Menu Boot Loading Procedure with USB Key.
Here is the steps to revive your receiver if it gets "stuck on booting" where the display stays on booting and doesn't complete and reboot.

1. Do a clean FAT32 format on your USB stick.
2. Load the latest update bin file to the USB stick.
3. Turn the rear power switch on the receiver OFF.
4. Plug your USB stick into the receivers USB port.
5. Now do a forced load by pressing the MENU key on the front panel of the receiver and at the same time switch the rear power switch ON. Continue to hold the MENU button until you see "LOAD USB" on the front panel then release Menu button. It will then boot from the USB stick.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When using this step, please make sure there are nothing else in the device besides the latest bin file (That is the reason behind the clean FAT32 reformat).

IMPORTANT: When it completes do NOT touch anything UNTIL it reboots, says "power on" even if it says "Update Error".
Sometimes takes 20 sec AFTER you see the Update Error to properly complete.

Thanks to SaCoDi for originally posting.with tip from JimF on waiting up to 20 seconds if needed.

a report:
I can't thank you enough for your method of forced loading. Worked perfect! Had to hold menu for a long time (seemed like forever) but eventually load started. Am now in the process of scanning & have seen my first HD channels from sonicview. Thanks again & hope this might help others
