Function explanation additions and changes 00On page 9 in "Playlist function supported," two items related to the cascade function have been added. 00On page 20 in "Support for timecode synchronized playback of all takes in the current folder," restrictions and setting examples related to the cascade function have been added. 00The " . " character can no longer be input for the MACHINE NAME setting added in firmware version 2.00. This information has been added in a note on page 23 in "Changing the MACHINE NAME." 00Two input prohibition rules for track names have been added to the explanation of the TRACK NAMES function added in firmware version 1.50. On page 25, the content of "TRACK NAMES function added" now includes these added rules. 00In firmware version 1.30, the FULL FORMAT menu function has been renamed FULL FORMAT (ERASE). This change should also be assumed when reading "Preparing SSD/HDD drives and USB flash drives for use" of "3 - Preparation" in the DA-6400/DA-6400dp Owner's Manual. 00The following has been added to "Preparing SSD/HDD drives and USB flash drives for use" of "3 - Preparation" in the DA6400/DA-6400dp Owner's Manual. NOTE ii The writing speeds of SSDs and other storage media that use flash memory tend to slow as the media is repeatedly used for writing. When the writing speed slows, negative impacts on recording might occur. Using the unit's FULL FORMAT (ERASE) function should restore the writing speed of an SSD.* For this reason we recommend using the FULL FORMAT (ERASE) function at the following times. oo When writing has completely filled the media oo At regular intervals (about once per month) oo Before making important recordings * Writing speed might not be restored depending on the condition of the SSD (including malfunction and age). ii In the confirmation pop-up message that appears before FULL FORMAT (ERASE) execution, the expected amount of time required for formatting appears as shown below. The actual time required could be longer depending on the state of the SSD drive, so we recommend using this function when you have plenty of time. 00The following has been added to "Settings for IF-MA64/EX and IF-MA64/BN cards" of "4 - Recording" in the DA-6400/DA6400dp Owner's Manual. When IF-MA64/EX installed MADI COAXIAL EQUALIZER (same for both IF-MA64/EX and IFMA64/BN) Set the equalizer for MADI COAXIAL input signals. When an IF-MA64/EX or IF-MA64/BN is connected and a low-voltage MADI COAXIAL signal source or long BNC cable is being used, proper reception is not possible sometimes. In this case, try setting MADI COAXIAL EQUALIZER to OFF. Options: ON (default), OFF TASCAM DA-6400/DA-6400dp 35
