There are two ways to update the firmware on the R-N803 and R-N803D: connect to the Internet to update directly, or 
use a USB storage device. Please see the Owner’s Manual for more information on updating via the Internet. This guide 
explains how to update using a USB storage device.
See the R-N803 page on the Yamaha website for more information on issues that have been resolved in the firmware 
update and new functions that have been added.

Preparing the firmware

1

Have a USB storage device ready for use.

The USB storage device must fulfill the following 
conditions.

• Required conditions for USB storage 

device 

- Supports mass storage
- Formatted as FAT16 or FAT32
- Does not feature encryption
- Blank (no data stored on the device)

2

Download the latest firmware from the 
Yamaha website.

See the R-N803 page on the Yamaha website.

3

Decompress the downloaded file.

The firmware you downloaded is a compressed file.
The decompressed file (R0445-****.bin) is the 
firmware data file for update (the “****” will vary, 
depending on the version).

4

Save the decompressed file (R0445-****.bin) 
to the root folder (topmost folder) in the USB 
storage device.

Now you’re ready to update.
