Introduction (new/enhanced functions of Version 2.0)

With the software update of the PD-6 to Version 2.0, the following functions are newly
added or enhanced.
The optional internal hard disk drive and external DVD-RAM drive unit are now available.
You can now fit the optional 1.8-inch internal hard disk drive (Model 9056) to the PD-6, as well as
connect the optional DVD-RAM drive with built-in hard disk drive (Model EX12, available soon) to
the PD-6. With the availability of optional drives, some new menu items are added to the Setup and
Utility modes, as well as some existing menu items are enhanced.
Also, the TC Setup mode for timecode recording/playback is enhanced.
Please read this supplementary manual before using.
1) "Drive Select" menu item (new item in the Setup mode)
Used to select the current drive from among the DVD-RAM drive(s) and hard disk partitions
when any optional drive is added. See page 6 for details.
2) "Format" menu item (enhancement of the existing menu item in the Utility mode)
With the availability of the optional drives, the new "Mirror" mode is now available when
formatting a recording medium. By formatting a hard disk partition to the "Mirror" mode, you
can make "Mirror recording". See pages 8 and 11 for details about formatting and mirror
recording, respectively.
3) "Auto Copy" menu item (new item in the Setup mode)
When making recording to the optional hard disk drive (Model 9056 or Model EX12 internal
hard disk drive), you can automatically record the same audio file to a DVD-RAM disk (set on
the PD-6 internal or Model EX12 DVD-RAM drive) by setting the "Auto Copy" menu item
appropriately. See page 14 for details.
4) "Disk Copy" menu item (new item in the Utility mode)
All the files on a DVD-RAM disk or hard disk partition are copied to another DVD-RAM disk or
hard disk partition by setting the "Disk Copy" menu item appropriately.
See page 16 for details.
5) "File Copy" menu item (new item in the Utility mode)
The desired audio files in the BWF folder can be copied to a desired DVD-RAM disk or hard
disk partition by setting the "File Copy" menu item appropriately. See page 17 for details.
6) "Partition Protect" menu item (new item in the Utility mode)
You can make setting of software protection for the current hard disk partition.
See page 19 for details.
7) "Max File Length" menu item (new item in the Setup mode)
This menu item is available when the Model EX12 is connected to the PD-6. It allows you to
select the maximum recording size of a file when making recording to a DVD-RAM disk (or a
hard disk partition) on the Model EX12. See page 19 for details.
8) "Default LTC Start" menu item for setting (new item in the TC Setup mode)
This menu item allows you to set the desired LTC start time that is used when making
recording while the timecode recording mode is set to "EXT RUN" but the PD-6 does not
receive an external LTC. See page 20 for details.
9) "Set Gen TC" menu item (enhanced menu item in the TC Setup mode)
When the generator mode is set to "REC RUN", you can now set the last timecode value of the
previously recorded file to the timecode starting value of the next file if a disk (or partition) is
changed. Therefore, you can stripe a continuous timecode between different disks (or
partitions). See page 21 for details.
