sub cable) into the RS-232 port on the
digital receiver, and the other end into the
matching port on your computer.

4. Run TFD-Down.

The instructions on how to use TFD-Down are as follows:

1. Press the Find button to select the new

firmware file.

2. Press the download button, and then turn

on the digital receiver to start the file trans-
fer.

transfer is complete.
