Caution when performing the update
  • Never apply this update data to any product other than the BR-800. This update data may destroy the data or system program of other products.
  • When you update, use an attached AC adaptor as the power source. Never use a battery or USB-bus power.
  • If a power failure or similar accident occurs during the update process, the BR-800 won't be able to start up in normal operating mode. This will require servicing, so you will need to contact Roland service center near you if this occurs.
  • We regret that we are unable to answer questions regarding the update procedure using this system program. Please perform the update responsibly, following the directions given in this document.
