4. Await EPROM upload. Refer to the "Matrix3 Repair Procedures" section for more information. Subsystem Initialization Failure Subsystem initialization failure will usually result in a general system failure. The system will display an error message(see LX-300 Error Codes (p. 43)) and "R...

Firmware Updates Before You Begin 11 Firmware Update Procedures 12 Special DSP ID Codes 16 The LX-DSP, LX-ELC, LX-VRA, and LX-EXP modules load operating system files into RAM during power-on. Thesefiles are stored in flash memory on each of the modules. Because these files are stored in the module, ...

loading the file again. If you use the Erase Flash command for the EtherTracks module and then switch off the LX-300 (or power fails), You will have to use VirtualLX and a serial connection to an LX-COS module to recover. If part of the erase procedure had already been started, the flash memory coul...

After you click OK, a blank configuration will be sent to the hardware. This is to prevent audio processing whilefirmware is uploaded. Another dialog box will appear, allowing you to locate the firmware file(s). All modules should be using the same firmware version as CueStation. There are five firm...

This assumes that the firmware in the LX-DSP and LX-ELC has been completely erased. You must have an LX-COS Communication / Synchronization module in your system since the EPROM in the LX-DSP module is only ableto connect to a serial port. Important If there is an LX-EXP module in the system with an...

Erasing Flash Memory Caution If you erase the LX-ELC flash, you must upload replacement firmware files to the LX-ELC module before it will workagain. You will need an LX-COS module for serial connection or a network connection to an LX-ELC module onanother LX-300 in the system that has not been eras...
