E
Procedure for updating
the AW2816 operating system
• In order to perform the update procedure, you
will need an internal or external CD-RW drive
that has been confirmed by Yamaha to work
with the AW2816.
• If your AW2816 is not equipped with a CD-RW
drive compatible with the AW2816, or in case
you experience difficulty with the updating
procedure, then please contact your Yamaha
dealer. There may be a charge for upgrading the
AW2816.
Cautions for the update
procedure
• Before you begin the procedure, make sure that
the plug of the power cable has not become
loose, and that the power will not be
disconnected accidentally.
• Do not perform the update procedure if there is
a possibility that the power may fail due to a
lightning strike or other reason.
• Never turn off the power until the system update
procedure has been completed.
