8. When nished, press Esc or F1 on the keyboard. This will show the Seings Customization

Menu again. Select any of the save options.

Keep a record of the password if it is changed. A lost password could result in undesirable limitations.

The Settings Customization Menu option Reset to Factory Settings will make all Setup Menu items

visible and revert default settings to factory defaults.

Factory Restore

To fully restore the unit to its factory ﬁrmware state, hold Fast Forward and Stop while booting the

PIX 270i up, until the Main View appears. This will load factory default settings and restore some

settings that are normally not affected by performing [Quick Setup - Load Factory Settings], such as

restoring the network user name and password to “guest”.

Firmware Upgrades

At times, Sound Devices makes ﬁrmware updates available for PIX 270i. These updates are easy to

apply:

1. Download the new .prg le from the Sound Devices website.

2. Copy this le to an approved drive, and connect to the PIX 270i.

3. Ensure that the power source for the PIX 270i is reliable. Power loss during a rmware up-

grade process can produce unexpected results.

4. From the System menu in the Setup Menu, select Firmware Update. The PIX 270i will search

for the .prg le and give the option to install the rst le that it nds (cancelling this dialog

will cause the PIX to search for another .prg on any aached storage devices). When the cor-

rect .prg le has been located, highlight the OK buon and press the Control Knob to begin

the rmware update.

5. The PIX will verify that the le is not corrupted, then it will update the rmware. When done

the unit will need to be powered down and then back up.

Firmware updates can take several minutes to complete. Never pull power during a ﬁrmware update.

Various functions and ports may become inactive while ﬁrmware is updating.
