9 Cue the transport to a spot before the punch
in point, and press
PLAY
(you do not have to

Updating the SX-1 software
From time to time you may need to install or update
the software in the SX-1. TASCAM will send you
software installation CDs when a new version
becomes available.
Follow the steps below to install or update your sys-
tem software:
1 Eject the CD-RW drive tray. If there is noth-
ing in the drive, you can press the small but-
ton on the lower right side of the front of the
drive itself to eject the tray. If a disc is
already loaded, navigate to one of the screens
(
Master
,
Project
) that has an eject button and use
that.
2 Insert the software CD-ROM into the drive
and close the tray.
3 Power down the SX-1.
4 When the SX-1 is fully shut down, reboot the
machine.
5 The normal boot sequence will be inter-
rupted with the software CD-ROM in the
drive. A prompt will appear, asking you if
you wish to
Install operating system
or
Update
operating system
from the CD-ROM. Choosing
Install
wipes the whole drive, while choosing
Update
leaves the projects and audio alone,
replacing only the system software.
6 Decide which action suits your present situa-
tion and make your selection. The SX-1 will
install software in the manner you selected.
7
When the installation is finished, click the
EXIT
button, and remove the CD-ROM from
the tray when it pops out. DO THIS
QUICKLY, as the tray will close (with or
without your fingers) in a few seconds.
8 That’s it. You’ve successfully updated your
software.
The SX-1 will restart, displaying a number of mes-
sages as it does so. Depending on the software
installed, it might need to flash the onboard SH Rom.
If so, the SX-1 will display the message
updating panel
software
with a progress report. It may then restart,
becoming fully operational on bootup.
