How to Update the System

Items Required
• Computer running Windows
• USB memory device (M-UF128) (#03906701)
• Update CD-ROM for V-Synth/GT
Update Procedure
Never switch off the power to the V-Synth/GT while the update operation is
in progress. Doing so may result in data corruption.
1.
Unarchive ***.zip files from the Update CD-ROM on the computer's
desktop.
2.
Copy the ***.bin files in the unarchived folders to the root directory on the
USB memory device.
3.
Use the Safety Remove Hardware feature of the taskbar at the bottom
right of the computer screen to cancel (stop) the connection to USB
memory device.
4.
Connect the USB memory device removed from the computer to the V-
Synth/GT, then power up the V-Synth/GT.
At powerup, the update starts automatically, and the LCD screen turns
blue.
When Completed! is displayed, the update is complete.
5.
Power down the V-Synth/GT.
6.
Detach the USB memory device, then power up the V-Synth/GT and
verify that the versions are the latest.
* Powering up without disconnecting the USB memory device causes the update
to be carried out again.
* If the USB memory device used for the update is one ordinarily used by the V-
Synth/GT, then format it on the computer.
Corrective Action for a Failed
Update
Switch the power off and back on, then execute the update again.
* If the update cannot be performed again, it is highly likely that the update-use
files were not correctly copied to the USB memory device. Re-create the files and
execute the update again.
* If the update still cannot be accomplished, replace the Main Board.
