  2. Using your remote control go to “Home” and select Settings using the OK option.
  3. Select the option “Update now” and select OK.

If your device is connected to the Internet it will connect to the Philips server to look for an update. Follow the instruction on the screen.

Once the update is done, the TV will turn off and turn on automatically. Wait until the TV turns on again. Please, do not use the remote control to turn your TV during this period.
