particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience recep-
tacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should
be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long
period of time.
Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that

3. SOFTWARE UPDATE
In order to update the VM200 software, the ROM CARD PCB (P/N:
8274219000) must be required. Mount the updated software (2 pcs.
EPROMs) into the EPROM sockets (U1 and U2) on the PCB. When
updating the software, make sure that the switch SW1 on the ROM CARD
PCB is set to “EPROM” side.
3-1. Preparation
3-2. Procedures
Turn the data wheel and select the menu “004 Program_Flash_ROM”.
Press the ENTER key. The VM200 starts transferring the program data
from the EPROM into the flash ROM on the MAIN PCB. The following
is the LCD display while updating the software inside the flash ROM.
Loosen 4 x screws (BBT3 x 8 BZn) and remove 2 pcs. ROM Cover (P/N:
8221142000) on the VM200 bottom panel.
1)
Plug the ROM CARD PCB into the J18 connector on the MAIN PCB
Assy. When plugging the ROM CARD PCB, check if the EPROMs are
facing the bottom side.
2)
Turn on the power of VM200. On condition that the ROM CARD PCB
is correctly plugged in, the LCD display indicates the following.
3)
4)
After transferring the software is completed, the following is displayed
on the LCD display.
Press the ENTER key. The following is displayed on the LCD display.5)

Press either the ENTER or EXIT key. The VM200 returns to the initial mix mode display.6)
Once turn off the power of VM200 and disconnect the ROM CARD PCB. Then, turn the power back on again. Next, put
the VM200 into the Utility Mode by pressing the EXIT key while holding down the /-1 and +1/ keys. Then, select the
menu “002 Version_Disp.”
7)
Press the ENTER key. Confirm that the flash ROM is correctly updated. The LCD display below indicates that the
software version number is “V01.02” and its programming date is “990621 (June 21, 1999)”.
8)
4. UTILITY MODE
There are various Utility Modes available in the VM200. Please utilize them when servicing the unit.
The way of putting the VM200 into Utility Mode is as follow.
4-1. Putting VM200 into Utility Mode
Turn on the power of VM200. The normal Init Mix display appears after the Fostex and VM200 banner scroll.
1)
While holding down the EXIT key, press the /-1 and +1/ keys. If the VM200 is correctly put into the Utility Mode,
the following appears on the LCD display.
2)
Rotate the data wheel to select a desired Utility Mode and press the ENTER key to execute. To exit from the Utility Mode,
press either the ENTER or EXIT key in the above display condition.

4-2. 002 Version Disp.
Please refer to the section “3-2. Procedures 7) and 8)” on page 9.
4-3. 003 Erase All Flash ROM.
This mode is prepared in case wrong data is somehow programmed into the Flash ROM. Please remember that the ROM
CARD PCB must be plugged into the J18 (50-pin) connector on the MAIN PCB, so that all the data in the Flash ROM can
be erased.
4-4. 004 Program Flash ROM.
Please refer to the section “3. SOFTWARE UPDATE” on page 8 ~ 9.
4-5. 005 Fader Demo On/Off.
This Utility Mode is prepared to demonstrate the movement of 9 motorized faders. By turning on this mode (pressing the
ENTER key), these faders start moving in the shape of sine wave. The LCD display returns to the initial mix display by
pressing the EXIT key while the faders are moving. To quit, press the ENTER key again when the “005 Fader Demo
On/Off.” is selected.
4-6. 006 All LED Demo On/Off.
This Utility Mode checks if all the self-illuminating switches on the top panel as well as the LEDs used for stereo buss/
solo meters are correctly working. To turn them on, press the ENTER key. To turn off, press the ENTER key again.
4-7. 007 Self Check Mode.
Before putting the VM200 into the Self Check Mode, connect the following terminal.

This mode checks the following points.
• Input status of MIDI , S/P DIF, ADAT and WORD circuitry.
If the above mentioned cable is not properly connected or something is wrong with a circuitry, indicators are light empty.
Otherwise, indicators are highlighted, which means that the circuitry is working correctly. The drawing below indicates
that the S/P DIF and ADAT circuitry are working correctly but something is wrong on the WORD and MIDI circuitry or
the cable is not properly connected.
• Self-illuminating switches on the top panel
When pushing the key on the top panel, the corresponding square icon turns highlighted. If not, switch is not working
correctly.
4-8. 008 ~ 012 Test Scene 1 ~ 5.
The Test Scenes 1 ~ 5 have nothing to do with servicing the VM200. This is exclusively designed for production purpose.
