is to be used and not any other previous RC. Digits in the menu can be enabled trough the professional
menu.

- 16 -
2.3 Software upgrade
For the best guest experience, it is highly recommended to use the latest software version available.
Go to: http://www.philips.com/support/
Select your country, enter the model number and download the latest software version
available from the support page
Unzip the software and follow the instructions how to upgrade the software on the TV
The USB flash drive used for software upgrade must be formatted as FAT32 and preferably
empty to avoid an accidental upload of a wrong setting or software
Preparation:
oCopy the software (autorun.upg) on the root of the USB stick (FA32 formatted) and
do not change the name
Procedure:
oStart up the TV and wait until it is fully booted up, should take a max of 2min
oInsert the USB stick
oA wizard will automatically appear and start the upgrade to the new SW
oWait until the process finishes, don’t send any RC command to the TV and do not
unplug the power cord
oAfter the update is done and the USB stick can be extracted
It’s required to first upgrade the TV and afterwards to perform the installation
The latest software version and cloning data can be stored on the same USB drive for a 2 in 1 action:
software upgrade and cloning during the instant initial cloning. See chapter ‘Instant Initial Cloning (IIC)’
for more information.

- 17 -
2.4 Clone folder structure
Below you can find the menu structure of a clone file. The content of this will be the same between
xxHFL5014 and xxHFL6014 TV’s.
This also means that you can clone the data from xxHFL5014 in xxHFL6014 and vice versa without
having to change the folder name.
Following is the folder name used in the root of the USB device containing the clone data:
TPM181HE_CloneData/MasterCloneData/
In the folder ‘TPM181HE_CloneData’, there can be multiple folders (so not only ‘MasterCloneData’):
The MasterCloneData is the main master clone file containing all clone data.
The DataDump contains information for debugging in case of reported problems. It also
contains the CSM.txt file containing all details about the TV.
You can also have a folder called “xxxxxCloneData” where xxxxx is the 5 digits of the room
number. If the room number matched the roomID set in TV, the TV will use this clone file to
program the TV when cloning from USB to TV.
It is advised to use CMND or the TV menu to make changes to the MasterCloneData and not to do this
manually.
Just for your information, the menu structure inside the MasterCloneData folder is as follows (some of
the folders might not be seen depending on your settings):
If you want to clone some specific part in your TV you can do so by only putting the specific folder in
the MasterCloneData folder before cloning it in the TV.
Note: The folder names are case sensitive

3. Find out the state of the TV
It is important to know if a TV is in Virgin mode (out of the box) or installed before. When installing a
newly bought TV, it will be in virgin mode.
3.1 Virgin mode
If you can see below screen, you know that the TV is in ‘out of the box’ state and you can install the
set by using procedure described in chapter ‘Virgin installation wizard’of this manual.
3.2 Professional Mode ON/OFF
If your set is not in virgin mode, you can check if the professional settings are ON or OFF. This can be
done by going to the professional menu and navigate to [Advanced] [Professional Mode] and turn this
option back to [On] in case it would be [Off]. You will need to do a virgin installation after you have
enabled Professional Mode by reinstalling the TV.
