eight: upgrading the player
software
The software in the empeg car player can be upgraded via
your PC connection. Upgrades will be posted regularly to
the support section of our web site
(http://www.empeg.com/).
To install a car player upgrade, first download it from the
web site. Be sure to read the release notes! You will be
able to choose between the consumer and the developer
image – unless you are developing software for the player
you should choose the consumer image, as this has
performance benefits.
To upgrade the software the car player MUST be
connected by RS232 Serial – the USB and Ethernet
connections will be ignored. Ensure that the appropriate
COM port is specified in the emplode options (although
you can switch back to USB after doing so if you wish).
Disconnect the power cable from your car player and run
the empeg Upgrade Wizard from the Start Menu or from
the emplode Tools menu.
Click Browse and select the upgrade file that you have
downloaded, then click Next. Read the release notes and
click next again. When the software instructs you to do
so, connect the power cable to your car player
and the upgrade procedure will begin.
Upgrading takes a few minutes, during which
you will be informed of the progress. Your
music database, radio presets and other user
settings will not be affected.
Once the upgrade process is complete, the
player will reset and is ready for immediate use.
