How to Update the System
The system can be updated by receiving the update data containing the
programming (SMF format) as MIDI data.
Items Required
• Computer installed with a MIDI sequencer (UpdSMF, etc.)
• USB-MIDI interface (UM-1EX, etc.)
• MIDI cable and USB cable
• Update data (obtained via Service Net)
Procedure
1.
Copy the update data to the computer.
The update data is made up of files like the following.
V-8_01.mid, V-8_02.mid,..., V-8_16.mid
* The number of files may vary, depending on the version.
2.
Connect the computer and the V-8 via the USB-MIDI interface.
3.
Set the [MEMORY] control on the V-8 to 1.
4.
Hold down the [TRANSFORMER A], [1 MIX], and [TRANSFORMER B]
buttons at the same time and press the [POWER] switch.
The [ENTER] button flashes and nld is displayed.
5.
Press the [ENTER] button.
Ers is displayed, and after a short while, the display changes to ---.
6.
On the MIDI sequencer, play back the update files in numerical order (V-
8_01.mid, V-8_02.mid,..., V-8_16.mid).
The display shows 000, and this value is then incremented.
Updating the system takes approximately 6 minutes.
When the update finishes, CnP is displayed.
7.
Switch off the power to the V-8.
* When you have updated the system after replacing the circuit board, be sure to
execute initialization. Also, execute the Test Mode and make the settings for 01:
Tbar SET(p. 18) and 02: Contrast SET(p. 18). The color system is set to
NTSC after initialization. If necessary, change this to PAL.
* When only a system update has been performed, carry out only a factory reset,
without executing initialization.
Test Mode
Items Required
• Video cameras:
1 to 7 (for INPUT use; digital video cameras with
S-Video output connectors are recommended)
• Computer:
1
• Signal generator:
1 (for INPUT use)
• Television monitor:
1 (for PREVIEW OUT use)
• Television monitor:
1 (for OUTPUT and OUTPUT S-VIDEO use;
equipped with an S-Video input connector)
* For the foregoing video cameras and television monitors, use devices compatible
with the color system to be used for testing (NTSC or PAL).
• S-connector cables:
4 to 5
• Video cables:
7 to 9
• D-Sub 15-pin cable:
1
• MIDI cable:
1
Starting the Test Program
1.
Using a video cable, connect the PREVIEW OUT jack on the V-8 to the
video input jack on a television monitor.
Using a video cable, connect the output jack on a video camera to the
INPUT 1 jack on the V-8.
Using a video cable and S-Video cable, connect the OUTPUT jack and
OUTPUT S-VIDEO jack on the V-8 to the input jack and S-VIDEO input
jack on the television monitor.
2.
Hold down the [MENU] and [ENTER] buttons and press the [POWER]
switch.
* Continue to hold down the [MENU] and [ENTER] buttons until the Test Mode
menu screen appears.
V-8 Test Mode appears on the television monitor, and the version
number is displayed on the right side of the top line.
