3. Use the instructions at the site to write the CD.
4. Power the player on and open the player's tray.
5. Insert the CD and close the tray.

7. The screen displays random snowy patterns as it goes through the upgrade process.
8. At the end of the upgrade, the screen will go black and the player will eject the tray.
9. Remove the CD and power off the player.
10. Power the player back on and the method is finished.
