RC-SS150 to connect it with a SS-CDR250N/SS-R250N.

CAUTION

Always turn the SS-R250N/SS-CDR250N unit power off

before connecting or disconnecting the cable.

Connecting and disconnecting while the power is on

could cause malfunction.

The RC-SS150 firmware update uses the USB flash drive

or SD card of the connected SS-R250N/SS-CDR250N.

Updating is not possible using a CD (SS-CDR250N only).

1. Download the latest firmware from the TEAC Global

Site (http://teac-global.com/).

Decompress the downloaded file if it is in ZIP format

or another compressed file type.

2. Copy the downloaded firmware to the root folder (top

level of the medium).

3. Load the medium prepared in step 2 in an SD card

slot or the USB port on the front of the SS-R250N/SS-

CDR250N.

4. Set that medium as the current medium on the MEDIA

SELECT screen of the SS-R250N/SS-CDR250N.

5. Select UPDATE on the SYSTEM 2 page of the SS-R250N/

SS-CDR250N to open the FIRMWARE UPDATE screen.
