TASCAM website (http://www.tascam.com) to your

computer.

2. Prepare a CF card formatted for use with the HD-R1.
3. Insert the CF card into the computer's CF card slot. If the

computer does not have a standard CF card slot, use an

external card reader, for example.

4. Copy the downloaded firmware to the root file of the CF

card.

5. With the unit’s power off, insert the CF card into the CF

card slot.

6. Turn the unit's power on. If the root folder contains the

firmware update file, the installation screen will open

automatically.

the main menu and use the SHUTTLE/DATA wheel

to select “Utilities” and press the ENTER key. Use the

SHUTTLE/DATA wheel to select “Software Update”

and press the ENTER key to open the screen shown

8. Press the ENTER key to begin updating.

NOTE

Do not turn off the power or remove the CF card during

updating.

Restart” appears on the screen. Turn the power off,

wait about 30 seconds and then restart the unit.

10.Refer to “Checking the firmware version" above to

make sure that the “Current Version” is the latest

firmware version.

This completes the update procedure.

NOTE

The firmware update file that you copied to the CF card

will be erased automatically after installation completes.

Using FTP to copy files

You can also use FTP to transfer the firmware update

file to the root folder of the HD-R1 in order to update

the firmware. However, the installation screen will not

open automatically after the file is transferred. In this

case, either restart the unit or follow the instructions in

the NOTE after step 6 to open the installation screen.
