recorder should display a dialogue box, asking if you want to continue with the firmware upgrade. Please note that when OK is selected, the HDD/DVD recorder will start the upgrade process and any unmarked contents on the Time Shift Buffer is lost. Select Cancel if you dont want to perform the upgrade now.

Retry Step 3 and pay careful attention to use the correct settings and do not place the files in any folder on the disc. 5. 6. 7. When OK has been selected in Step 4, the upgrading status bar is shown on TV screen and display UPDATE on the front panel. Now your HDD/DVD recorder is being upgraded with the latest firmware. The upgrading is completed when the display shows DONE, and the HDD/DVD recorder will eject the tray. The TV screen will show the message Please take out the disc. Press OK to end upgrading. Remove the upgrade disc and press <OK> on the remote control. The HDD/DVD recorder should close the tray and restart automatically.
