Disassembly Procedure
Detaching the BOTTOM PANEL
1.
The bottom panel is secured in place with double-sided tape at the
location shown by dotted lines in the figure. Peel off carefully in the
direction of the arrow.
* The bottom panel may deform or crack. In such cases, placing a part order for a
bottom panel is required.
fig.bottom-panel_85
Detaching the TOP CASE and
BOTTOM CASE
2.
Remove the screws at the three locations shown in the figure.
fig.top-case-screw_85
3.
Place so that the top panel is at the top, then lift up the top case to remove.
fig.top-case-remove_85

Items Required
• An SD card (blank)
• PC equiped with an USB connector
• The USB cable attached with R-09
• AC adaptor
• UPDATE CD-ROM (#17041866)

several times to return to the basic screen.
This completes formatting of the SD card. Next, copy the system-update file.

13
Apr. 2006 R-09
7. Connect the PC to the R-09 with the USB cable.
8. Display the SD card for the R-09 on the PC’s screen, then copy the system-
update file to the root directory of the SD card.
Four types of system-update files are available.
DMZ15.UPD: Update for all blocks
DMZ15_BOT.UPD: Update for the Boot block
DMZ15_UPD.UPD: Update for the Updater block
DMZ15_PRG.UPD: Update for the Main Program block
9. When copying is finished, refer to the R-09 Owner’s Manual and follow
the instructions in “Disconnecting the PC” (p. 59) to disconnect the R-09
from the PC.
10. Turn off the power to the R-09.
System Update Procedure
When performing a system update, be sure to use the AC adaptor. If this is
attempted using battery power, a low battery during the procedure may cause
the update to fail and cause the unit not to operate correctly.
Never disconnect the AC adaptor while the update is in progress. Doing so
may corrupt the system and cause the unit to fail to operate correctly.
1. Turn off the power to the R-09.
2. Using the update-use SD card created according to the procedure
described in the section of “Creating an update SD card,” insert the
update-use SD card into the card slot in the R-09.
3. While holding down the [REC] button, turn on the power.
When a valid update-use file is found on the SD card, the Program
Update screen like the one shown below appears.
* The screen that is displayed differs according to the type of update-use file.
DMZ15.UPD (update for all blocks)
fig.upd-all_90
DMZ15_BOT.UPD (update for the Boot block only)
fig.upd-boot_90
DMZ15_UPD.UPD (update for the Updater block only)
fig.upd-updr_90
DMZ15_PRG.UPD (update for the Main Program block only)
fig.upd-prg_90
If no SD card is inserted, a screen like the one below appears.
fig.nocard_90
If no valid update-use file exists on the SD card, a screen like the one below
appears.
fig.nofile_90

14
Apr. 2006 R-09
4. Pressing the [REC] button starts the update.
When the update starts, the PEAK LED and REC LED flash in
alternation and the contents of the flash ROM are erased.
fig.erase_90
Next, the update file is written.
fig.write_90
Be very sure never to disconnect the AC adaptor while the operation is in
progress. When the update finishes, a screen like the one shown below
appears.
fig.complete_90
5. Switch off the power to finish the system-update operation.
Corrective Action if the System
Update Fails
If a problem occurs during the update, the REC LED flashes and a message
appears on the screen.
fig.err1_90
<< Unsuccessful erasing of the flash ROM >>
fig.err2_90
<< Unsuccessful writing to the flash ROM >>
If one of these errors occurs, take corrective action as described below.
Of the four types of updates, if one of the errors just described occurs during
the procedure for DMZ15_PRG.UPD (updating the Main Program block), then
disconnect the AC adaptor and redo the update operation.
DMZ15.UPD (for updating all blocks)
DMZ15_BOT.UPD (for updating the Boot block)
DMZ15_UPD.UPD (for updating the Updater block)
If the error occurred during the procedure for one of these, disconnect the AC
adaptor and replace the TOP BOARD ASSY (#73129156).
