the source equipment is high and a sound is
distorted. Turn on the Analog Att switch.


SERVICE MODE
TEST MODE
Detected protection history
Purpose
The numbers of detections for various protection processes are displayed.
How to enter/exit
Turn off the power to this unit by setting the main volume level to “---dB” and Multi-zone to “OFF”.
During Standby mode, simultaneously press and hold “MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF” and “ENTER” keys for 5 seconds to enter this mode.
HOW TO UPDATE FIRMWARE
Enter the UPDATE PANEL mode.
Check a current version.
Update it.
Update completed.
(Turn the power OFF automatically.)
Enter the UPDATE PANEL mode again.
Check an updated version.
Turn the power off.
(Release the UPDATE PANEL mode.)
AIN com (EMMA), SUB com (EVENT) and DSP Flash ROM Update by USB Memory and the Confirmation of the Version
UPDATE PANEL Mode (Version update)
Preparations
UPDATE PANEL Mode (Version update)
1. Copy the UPDATE FILE to the root directory of the USB Memory.
Note: NEVER copy several UPDATE FILES to the root directory of the USB Memory.
Copy only the corresponding UPDATE FILE.
Enter the UPDATE PANEL mode.
Check a current version.
2. Turn off the power to this unit by setting Multi-Zone to "OFF".
3. Connect the USB Memory to the USB terminal (A type) of the front panel.
Procedure
1. While holding down "TUNE" key on the front panel, press "STANDBY ON/OFF" key and moves to the UPDATE PANEL mode.
2. The updating process is as follows.
Front Panel Key
[DOWN] : TUNE key
[UP] : TUNE key
[LEFT] : PRESET key
[RIGHT] : PRESET key
If no key is pressed within 10 seconds while booting UPDATE PANEL, the UPDATE PANEL is finished and returns to the normal display. But the process does not become timeout and continues while "FILE searching" or "Updating process".
