C.A.R. 4000 (English)
Updating the operating system.
Before you update the operating system, you should check the version of the OS (Operating
System) that you are currently using. You can do this by checking
System Info
. Open the main
menu and select
System
and then
System Info
. The second line of the info window shows the
version number after
OS
. The first thing you will need before updating the operating system is
the current version. You can get it by going to our web page (
http://www.terratec.com/
) and
then to the support pages of the C.A.R. 4000. The current version number should be obvious
there. If a new version is available, please download it. The files are usually provided as self-
extracting EXE archives. Run the file to extract them. Finally you should have a file with the
name
C.A.R._4000.IMG
. If you do not have Internet access, please call our hotline. For
more information see page 65.
Now you can proceed in two ways ...
You can run the update from your own recorded CD:
·
Burn
C.A.R._4000.IMG
into the root directory of a CD.
·
Please do not use a
Multisession CD
, because the reduced boot loader (the mini operat-
ing system for the update) does not support the OS file in any session other than the first.
·
Switch off the C.A.R. 4000.
·
Restart the device while holding down the
STOP
and
EJECT
buttons.
·
Now your display should look like the one shown below ...
·
The drawer will open automatically after a few seconds.
·
Insert your previously created CD.
·
IMPORTANT:
Close the drawer with the
EJECT
button,
NOT
by pressing the drawer!
·
Once the OS file has been properly identified, the OS will automatically start to install
·
Note:
It would be disastrous if this process was interrupted for any reason. Your device
could even be permanently damaged by any interruption, so avoid any power failure dur-
ing this period.
·
After completion of the update the C.A.R. 4000 automatically switches off.
·
Finished.
Update with the C.A.R. 4000 Media Manager
The second method is simpler and cheaper: update with the computer application and USB.
·
Start the
C.A.R. 4000 Media Manager.
·
After the application has initialized, click on the
wrench
.
