CL5/CL3/CL1Firmware Update Guide 1

CL5/CL3/CL1 Firmware Update Guide

Thank you for choosing a Yamaha product.

This guide explains how to update the CL series (CL5, CL3, and CL1) firmware and its built-in Dante

module firmware.

■ Important Notice

・ From V3.10, it was made possible to use a USB memory to also update the Dante module

firmware.

・ Although the CL series firmware (main/sub) can be updated together at the same time by using

the USB memory to update the Dante module firmware, updating the Dante firmware will take

approximately 30 minutes.

・ Although using a computer (Dante Firmware Update Manager) to update the Dante firmware in

the conventional manner reduces the amount of time required for the Dante firmware update, it

is necessary to update the CL series firmware by using a USB memory separately.

■

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

・ The user assumes full responsibility for the update.

・ Update the firmware components one unit at a time.

・ Please note that the device may be damaged if you fail to follow these instructions properly, or

turn off the device or disconnect the cable while the update is in progress.

・ If the update fails, and the device still does not operate correctly even after you execute the update

once again, please contact your Yamaha dealer.
