The operational characteristics of the processor are controlled by software installed through the RS-232 port
on the rear panel. Updates can be downloaded from our web site and installed afterwards.

6.2 SOFTWARE UPDATING VIA YOUR DEALER
If you do not have a computer or wish to do software updates yourself but still want to have them done,
please make arrangements with your dealer. Whether your dealer comes to your theater to do the update or
you bring your processor to the dealer, the dealer may charge for this service.

For computer and connection requirements, see section 3.15.
Software installation:
1. Find out which version is installed by pressing STATUS .
2. Go Anthem’s web site www.anthemAV.com and locate the latest software. Proceed only if your
version is a lower number, indicating that it is older.
3. Click on the software link. You will be asked where to save a .zip file – save it to Desktop.
4. Double click or right-click on the downloaded file then extract it to Desktop.
5. In the extracted folder see Read Me.txt for the change history.
6. Double click on Installer.exe. The remaining instructions will appear.
Troubleshooting:
If the installer keeps returning a message saying that the processor is not found, make sure that the serial
port on your computer isn’t being used by another application – you must go into the application that is using
it to turn off the serial port.
