Disclaimer ----------------- This file is provided as is. Follow the instructions below to update the firmware on your RioVolt properly. All publicly released firmware versions are available from our website at http://www.riohome.com. Installation Instructions ----------------- You should print this document for easy reference. To update the firmware on the RioVolt, please do the following: 1) Download the file riovolt250_205-firmware.exe (for PC users) or riovolt250_205-firmware.hqx (for Mac users) from our website. Run this file, and note the location that the files were extracted to (for PC users, the default location will be c:\riovolt) 2) Copy the file SP-250.HEX to the root of a CD (not to a subfolder on the CD; often, the location will be D:\SP-250.HEX). Refer to the documentation that came with your CD burner software for further assistance. This file must be exactly SP-250.HEX on the CD; any changes in the file name will result in it not being read properly by the player. 3) Insert this CD into the RioVolt, and power up the unit. We recommend plugging the unit into an electrical outlet before flashing. If the flashing process is interrupted for any reason due to lack of power to the unit, the RioVolt will no longer function properly. After a few seconds, you should see "upgrade" on the display, and the unit will power down. Remove the CD from the RioVolt. 4) The firmware is now upgraded. NOTE: Do not copy other files to this CD, and attempt to use it in the RioVolt. The unit will attempt to flash the firmware when it detects this firmware file at the root level of the CD.
