changed. See page 4 for details.
2) The new "Repro Ubit" option is added to the time display modes on the Normal screen.
The new "Repro Ubit" option is added to the time display modes on the Normal screen, so you
can see the reproduced user bit easily. See page 5 for details.
3) The order of the Setup menu items is changed.
The order of the menu items in the Setup menu is changed so that you can easily access to
items you frequently use. See page 6 for details.

The "Default file name" menu item in the Setup menu is enhanced by adding the "Reel mode"
option to the default file name mode. See page 7 for details.
5) The new "False Start" menu item is added to the Setup menu.
The new "False Start" menu item added to the Setup menu allows you to select whether
deleting or keeping the file after executing False start. See page 8 for details.
6) The new "Chain play" menu item is added to the Setup menu.
The new "Chain play" menu item added to the Setup menu allows you to set the transport
mode after an audio file is played back to the end. By setting this menu item appropriately,
you can automatically play back audio files on a disk (or a partition) continuously. See page 9
for details.
7) The "Set Gen.TC" menu item in the TC Setup menu is enhanced.
When the TC GEN mode is set to "Free Run", the "Set Gen.TC" menu item now allows you to
jam the internal realtime clock time data, in addition to the TC value editing capability.
Also, the user bit setting capability when the TC GEN mode is set to "Free Run" has been
deleted from the "Set Gen.TC" menu item (the user bit setting now can be done via the newly
added "Set Gen Ubit" menu item in the TC Setup menu). See page 10 for details.
8) The "Set Gen Ubit" menu item is added to the TC Setup menu.
The "Gen Ubit" menu item has been deleted from the TC Setup menu. Instead, the "Set Gen
Ubit" menu item is newly added to the TC Setup menu. This menu item allows you to set the
user bit mode and user bit value in the same screen (in the earlier version, the user bit value
setting can be made via the "Set Gen.TC" menu item). See page 11 for details.
9) The "Format" menu item in the DISK UTILITY menu is enhanced.
The "Format" menu item is used for formatting a DVD-RAM disk (or a partition of the optional
internal hard disk). There are some changes in this menu item regarding the physical format
on/off selection, default format mode, etc. See page 12 for details.
10) The pull-up/pull-down function now works differently from the earlier version.
With the earlier version, when the unit is running with the internal clock reference and the
pull-down or pull-up function is active, the TC frame rate always changes in sync with the
speed change. With the new version, the TC frame rate does not always change. See page 13
for details.
11) The USB keyboard capability for controlling the unit is enhanced.
Now you can control the unit from a USB keyboard connected to the [USB (KYBD ONLY)] port
