How to Update Sharp TV Firmware

id=»mod_18601990″>Introduction
Sharp occasionally releases firmware updates for its LCD TVs to improve existing functionality or add new functionality, or remove or add Internet applications. You can update your TV’s firmware over a connected Wi-Fi network, or by downloading the firmware update to a USB flash drive and then connecting that flash drive to your computer. Either way, installing the firmware update doesn’t take more than 20 minutes and is an easy process.

Instead, you must wait roughly five seconds, at which time the TV will automatically restart, finalizing the firmware installation. After the TV restarts, you can resume using it as you normally would.
