System Maintenance
The system software of your media player can be upgraded to the latest release,
which can improve support for media file playback and includes bug fixes and
product enhancements. To ensure that you receive the latest update, we
recommend registering your product at http://register.wdc.com.
This chapter describes how to upgrade the system firmware and perform simple
troubleshooting. If you encounter an error message, refer to the “Common Error
Messages” on page 214 for possible corrective action.
Solutions to more serious problems may require contacting your dealer or an
authorized service center for assistance. For more information, refer to “WD Service
and Support” on page 2.
System Firmware Upgrade
Firmware is an important set of instructions that tells your media player how to
operate, what the interactive screens look like, and how to do what you tell it to do.
Upgrading the firmware is important because WD is always developing newer, faster,
and more efficient ways of doing things that your media player needs to know.
Important: Make sure the media players AC power adapter remains
connected during the firmware update. A power disruption during the
update process can corrupt the system firmware. Also, make sure that you
do not unplug the USB storage device if doing a manual update.
Automatic
The New Firmware menu appears in the media player’s Home screen when updated
firmware becomes available, providing the option to automatically upgrade the
firmware.
Note: You must have Auto Detect New Firmware set to On to automatically upgrade firmware. See
“Auto Detect New Firmware” on page 206.

Warranty Information (All Regions Except Australia/New Zealand)
Obtaining Service
WD values your business and always attempts to provide you the very best of service. If this Product requires
maintenance, either contact the dealer from whom you originally purchased the Product or visit our product
support Web site at http://support.wdc.com for information on how to obtain service or a Return Material
Authorization (RMA). If it is determined that the Product may be defective, you will be given an RMA number and
instructions for Product return. An unauthorized return (i.e., one for which an RMA number has not been issued)
will be returned to you at your expense. Authorized returns must be shipped in an approved shipping container,
prepaid and insured, to the address provided on your return paperwork. Your original box and packaging
materials should be kept for storing or shipping your WD product. To conclusively establish the period of
warranty, check the warranty expiration (serial number required) via http://support.wdc.com. WD shall have no
liability for lost data regardless of the cause, recovery of lost data, or data contained in any Product placed in its
possession.
Limited Warranty
WD warrants that the Product, in the course of its normal use, will for the term defined below, be free from
defects in material and workmanship and will conform to WD’s specification therefor. The term of your limited
warranty depends on the country in which your Product was purchased. The term of your limited warranty is for
1 year in the North, South and Central America region, 2 years in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa region,
and 1 year in the Asia Pacific region, unless otherwise required by law. The term of your limited warranty period
shall commence on the purchase date appearing on your purchase receipt. WD may at its discretion make
extended warranties available for purchase. WD shall have no liability for any Product returned if WD determines
that the Product was stolen from WD or that the asserted defect a) is not present, b) cannot reasonably be
rectified because of damage occurring before WD receives the Product, or c) is attributable to misuse, improper
installation, alteration (including removing or obliterating labels and opening or removing external enclosures,
unless the product is on the list of limited user-serviceable products and the specific alteration is within the scope
of the applicable instructions, as found at http://support.wdc.com), accident or mishandling while in the
possession of someone other than WD. Subject to the limitations specified above, your sole and exclusive
warranty shall be, during the period of warranty specified above and at WD’s option, the repair or replacement of
the Product with an equivalent or better Product. The foregoing warranty of WD shall extend to repaired or
replaced Products for the balance of the applicable period of the original warranty or ninety (90) days from the
date of shipment of a repaired or replaced Product, whichever is longer.
The foregoing limited warranty is WD’s sole warranty and is applicable only to products sold as new. The
remedies provided herein are in lieu of a) any and all other remedies and warranties, whether expressed, implied
or statutory, including but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose, and b) any and all obligations and liabilities of WD for damages including, but not limited to accidental,
consequential, or special damages, or any financial loss, lost profits or expenses, or lost data arising out of or in
connection with the purchase, use, or performance of the Product, even if WD has been advised of the possibility
of such damages. In the United States, some states do not allow exclusion or limitations of incidental or
consequential damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Warranty Information (Australia/New Zealand only)
For consumers purchasing products in Australia and New Zealand, please refer to this
warranty information.
Nothing in this warranty modifies or excludes your legal rights under the Australian Competition and Consumer
Act or the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act. This warranty identifies WD's preferred approach to
resolving warranty claims which is likely to be quick and simple for all parties.
No other warranties either express or implied by law, including but not limited to those contained in the Sale of
Goods Act, are made with respect to the Product. If you purchased your Product in New Zealand for the
purposes of a business, you acknowledge and agree that the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act does not
apply.
In Australia, our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You
are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable
loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if goods fail to be of acceptable

