key repeatedly, the reading of the CF card would not
complete on rare occasions. This problem has been

While copying a folder, the
card that is being written to now blinks, as it should.
Following the cancellation of copying a folder, attempts
to erase a folder, for example, would not complete
properly. This problem has been corrected.

synchronized playback with external timecode to be
disabled.
When both auto cue and auto ready functions were
on, resuming playback of a take that had been paused
in the middle would result in playback starting from

corrected.

rare occasions. This problem has been corrected.
