I checked on the availability of the PianoSmart flash ROM update. For the 
first 30 days, it is only available from your local dealer. This provides you 
with an opportunity to get a personal demonstration as to how it works as 
well as to learn about some of the new software that is available for this 
technology. In approximately a month, this update will be available for 
download from Yamaha's web site.

If you are interested in the more esoteric aspects of this update, such as 
synchronization with video using MIDI time code, you might want to get the 
documentation. You can ask your dealer to order it for you or call Mark 
Wisner at Yamaha Piano Service: (800) 854-1569 between 8:30-5:00 PST. Push 2 
at the first menu choice and 2 at the second menu choice.
