Play on HD from AC RYAN - latest firm ware updates
Note:
Copy install.img to the root directory of a USB flash drive and connect it to the USB host port of the player.
Enter the Setup menu, System, System Update, System Upgrade and Enter to confirm.
Please wait for the flashing to complete until the Playon! HD restarts by itself.
Do not power off the unit during the flashing process!
The HDMI connection may reset after updating the firmware and may go out of sync with your display.
Press the TV SYS button on the remote a few times to sync with a compatible display mode if this happen.
Once the display is back, we recommend setting to HDMI Auto in the video setup menu unless a manual mode is preferred.
Attention:
Please note that version v7.0.6 r2388 is based on the latest SDK version 2 and cannot be downgraded to earlier versions.
Should you need to roll back to an earlier version, you will need to reformat the internal HDD through the Playon!HD system.
