User Manual for Philips/Magnavox DVD Recorder upgrade discs
Introduction
Before you upgrade
This firmware can be used to upgrade a Philips or
Magnavox DVD Recorder to the latest status. After
you have completed the upgrade procedure, your
recorder will typically perform better. What
improvements are made depends on the upgrade
firmware you’re using as well as the firmware that your
DVD Recorder contained before the upgrade.
It may be useful to write down the system version
information of your DVD recorder before you start
the upgrade procedure, in case you need to call
service.
1 If there is any disc in the recorder, remove it and
close the tray.
2 Press SYSTEM MENU on the remote control.
