Failed Firmware Update
In the unlikely event that the DMXPlayBack does not run when re-
started after a firmware update, it is necessary to force the unit into its
Boot mode, then repeat the update process.
This requires sending a stream of the character "Y" to the RS-232 port
on the DMXPlayBack using HyperTerminal, Windows' built-in serial
communications program.
Launch HyperTerminal from

Communications/ HyperTerminal
