APPENDIX D

SOFTWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE

The VR240 is controlled by software contained in a pair of EPROMs on the CPU board. As with

all complex software-controlled devices, it is probable that updates will be issued, both to

resolve defects (“bugs”) and to enhance the product. If you receive an update from Eventide,

the following procedure installs it.

Stop all recording on both drives and the internal hard disk.

b. Remove media from both drives.

c. Load the software upgrade medium into either drive. It will take a few minutes to be

recognized by the VR240.

d. You will be asked to confirm if you wish to load the new software. Press the

Yes

soft

key.

e. After a few minutes the VR240 will eject the software upgrade media.

Now you not only have the latest software installed in your VR240 but you are richer by one

piece of recordable media. Disable the write-protection the next time you load the media.

When asked if you want to load the new software, press

Cancel

. The display will read “bad

index.” Press the

Prepmedia

soft key. Format the medium and it is ready to use.
