Software Update Freezes On Avr171/s

I tried to update an AVR 171/S (recently purchased, not yet registered) device based on the System Setting menu. Since then (>50 minutes passed already) the only message got on the device front panel display is 'SOFTWARE UPDATE 192.168.0.100'. The device is connected with UTP cable to the local router. Internet connection is alive and firm (20Mbit/s). Serial No.: AN00183-IF0011729.According to the Owner's Manual I do not dare to power off the AVR or use any of its controls.What to do now?Please help, thank you, With regards,Gyozo
