Instructions for Firmware Update:
STEP1 CREATE UPDATE DISC
Download the firmware from YAMAHA website.
Unzip and burn the WAV file onto CD-R/RW as an Audio-CD. This will be your
update disc.
If you need instructions on creating this firmware update CD, see your Personal
Computer ("PC") CD burning software instructions on how to burn WAV file as an
Audio CD.
Note:
Conventional CD burning software is
recommended. An audio CD burned by
Windows Media Player may not work.
STEP2 CONNECT DIGITAL AUDIO WITH BD/DVD/CD PLAYER
Unplug the AC power cable of the receiver from the wall outlet and turn off the
power of BD/DVD/CD player. Then, connect CD DVD or BD player* using
digital connection (Coaxial or Optical) into any input of your receiver.
*Some DVD players use digital
filters, which affects the output
signal of the devices. The firmware
update will not work with DVD
players which use these digital
filters. CD players usually do not
use these filters, so using a CD
player is preferred.

connection. Depending on your
BD/DVD/CD player's digital output,
connect the receiver with either
