Functions revised and added in Version 2.5

Changed naming of audio files when long recordings are split
When the maximum file size (File Max Size) is exceeded, a new audio file will be created with a sequential number (long recording file number) added to its name rather than with the take number increased by one.

Resumption of audio interface mode when restarting enabled
If the unit was shut down during audio interface mode, this mode will automatically be reactivated when next started up.

Function added to show an SD card formatting menu at startup
An SD card formatting menu can be shown by pressing a specific button during startup.

Naming of audio files when long recordings are split

When the maximum file size (File Max Size) is exceeded during recording, the file will be split. Now, however, a sequential number (long recording file number) will be added to the audio file name.
See the operation manual for information about setting the maximum file size (File Max Size).

Version	Audio file name example (for stereo file)	Explanation
Previous version		Take number The take number is advanced by one each time the file is split. (For example: T001, T002, T003...)
Version 2.5		Sequential number (long recording file number) The long recording file number is advanced by one each time the file is split. (For example: 0001, 0002, 0003...)
