README.TXT  


When you unziped the CDR400_j.zip file, you will have found a
SETUP.EXE file.  Just run the SETUP.EXE file and follow the
Instructions given.

After running the SETUP.EXE file, you will have the following added
to your START/PROGRAMs/Yamaha CD-R Upgrade Utility. To run the program,
go to START/PRGORAMS/Yamaha CD-R Upgrade Utility and enter the follwing
informatoin...

First: The software will ask for the SCSI ID of the Yamaha Recorder.
Be sure to have this information before running the Upgrade Program.

[SCSI ID] :  	The SCSI ID assigned to the Yamaha CDR400,
		that you wish to update. (Default is ID 3)

[HOST ID] :	This is not the SCSI ID of your SCSI Controller.
		If you have only one SCSI Card, your HOST ID
		is "0" (zero). If you have 2 SCSI Cards, one SCSI
		Card is HOST ID 0, and the second is HOST ID 1.


v) Wait until CDR400 completes the update of its firmware.

After the data transfer to the CDR400 buffer is complete,
the CDR400 starts to transfer the data from the buffer to its
flash memory.  It may take about 30 sec. to complete.  CDR400
indicates its processing by LED blinking.  When the firmware
update is complete, the left LED(ON/DISC) stays amber and a
right LED(READ/WRITE) turns off.

At thispoint, you will either need to reboot your system, or
you can do the following...

	Go to Your "Control Panel", from the to "System",
	to "Device Manager".  From within "Device Manager",
	DOUBLECLICK on the "REFRESH" button located towards the 
	bottom of the window.  Be sure to DOUBLECLICK. Then single
	click on CD-ROM and you will see the Yamaha Recorder,and 
	you can click on "SETTINGS" to see the new firmware version.
	Download completed.
