TEAC DR-40 DR-40 Firmware Version 1.20 Release Notes - Page 2

DR-40 Release Notes Maintenance items V1.20 fixes •• When overdubbing in SEPARATE mode with an MP3 file recorded on a device other than this unit as the playback file, jumping back and searching backward or forward (rewinding or fast forwarding), for example, caused the audio of channel pairs 1/2 and 3/4 to become out of sync. This has been fixed. NOTE about projects with overdubbing in SEPARATE mode using firmware versions 1.10 and earlier •• If the bit rate of the playback file is one that this unit can use for recording (32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps) jumping back and searching backward or forward, for example, will not cause the audio of channel pairs 1/2 and 3/4 to become out of sync using firmware versions 1.10 and earlier. •• If the bit rate of the playback file is one that this unit cannot use for recording (48, 56, 80, 112, 160 or 224 kbps) jumping back and searching backward or forward, for example, will cause the audio of channel pairs 1/2 and 3/4 to become out of sync using firmware versions 1.10 and earlier. Use firmware version 1.20 or later when overdubbing to avoid this. •• After VSA playback, searching forward or backward sometimes caused the volume to decrease during later playback operations. This has been fixed. •• The sensitivity of the tuner has been improved. V1.10 fixes •• If a mixdown was executed when the open capacity of an SD card was more than 4 GB, a CARD FULL error would occur and the mixdown would fail in some cases. This has been fixed. •• Operation stability has been improved. V1.02 fixes •• If the REC MODE item was set to DUAL and the SOURCE item was set to INT MIC MONO or EXT IN 1 on the REC MODE screen, the DUAL peak value in decibels would not be shown correctly on the recording screen. This has been fixed. •• When a file recorded in MP3 format was played back using the I/O loop function, sometimes loop playback did not occur properly. This has been fixed. •• Operation reliability has been improved. V1.01 fixes •• If recording was conducted when the REC MODE item on the REC MODE screen was set to STEREO or MONO, the remaining recording time display 2 TASCAM DR-40 could show less than the actual amount and a Card Full message might appear and recording might stop even if the SD card still had remaining capacity. This has been fixed. •• During recording with certain SD cards, a File Error would occur. This has been fixed. •• Operation reliability has been improved.
