Hi,

Can someone help me with the firmware on my piano? My piano is a 
DGT2IIXG with a DKC500RW COntrol unit. When I power up the piano 
while hilding the play button it says it is version 3.04. When I 
went to the Yamaha page the current firmware seemed to be 1.44. What 
am I missing?

TIA

Jon

Joh,

From what you've described, I'm pretty sure you should be using the 
flash ROM update for:
Disklavier, MX1Z, plus GranTouch DGT2IIXG and DGT7 equipped with 
Smartkey function V3.08 (last updated 9/12/03)

Sounds like you have a GranTouch DGT2IIXG model and this flash ROM 
update appears to be the logical update from your current version 
v3.04.


The other flash ROM update is for:
Mark IIXG Disklavier Pianos, including DGT2IIXG & DGT7 V1.44 (last 
updated 07/06/99)

You'll find the correct flash ROM update at the very bottom of the 
Disklavier System Software update page. I find the titles a bit hard 
to interpret, especially given that DGTIIXG is indicated in two 
places/titles.


I too have a DKC500RW control unit with my MX1Z and recently updated 
my ROM from v3.06 to v3.08.

If you're a member of Yamaha's "DUG" email forum, you could post 
your question there if you want to absolutely sure about everything 
before proceding.  Alternately, you could send and email to Bill 
Brandom  (bbrandom@...)who's in charge of posting flash ROM 
updates on the Yamaha web site.


Regards,

Robert

You're fine!  The "W" means that you have the extra memory needed for Smart
Key and PianoSmart.  Also, you have a completely digital piano with all
those extra XG sounds.  The 1.44 version is for a DKC500R without the W.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Go to the bottom of this page:

You will find the following, including a download link:


Disklavier, MX1Z, plus GranTouch DGT2IIXG and DGT7 equipped with Smartkey function V3.08 (last updated 9/12/03)

I am assuming, of course, that your instrument has the SmartKey feature. If not, I think it needs a hardware component replacement to use this particular update.

Yamaha did not start making control units with upgradeable firmware until the Mark III series. So, there is no version to see on your instrument.

Yamaha lists the DKC-850 current firmware as V3.53 You can check directly from the 850 update menu or download the update to a USB drive and update that way.
