The DA7 Upgrade Utility

Users’ Guide

Introduction

Welcome to New Version 2.0 Operating System for the DA7.

We hope you are enjoying your DA7, and that you will find that the 64

enhancements we have included in the Version 2.0 operating system will

increase your enjoyment of our product. Please note that there are changes

in the default settings of the DA7, some of which will affect how you operate

your mixer. Please take a few moments to review the changes.

This document covers ALL upgraded features to the original DA7 Operating

System (Version 1.01/1.02). Therefore, we strongly recommend that you

review this document before you upgrade your console so that you are

familiar with all the new features.

We also recommend that you print and keep this document as a supplement

to the DA7 operation manual that came with your DA7. If you would like to

have an electronic copy of the DA7 user guide, it can be downloaded from

http://www.panasonic.com/proaudio. Once you have entered this site, go to

the download section and select DA7 User Guide.

Important Notes:

Due to the fact that there are many new default settings in the Version

2.0 upgrade, we are recommending that you do a Master Reset of the

console after the upgrade. Therefore you should backup any settings

in the Libraries, Scene Memories, Mixes, etc. BEFORE you begin the

upgrade process. Instruction for this process can be found in Section

1. After the upgrade, make certain that you look at the MIDI REMOTE

and INPUT MTX windows on the LCD to see if they are properly

assigned. If they are not, please reset them to your desired settings or,

do a master reset to the console to return the DA7 to the new factory

default settings.

There are several updates to the default settings that may have an affect on

the settings in your console. This will protect you from accidental erasure of

any of your presets. After the upgrade, simply restore the data you have

saved following the instructions in Section 1.

If you are planning to use our optional automation software package (MAX),

please be aware that you must be running at least O.S. Version 1.10 for it to

operate properly, and we recommend that you upgrade your DA7 to Version

2.0 for optimum performance.

Some of the features documented here are from intermediate upgrade

versions. If you are upgrading your console from Version 1.01 or 1.02, all of

the features in this document will apply to you. If you have previously

upgraded your console to Version 1.10-1.20-1.21 or 1.22, you have already

been using some of the features documented here in Section 2.

If you are upgrading from version 1.21 or 1.22, you should follow all the

instructions in Section 1, and then you may proceed directly to Section 3.

Preface

The DA7 Upgrade Utility is a multifunction software manager program

specifically designed to allow you to perform operating system upgrades, as

well as backup and restore functions for the library, scene memory,

automation data, as well as setup data for the DA7.

Using the serial ports on the DA7 and your computer, data can be sent to or

from a DA7 and then saved to your computer hard disk for backup and

retrieval. The memories and programs can be retrieved individually, or in

groups. The retrieved memory and program titles can be edited using the

computer’s keyboard. The data, including edited titles, can be transmitted

between the computer and the DA7.

Installation

It is recommended that you perform a backup of your current data BEFORE

you perform an upgrade to your DA7's operating system.