Australian Consumer Law.
Warranty
WD warrants that the Product, in the course of its normal use, will for the term defined below, be free from
defects in material and workmanship and will conform to WD’s specifications. The term of your warranty is 1 year
in Australia and New Zealand, unless otherwise required by law. The term of your warranty period shall
commence on the purchase date appearing on your purchase receipt from an authorized distributor or
authorized reseller. Proof of purchase shall be required to be eligible for this warranty and to establish the
commencement date of this warranty. Warranty service will not be provided unless the Product is returned to an
authorized distributor, authorized reseller or regional WD return center where the Product was first shipped by
WD. WD may at its discretion make extended warranties available for purchase. WD shall have no liability for any
Product returned if WD determines that the Product was (i) not purchased from an authorized distributor or
authorized reseller, (ii) not used in accordance with WD specifications and instructions, (iii) not used for its
intended function, or (iv) stolen from WD, or that the asserted defect a) is not present, b) cannot reasonably be
rectified because of damage occurring before WD receives the Product, or c) is attributable to misuse, improper
installation, alteration (including removing or obliterating labels and opening or removing external enclosures,
including the mounting frame, unless the product is on the list of limited user-serviceable products and the
specific alteration is within the scope of the applicable instructions, as found at http://support.wdc.com),
accident or mishandling while in the possession of someone other than WD.
PRODUCTS ARE COMPLEX AND FRAGILE ITEMS THAT MAY OCCASSIONALY FAIL DUE TO (A)
EXTERNAL CAUSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, MISHANDLING, EXPOSURE TO HEAT,
COLD, AND HUMIDITY, AND POWER FAILURES, OR (B) INTERNAL FAULTS. SUCH FAILURES CAN
RESULT IN THE LOSS, CORRUPTION, DELETION OR ALTERATION OF DATA. NOTE THAT YOU SHALL
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS, CORRUPTION, DELETION OR ALTERATION OF DATA
HOWSOEVER CAUSED, AND FOR BACKING UP AND PROTECTING DATA AGAINST LOSS,
CORRUPTION, DELETION OR ALTERATION. YOU AGREE TO CONTINUALLY BACK UP ALL DATA ON
THE PRODUCT, AND TO COMPLETE A BACKUP PRIOR TO SEEKING ANY GENERAL SERVICE AND
TECHNICAL SUPPORT FROM WD.
In Australia, if the Product is not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or
consumption, provided it is fair and reasonable to do so, WD limits its liability to replacement of the Product or
supply of equivalent or better Product.
This warranty shall extend to repaired or replaced Products for the balance of the applicable period of the original
warranty or ninety (90) days from the date of shipment of a repaired or replaced Product, whichever is longer.
This warranty is WD’s sole manufacturer's warranty and is applicable only to Products sold as new.

Product. If you are unable to contact the dealer from whom you originally purchased the Product, please visit our
product support Web site at http://support.wdc.com for information on how to obtain service or a Return
Material Authorization (RMA). If it is determined that the Product may be defective, you will be given an RMA
number and instructions for Product return. An unauthorized return (i.e., one for which an RMA number has not
been issued) will be returned to you at your expense. Authorized returns must be shipped in an approved
shipping container, prepaid and insured, to the address provided with your RMA number. If following receipt of a
qualifying claim under this warranty, WD or the dealer from whom you originally purchased the Product
determines that your claim is valid, WD or such dealer shall, at its discretion, either repair or replace the Product
with an equivalent or better Product or refund the cost of the Product to you. You are responsible for any
expenses associated with a claim under this warranty. The benefits provided to you under this warranty are in
addition to other rights and remedies available to you under the Australian Competition and Consumer Act or the
New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act.
