To update the system software of your KAWAI CA79 digital piano, please follow these steps:
1. Check the current software version:
- Turn on the CA79 digital piano.
- Tap the button in the top right corner of the screen to open the Menu.
- Tap [SYSTEM], then scroll to the bottom of the menu and tap [Information: CHECK] to show the Version/License screen.
- If the Firmware version number is lower than the update version, proceed with the update instructions.
2. Prepare for the update:
- Download the system software update zip file and extract the contents to a temporary folder on your computer.
- The folder should contain two files: "CAx9_P06.SYS" (system software) and "ca99_ca79_sys_en.pdf" (update instructions).
3. Copy the update files to the USB memory device:
- Copy the "CAx9_P06.SYS" file from the temporary folder to the root (top-most) folder of an empty USB memory device.
- Do not modify the update files or copy any other data to the USB memory device at this time.
4. Connect the USB memory device:
- Turn off the CA79 digital piano.
- Connect the prepared USB memory device to the [USB to DEVICE] port located on the left side of the instrument, underneath the keyboard.
- Be careful not to confuse this port with the [USB for UPDATE] port located behind the headphone connector block.
5. Start the update:
- Press and hold the uppermost E, A, B, and C keys simultaneously.
- While holding the keys, press the [POWER] button to turn on the digital piano.
- The Firmware Update screen will be shown, and the update process will start automatically with progress messages displayed on the LCD display.
- Do not disconnect the USB memory device or turn off the instrument during the update.
6. Finish the update and disconnect the USB memory device:
- After approximately 1 minute, a "Boot End" message will be shown in the LCD display, indicating that the first stage of the update has been successful.
- Disconnect the USB memory device from the digital piano.
- Press and hold the [POWER] button to turn off the instrument.
- When the instrument is turned on again, the updated system software will be used automatically.
7. Verify the update:
- Repeat the steps to check the Firmware version in the Menu.
- Confirm that the Firmware version is now updated to the latest version mentioned in the system software changelog.
