Note: If you try to install this version of the firmware, you must hook up the ScreenPlay PRO HD to a TV through the RCA jacks instead of the HDMI cable. You may also want to try using Windows XP to install rather than Vista or Windows 7, although it should run fine under those systems anyway. If it is disabled and you continue to have trouble installing, make sure you are running the program with administrative privileges. It can interfere with the update and cause it to stop around 60%. I decided to leave it on after it displayed the hard drive error message and it did finally update (although I didn't come back to it until after about 30 minutes, so I don't know how long it actually took).Ĭomplete firmware installation instructions are available here.īe sure to disable any anti-virus program before running the firmware update program. I repeatedly reinstalled the R1.8 and R1.0 firmwares trying to get it to work but only got the error message instead of the upgrade message. This happened to me after trying to update to R1.8. Occasionally, the update will display "Hard Drive Error check user manual" on the screen and flash the yellow light. Once you do that, it will take about 5 minutes to apply the new firmware. You should still treat this as if it were going to delete all of your data and backup anything you wouldn't want to lose.Īfter extracting the files and running the executable, you will be instructed to remove the drive from the computer and power it back on. Using this option will still result in the loss of network setup and scheduled recordings. However, it is possible to preserve the NTFS/FAT 32 drive contents by changing the option during install to indicate that you only want to upgrade the firmware (keep multi-media data). It is an option that is selected by default and it is what you are supposed to do according to their directions, which if your drive doesn't have the proper partitions on it, you will need to do. The firmware update CAN wipe out your entire drive.
