Hi I just purchase another KN7000 because my other one broke.
I check the version and it is version 1.0
I try to find the version 1.3 and no luck
Can some one can help me to have the version 1.3 so I can download the version 1.4 and 1.6
Thanks in advance

Hi Howard,

I've sent you the version 1.4 and 1.6, you do not need the version 1.3 because it is integrated in version 1.4.
But this version can be downloaded 1.4 and 1.6 to the KN 7000, you must unzip the files on the disk, as I described it to you.

If you do not, the update does not work!!!!!

If you want to download both versions still extra, here's the link:

Harry, What will version 1.4 and 1.6 add to my Kn7000?

Thank You, John c.

I would be interested too, as our KN7000 also shows version 1.3

I seem to remember someone telling me not to bother, as there was a likelihood of crashing the whole OS, requiring professional help to restore, and what there was in 1.4 and 1.6 was not really of much use anyway.

If these upgrades are of use, could someone describe clearly the steps to install them, as I would hate to mess up everything !!

Just keep on keeping on, regards,

John

My take on the subject - "If it ain't broke - don't fix it!!"
If the update goes wrong, you'll end up with a BRICK...... as a few people have discovered

Both my KN7000s still have Version 1.3 and I have no problems. As far as I am aware, the updates only correct minor problems such as errors in the German 'Help' text, incorrect reporting on-screen of the percentage usage of the SD Card and possible problems if you have Expansion Cards fitted. In the past, I had all 4 expansion cards installed (now removed and sold) and I encountered no problems whatsoever.

Hi,

Bill's answer is correct.
But why not use the last official version of Technics?

I know of no KN 7000 player who has not charged the version 1.6.
Many of us also have the plugin.

With version 1.3, task always problems that were corrected in version 1.6.

But he who has no problems with the kN 7000, does not have to upload the version 1.6.

To rectify! If an update is not being played correctly, does the KN 7000 - no - too bad! Simply upload the version again.

I like Bill’s answer but before I leave the subject I am still not sure of what the gain would be. It is difficult to judge and make a decision without having the knowledge.

Going back to Bill’s statement -- My Kn7000 has been working flawlessly so I think I will pass.

Now if there was an upgrade for my dog’s behavior then I would be very interested. Please take that lightly I have a tiny 15 pound dog that loves me -- I think he has already received the upgrade. (Smile)

Hi Thanks for your help If the version of my KN7000 was 1.3
I will not upgrade But the version of my KN7000 is 1.0

My KN7000 has version 1.3 and when the later updates came out, I was also advised not to bother as it could cause unnecessary problems. As Bill says "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Just as a matter of interest - my Technics PR900 Piano was purchased in November 1996 and
the KN7000 was purchased in November 2002. Both have given me (and others) hours of pleasure with no problems at all and both are still in 'pristine' condition.

I hope Im not speaking too soon, but I do wonder whether today's instruments will last that long? Personally, I very much doubt it.

Hi Thanks for all your reply
With my hard head I download the version 1.4 to a floppy disk and run it to my KN7000 and the download was successfull.
After I check the version on the KN7000 and still was the version 1.0
So after I done a technical test for the kn7000 and everything was OK
That means that my keyboard dont need an upgrade. Bill and Roger M.. told me so.
Thanks again
