Notes
• Upgrading of the software for the controller is available
for version 1.11 or later of the software for the controller,
and upgrading of the controller kernel is available for
version 1.2 or later.
• Use a "Memory Stick PRO" for upgrading.
If a "Memory Stick" other than "Memory Stick PRO" is
