I will try to make this guide easy and as useful as possible and I hope it will answer all of the questions. First of all you need following tools to update your receiver.

1- A CW600s receiver
2- Null Modem Cable
3- New OSD software bin files “CX_KroundV1.06.bin and CX-LoaderV2.50.bin” for CW600s model FTA receiver
4- Loading Software CW600 v1.04 and also New CW600 V1.05

All file are available for download in file section bundled in a package.

1) Connect your PC and receiver with twisted RS-232C Null modem cable.

2) Power off the receiver from the back switch.
3) You must load this new OSD in “boot” MOD. Here how you get into “boot”MOD:
Hold power button on the front of the receiver and turn the power ON from the back of the receiver. You will see a word “boot” on the front LCD screen of the receiver.

4) If you have USB to serial cable and a Virgin brand new receiver then you have to first load new OSD bin file using a null modem cable or load old OSD V142 or latest bin file to make your USB to serial cable work.

5) Run the LoaderV1.04 on your PC. Select the right COM port where you connected your null modem cable usually COM1, then select

<Download Main S/W>, press <Open> and select the bin file,CX_KroundV1.06_24138Chip.bin then click <Start>, upgrade will begin.

6) After finishing, the receiver LED will display "-End"
If your experience any problem during the upgrade start over again.
7) Turn receiver Off from the back and then ON the receiver; you will see 00:00 now press "POWER" key on front of the receiver panel to make it standby, the LED *** will display “- - : - -“.
8) Start New LoaderV1.05 check if the right COM port is selected then select
<Download Main S/W>, press <Open> and select the bin file,CX-LoaderV2.50 then click <Start>, upgrade will begin

If you will not upload the CX-LoaderV2.50.bin you will not be able to Enable the Patch to watch scrambled channels. While loading the software make sure Power is always ON and do not touch any buttons while loading these new bins. It may damage you receiver.
From now on you have to use Loader V1.05 to upgrade your receiver for new updates. Since you have loaded the new OSD bin to your receiver now you can not roll back to older OSD anymore. Do not try to load old OSD bin to your receiver it may damage your receiver. DO NOT load this file into any other receiver other than Captiveworks CW-600S receiver because it may damage your receiver.

Now you have successfully loaded the latest software to your receiver. It is now ready to scan satellites channels and have fun with it.

Here is a guide to Scan your Satellites
Connect your sat cable to your receiver and hook up your receiver to your TV set. You can scan Single or Multiple satellites for channels at the same time.
Single Satellite search can be done by going to:
Main Menu -> Installation -> Antenna Setup -> Select the satellite you want to scan for channels and press “Red” key on your remote
Here are typical Configuration settings for a DSS LNB

You can use “Legacy switch” by changing it to “SW21 Dish1” and changing Diseqc Number back to NONE.
-After you have done changing the configuration according to your setup press “RED” key on you remote. It will start scanning all of the channels for that particular satellite.
-You can also access Blind Scan feature from the same screen by pressing “Yellow” key from your remote.
