To update the system software of your KAWAI NV10S hybrid piano, please follow these steps:

1. Check the current software version: Turn on the NV10S piano and 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.

2. Prepare for the update: Download the system software update zip file and extract its contents to a temporary folder on your computer. The folder should contain two files. Copy the NVx9_P10.SYS file from the temporary folder to the root (top-most) folder of an empty USB memory device. Make sure the USB memory device uses the 'FAT' or 'FAT32' filesystem.

3. Connect the USB memory device: Turn off the NV10S piano and connect the prepared USB memory device to the [USB to DEVICE] port located on the left side of the instrument, underneath the keyboard, and beside the headphone connectors. Be careful not to confuse this port with the [USB for UPDATE] port located behind the headphone connector block.

4. Start the update: Press and hold the instrument's [POWER] button for 10 seconds. The Firmware Update screen will be shown, and the update process will start automatically, with progress messages shown in the LCD display. Do not disconnect the USB memory device or turn off the instrument during the update.

5. 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 system software stage of the update has been successful. Disconnect the USB memory device, then press and hold the [POWER] button to turn the instrument off. When the instrument is turned on again, the updated system software will be used automatically.

6. Verify the update: Repeat the steps to check the Firmware version in the Menu and confirm that the update has been successful. If the update is unsuccessful, restart the procedure from step 1.

Note: It is important to carefully follow the instructions provided in the manual and ensure that the USB memory device is properly formatted and contains only the required update file.
