Flash ROM Update

2003-12-04 by rrl_edm

Hi.

I have a Disklavier MX1Z upright and I'm wondering if anyone knows 
whether there are any flash ROM updates to the DKC500RWXR control 
unit that I should install?  My current flash ROM version is v3.06.  
My MX1Z does not have the SmartKey feature, DCD-1 or anything other 
than the original control unit.

I tried using the URL provided in the links section, but it no 
longer works.  If someone wants to update the link, the proper URL 
is now:
http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/CDA/ContentDetail/Text_WithCatMenu_XC
/0,6380,CNTID%253D12177%2526CTID%253D410015%2526VNM%253DLIVE%
2526AFLG%253DY,00.html

From the Yamaha Disklavier Software update site, it appears that 
flash ROM v3.08 is specifically for the SmartKey function, so 
presumably it would not benefit me.  Any comments?

Out of curiosity, I downloaded the update just to review 
the `README.TXT' file.  The instructions indicate that the update is 
for pianos equipped with the SmartKey function, so I didn't install 
the update.  In any event, I find the third step provided in the 
instructions a bit confusing.  It reads:

   "The control unit's current flash ROM version is 
    displayed. Make sure that the displayed version # 
    is less than 3.08. If it is, continue with the steps 
    below. If the version displayed is 3.06 or higher, 
    there is no reason to continue with this update. The 
    control unit has had this update already installed 
    or has had a newer update installed."

My problem is this.  The instruction says to proceed if your flash 
ROM is less than v3.08.  Then, the next sentence says that if the 
ROM version displayed is 3.06 or higher, there is no reason to 
continue with this update?  Is this a typo?
