To update your CineMate system

Power on your system. The LED on the back of the Acoustimass module should be solid and not flashing

On the back of the Acoustimass module, insert the USB thumb drive into the port marked "Service"

After a few seconds, the LED should flash green and turn off. If the LED does not change status when inserting the USB drive, remove and reinsert the drive

Once the LED turns off, remove the USB drive

In the file selection window, find and select the Update.stu file you downloaded in step 2. Once selected, the file name appears in the field to the right of the "CHOOSE FILE" button
