Intelligent Chip (GSIC) CD/DVD/SACD Upgrade

Instructions: Remove the orange Intelligent Chip from its protective clear plastic case and place it on top of the CD/DVD/SACD player directly above the transport section, silver label side facing up. Then, insert the disc to be upgraded in the player and push "Play" - allow disc to play for a minimum of 2 seconds. The upgrade takes only 2 seconds and is permanent. Note: It is helpful to mark the Chip each time a disc is upgraded so you'll know how many upgrades remain. Furthermore, the Chip "recognizes" when an upgraded disc is placed in the player, avoiding using the Chip unnecessarily.

Once the disc is upgraded, you may either remove the Chip from the player and return it to its protective plastic case or leave it on top of the player and insert the next disc to be upgraded into the player. The Chip should always be stored in its protective plastic case; otherwise the active material in the Chip could lose its effectiveness over time. Once the Chip has upgraded the prescribed number of discs it automatically ceases to function.
