Harman Kardon is pleased to offer this product upgrade, which improves the performance
of your AVR.
Important Note
This software is specially designed for use with Harman Kardon AVR 1710 receiver.
Use with any other models or brands may cause damage to the product.
DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCTS.
Depending on when your AVR was manufactured, it may have already had the latest
software installed at the factory. To see if its software requires an upgrade, please follow
these steps:
1. With the AVR switched ON, and your TV screen connected and ON to show the On-
Screen Menus, press the AVR Remote’s “OSD/MENU” Button. This opens the Master
Menu.
2. Scroll down to “System Setup”, confirm with the “OK” Button.
3. In the “System Setup” menu, scroll down to “Software Update”. Confirm with the
“OK” Button.
4. If the software version shown is “V002.23”, your receiver has the latest software
version, and no further action is needed. Go to “Back to cancel” and confirm with
“OK”.
5. If the display shows any other readout, please proceed and carry out the upgrade
according to the instructions on page 2.
System requirements:
To install the software upgrade, you will need to UNZIP the software ZIP file ontothe main
root directory of a USB memory stick with at least 256Mb of available storage capacity. We
recommend that there be no other files in the main “root” directory of the memory device.
If the root directory does contain any existing files, we recommend that you either remove
them or save them to a separate folder on the memory stick.

AVR 1710 SOFTWARE UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS February 2015
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Installing the new software will erase all information in your AVR system memory, which
means that any configuration settings or tuner presets that you have entered will be lost. To
make it easier to reestablish the settings after completing the update, we suggest writing
down your current system configurations (e.g. speaker distance and volume etc.) or radio
presets on a sheet of paper.
1. Insert the USB stick with the software file into the USB input on the front panel.
2. Follow the procedure on page 1, points 1-5, and select “OK to continue” instead
of “Back to cancel”.
3. The AVR confirms that software is found on the USB stick and begins the update
process.
4. SOFTWARE UPDATE begins.
5. During the SOFTWARE UPDATE, the AVR will auto power off.
6. The AVR will auto power on and display “UPGRADE SUCCESS”.
7. The AVR switches to FM, but since all memories and presets have been erased,
no station is tuned.
8. Power off the unit and remove the USB stick.
9. Now you can Power ON again for full use of the AVR.
Before using your receiver, you should re-enter the input and speaker configuration settings
and tuner presets that you wrote down.
