DVD_LINK.EXE
600MK113.BIN

Go to DOS prompt from Windows.
Insert the floppy disc. Change the directory to locate the 3 ½” floppy disc drive.
At the A: prompt (or whatever designator your 3 ½” floppy disc drive is), type:

Be sure to leave a space between “link” and “600”.

Or, Upgrade from your computer’s Hard Drive:

Create a new subdirectory and copy the two files above to a new subdirectory you will name.
Once the files are copied there, on your hard drive:
Go to DOS prompt from Windows. Change the directory to locate the new subdirectory you have named,

dvd_link 600mk113.bin

Be sure to leave a space between “link” and “600”.

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Plug the unconnected end of the gray parallel port cable, connected to the Upgrade Interface PCB, into

your computer LPT1 port (unplug printer or any other cable already connected there, if necessary).
Computer must be configured so it is recognizing the LPT1 port. (or LPT2 port if you choose)

2) Remove any CD/DVD/VCD discs that may be in the DVD600II.
3) Unplug the AC power cord from the Unit Under Test; the MAIN AC POWER SWITCH should be pressed

until it pops out from the front panel, so that the word “OFF” may be read at the top of the switch (top
button on the left side – not the button marked POWER).

4) Turn the unit on it’s side so the bottom panel faces you; slightly off-center is a rectangular access hole

covered by a black ¾ x 1 ¼” cover; remove the cover. Inside is a female ribbon cable connector.

5) Carefully plug the male 15-conductor cable from the Upgrade Interface PCB into this connector.

IMPORTANT: Assure the bare (uninsulated) side of the cable end faces the front of the unit.

6) Plug in the AC power cord; depress the MAIN AC POWER SWITCH ONLY (top button – not the button

marked POWER). Do not press any other buttons or controls. Orange Power indicator should be ON.

7) The red LED on the Interface PCB should be ON.

8) Follow one of the two methods mentioned above to load the software. Hit Enter on your computer

keyboard.

9) You should get a prompt: “Do you want to program Flash Memory ?” Press “Y” for Yes.
10) Upgrade process should begin. You will see more prompts, but no other action is necessary; there will be

a number counting up on-screen. LED’s on the Upgrade Interface PCB should blink Red & Green
alternately. The process should take about two minutes.

11) The upgrade is complete when the DOS prompt: “Complete !” or “DVD5link” is displayed.
12) Turn the MAIN AC POWER SWITCH off; unplug the ribbon cable, and replace the black cover. Set the

unit back level, flat on its feet.
