Sony ZF9 firmware update

[PaulinBont]

Hi, 

Trying to locate which input my soundbar is connected to on the  XF9005 in order to do the update but can't find the soundbar on the TV menu ( assuming it's via ARC but as the TV is wall- mounted, no way of seeing)

If anyone cleverer than me could walk me through it, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks

Any ideas why the soundbar isn't showing up?

Eureka! That's the way he has done it, I can see the thin wire in the trunking between it and the tv - so is it still possible to connect the soundbar to the internet without having the screen display you've shown me above seeing as he hasn't used a HDMI cable?

Thanks for your help by the way

Hi @PaulinBont

Sorry, you really need to get your installer back and set it up correctly. Nobody uses an Optical connection now-a-days as it is limited to Dolby Digital and not the latest sound standards like Dolby Atmos. There is nothing you can do without seeing the HT-ZF9 menu. However the chances are it will update automatically but not if you haven’t setup the Internet connection. If you have an Ethernet cable connected then it will update automatically.
