Exciting news for users of the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box! The latest firmware update, version 2.4.2, is being rolled out to enhance both the newly released 8K model and the older 4K model. This update introduces some useful improvements and bug fixes aimed at refining your experience.
For owners of the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box 8K, which made its debut earlier this year, the update brings three key improvements. Among these is the addition of a brand-new ARC bypass mode. This feature can be easily managed through the app, giving users more flexibility to enjoy Music mode across a variety of setups. Stability is also a focus, with enhancements ensuring a smooth signal flow regardless of sync box conditions. Moreover, a previous issue with HDMI signals at 120Hz has been rectified, promising a more seamless viewing experience.
Meanwhile, users of the established Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box 4K can expect “general bug fixes and improvements” designed to optimize performance. This model’s last update addressed passthrough mode issues with Vizio M7 TVs, and it’s clear that Philips continues to focus on ironing out any kinks with this latest release.
Automatically receiving these updates is straightforward. Ensure your Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box is set to update automatically by navigating through the Philips Hue app: go to Settings and then Software Update to confirm your settings.
With these updates, Philips Hue continues to innovate and improve their products, enhancing users’ audiovisual experience and ensuring that their technology remains cutting-edge and reliable.
