Service Bulletin

No. : OST-F1272 Date: February 12, 2008

_____________________________________________________________

Model: S-302

Subject: A power supply malfunction occurs due to bugs in the MICON

software.

Symptom: When several hours pass after power supply OFF, the power

supply of the unit cannot be operated by remote control. The unit malfunctions because of Infra-red interference from a plasma TV.

Solution: We corrected the firmware so that the malfunction does not occur.

Modification: Record each new firmware separately onto a blank CD-R together

with the dummy file (adummy.zip) and update your customer's unit. Program Files:

Cautions:

• When recording the file on a blank CD-R, the format shall be "ISO9660" and the session shall be "CLOSE".

• When recording the file on the CD-R, please record it at the 4-times speed of the normal speed.

• When the 4-times speed is not available, please record it at the minimum speed that is available in your machine.

• If the file was recorded at a high speed, such as 32 or 48 times speed of the normal speed, the upgrading may fail due to the data incorrectly recorded on the CD-R.
