Appendix 2 - Firmware Updates
Appendix 2 - Firmware Updates
As a responsible manufacturer, HHB adopts a policy of
continuous product development. As with all software-based
products, it may be desirable from time to time to update the
firmware in your UDP-89 with a more recent version. You can
contact your HHB dealer or distributor, or visit the HHB website
at www.hhb.co.uk for details.
Firmware updates are downloadable from the HHB website,
or if you prefer, from your local dealer/distributor on a CD.
Alternatively, if you are uncertain about performing a firmware
update yourself, take your UDP-89 to your HHB dealer, who will
be happy to do it for you.
Performing a firmware update restores all menu settings to
their original factory defaults. If you are used to using your
UDP-89 for one particular type of work, it may be worthwhile
checking through the menus and noting the current settings so
that they can be easily restored after the update.
Updating the firmware requires a PC or Mac fitted with a CD-
(or DVD-) writer drive, and a CD-writing software application.
We recommend you read through the instructions below before
performing an update for the first time.
To perform a firmware update, proceed as follows:
Download the new firmware file from www.hhb.co.uk. Save •
it to a suitable location.
Using the CD burning application you have on your
•
computer (such as Roxio, Nero etc.), create a CD
containing the update files BUILD.IMG and UPDATE.VER.
The CD must be a data CD, not an audio CD, and the
update files must be the only ones on the CD.
Turn on the UDP-89, put the burnt update disc into the
•
drive and close the tray. After the disc has been read, a
dialogue screen will be displayed asking for confirmation to
update the firmware. Select START using the cursor and
MARK/ENTER keys.
The firmware update will now proceed automatically. After
•
a short while, the disc will eject. Remove the disc from the
tray and then leave the unit alone. Do not close the disc
drawer.
During the update procedure, it is essential that the power
•
supply to the CDR-882 is not interrupted. Should this
occur, the unit will be rendered unusable and will require
factory re-initialisation.
The UDP-89 will reboot automatically once the update
•
procedure is complete. This may take up to 5 minutes.
If the UDP-89 has not rebooted automatically after 15
•
minutes or so, please re-power manually using the front
panel power switch.
Software version checks
It may be useful to check which version of firmware is installed in
the UDP-89. This procedure can be carried out after a firmware
update to confirm that the update has been correctly loaded.
The checks below will only be performed if there is no disc in the
disc drawer – i.e., the front panel display must show No Disc.
To check the version of the main CPU, enter the 4-digit •
number 1234, using the remote control unit. The
firmware version is shown in the front panel display.
To check the version of the separate MPEG processor,
•
enter the 3-digit number 164 using the remote control
unit. The version number is shown in the front panel
display.
