Load Drive F/W
The recorder manufacturer may update the software that is used by the
recorders from time to time. This could be for bug fixes, new features or
format support, or to optimise the recording quality on new media as it
becomes available.
A file containing Global DiscWare approved recorder firmware can be
obtained from the Global DiscWare web site , or Global DiscWare
authorized distributors. This is the ONLY file that should be used to
update the drives. Do not attempt to use any other file, as it may contain
firmware that has not been approved by
Global DiscWare , and may
function incorrectly.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE
:
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you DO NOT turn off the power while this
function is running. Turning off the power before the Duplicator has
completed the drive upgrade may leave your recorders in a state
where they no longer function correctly
. If you are in any doubt about
this, please contact Global DiscWare, or an authorized Global DiscWare
distributor before using this feature.
The update process is very simple, but user confirmation is requested
several times before the drives are actually updated. The recorder firmware
update file
MUST be located in the root directory of a standard ISO9660
CD-ROM. Choose the menu item
Utilities | Firmware Utilities | Load Drive F/W
and
follow the prompts on the LCD.
Load Loader F/W
Very occasionally, there may be an updated version of loader firmware
available for download. This is the menu entry that will allow you to load
this onto your autoloader. For the reliability of your system, only install
official
TCP firmware released by Global DiscWare onto your system.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE

Duplicator has completed the drive upgrade may leave your
TCP Autoloader in a state where it no longer functions
correctly
. If you are in any doubt about this, please contact Global
DiscWare, or an authorized Global DiscWare distributor before
