PM5D Upgrade Guide

This document explains how to update the PM5D firmware to the latest version.

Precautions (Please be sure to read this section first!)

・ The user assumes full responsibility for the update.

・ You should back up all important data before updating.

・ Make sure to unplug the cable connected to the rear-panel HA REMOTE connector during the

update operations. Especially on the PM5D-RH, this may cause the internal head amps to be

uncontrollable. If this happens, follow the procedures described in the NOTE of "Updating the

Internal CPU Firmware" step 4 to resolve the problem.

・ If the PM5D is cascade-connected to the DSP5D, you may also need to update the DSP5D when

updating the PM5D. First check the DSP5D firmware version as to whether it supports the PM5D or

not, then update the DSP5D. If the PM5D is cascade-connected to an unsupported firmware version

of the DSP5D, an error message “PM5D Unsupported Firmware Version” will be shown.

・ If you fail to follow these instructions properly, or turn off the PM5D or remove the memory card while

the update is in progress, the PM5D may be damaged.

・ If the PM5D does not work properly after updating, and you’ve tried updating several times, please

contact your Yamaha dealer.
