Informs the unit's setting to a USB flash drive and restores it to the unit. Prepare a USB flash drive using FAT16 or FAT32 format in advance.

“Settings” > “Backup/Restore”


Choices
Backup   Backups all the settings for the USB flash drive.
Restore   Restores all the previous backuped settings.

In case of “Backup”

1 Connect the USB flash drive to the USB jack on the front panel.
2 Select “Backup”.
3 Select “Execute”.

In process, “Executing” is displayed on the front display. And “Backup Executing” is displayed on the TV. When the process finishes, “Complete” is displayed (“Backup Complete” on the TV).
If “Error” appears on the front display (“Backup Failed” on the TV), check the following and start the process again.
