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
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 (FAT32 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 1min
oInsert the USB stick
oA wizard will automatically appear and start the upgrade to the new SW
oWait until the process finishes and do not unplug the power cord
oAfter around 2min the update will be 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.

- 12 -
2.4 Clone folder structure
Below you can find the menu structure of a clone file.
Following is the folder name used in the root of the USB device containing the clone data:
TPS191HE_CloneData/MasterCloneData/
In the folder ‘TPS191HE_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 matches the roomID setting 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.
This TV is only to be used having professional mode set to [On], you are able to turn it [Off] in case
your TV is out of warranty and you still want to use it as a consumer TV.
Note: no support will be given in case of [Professional Mode] = [Off].
3.3 CSM (Customer Service Menu)
The CSM contains data about the TV software, serial number and other details. The menu can be
accessed using a standard remote control or using the master remote control.
Using the guest RC with digits: “1 2 3 6 5 4”
Using the master RC “Recall/Info” or “Info/CSM” depending on the model

- 14 -
Note: When you enter the CSM menu using the key code a text file (CMS.txt) will be written to your USB
memory device if it’s connected to your TV in order to have a copy of the CSM data.
You can navigate between the 8 CMS pages using “Up/Down”.

- 15 -
4. Reinstall TV
4.1 Reinstall the TV manually
If you want to start an installation from scratch you can always reinstall the TV. All settings will be reset
to the default values and channel list will be cleared.
Note: Some settings like roomID, manual date and time, professional mode, professional menu
and pin lock will not be reset. If you want these settings to be changed you will need to do this
after the reinstallation has finished.
Open the [Professional Settings] menu.
Navigate to the [Reset] menu. Navigate to the [Reinstall TV] menu.
Press the “OK” button on the [Reinstall TV] menu, you should get below screen.

- 16 -
Note: Depending on your country and settings, a PIN code can be requested.
Select [Yes] and press the “OK” button to reinstall the TV. You will see that the TV will apply a reset
and restart into IIC mode.
4.2 Reinstall via a script in the clone file
To automatically reinstall the TV, load a new clone file and load new SW you can use this script.
In the ‘MasterCloneData’ folder you can add a folder called ‘Script’. In this folder you have to put a
script called ‘Script.xml’ (folder name and file name are case sensitive).
This xml file has as content below:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<Script>
<SchemaVersion MajorVerNo="1" MinorVerNo="0" />
<Activity>
<Action>ReinstallTV</Action>
</Activity>
</Script>
If you have this file in the correct location and you Clone USB to TV then in the beginning of the cloning
process the TV will give a notification ‘Reinstall TV’ and the TV will be reinstalled.
After the reinstallation the TV will be in IIC mode, if you have new SW on the USB device the TV will be
upgraded, after this the new clone file will be loaded to the TV.

- 17 -
5. Virgin installation wizard
Out of the box a new TV will be in virgin mode. This means that you will have to go through the virgin
installation wizard to apply the first settings of the TV.
You might need to wake up the TV from standby.
5.1 Instant Initial Cloning (IIC)
5.1.1 Virgin installation
When starting up the TV in virgin mode you will see the first screen indicating Instant Initial Cloning
(IIC). The TV is now searching on USB, Network and RF for a new clone file containing all new settings
for the TV and/or a new software update.
You can also see the model name and SW version of the TV.
If there is no need to load a clone file in this TV (for example if you want to make a new installation to
create a master clone file) then you need to press “OK” to activate the skip button.
5.1.2 Instant initial cloning and software upgrade
If you want to upgrade the TV software and load a new clone file in the TV via USB you have to perform
the following steps:
Disconnect the TV from the mains power
Insert a USB device with both the new SW (See chapter “Software upgrade”) and the clone file
you want to load in the TV
You must see following 2 files in the root of your USB device (remove all other files and folders)
Note: Both folder name and the upg file are case sensitive.
Connect the mains power to the TV

- 18 -
Wake up the TV from STBY if required
The TV will automatically detect the new SW version and the clone file and upgrade both
During this process you will see following (no user interaction needed):
oDetection of the Software and Clone file
oUpgrading the SW from USB to TV will start
oAfter the installation phase, the TV will reboot. The SW upgrade can take several
minutes.

- 19 -
oAfter the software upgrade, the TV will reboot and will go again to the cloning screen
where the clone file from the USB stick will be loaded in TV
Note: First, you will see “Downloading”; once downloaded you will see a message that
you can remove the USB stick:
oIf you don’t press “OK”once processing is done, the TV will go to standby after 30
minutes. You can press “OK”to close the overview screen, the installation is done and
you can start using the TV.
If a clone file and/or software is sent out over RF the same process will happen automatically. (default
RF frequency is 498MHz.)
