This is the original shipping firmware (version 1.00) of the RioVolt
SP-250 US and European releases (part numbers 28260039-00x and 28260047-00x)
only.  It is included for reference.  This firmware will not work with other
versions of the RioVolt.


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_100-firmware.exe (for PC users) or
riovolt250_100-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.
