Try a different USB drive. | | Update stops at 50% and reboots | Power interruption | Retry. If repeated, contact support – possible NAND corruption. | | After update, no sound from HDMI | Settings reset to defaults | Go to Menu → System Setup → HDMI → Turn “Audio to TV” OFF. | | Remote doesn’t work after update | Rare IR table glitch | Unplug power for 10 minutes. Re-plug and factory reset (see below). |

If the AVR doesn't see the files, try a smaller USB drive (under 16GB) as some older hardware struggles with high-capacity drives. harman kardon avr 151 software update
