This firmware is posted for reference only
Description coming soon
PROS
Fixed audio not copying from HDD to DVD
More reliable recording
Doesn't freeze during power-on
Allows copied titles (from the DVD disc) to be merged with recorded titles (Hard
Disk Drive) to create one larger recording session. Each file format (Copy and
Record titles must be of the same recording mode, i.e. HQ to HQ AND must
reside on the Hard Disk before the merge file process can be initiated).
CONS
Has short audio dropouts during long recording using HDD, usually on the
:00 and :30 mark. No problem with recording copied to a DVD from the HDD
FF/REW functions erratic
Some have noticed erratic behavior of the clock
Occasional lockup occurs while splitting a recording causing loss of recording
Can not select "weekly" as a recording option if using VCR+ to set the timer
PROS
Fixed HDD audio dropout issue
FF/REW at up to 16X works smoothly
Includes updated firmware for the DVD drive
CONS
The recorder will occasionally freeze at the HELLO prompt while turning
it on, requiring the recorder to be unplugged to reset it. This happens both in
timer mode and manually turning the recorder on.
Will occasionally record with video/audio sync problems. Audio can be as much as
1 second behind the video.
PROS
Facilitates a “Ready” state feature that enables a Power OFF / Power
ON sequence to unlock units that intermittently “freeze” up. This firmware
enhancement replaces the older process of having to unplug the unit from the
power source; then plug the unit back in.
Provides an automatic “housekeeping” function for cleaning up the last recorded session prior to an unexpected power failure (i.e., environmental outage, plug unexpectedly pulled).
Enables the merging of multiple sessions and allows user defined “chapters” to be created within the merged file. These merged sessions must be of identical recording modes (i.e., HQ to HQ). Users can also drop “chapter” marks into their separate recording sessions.
Supports recording sessions to 8cm (smaller) DVD discs. Regular DVD discs are 12cm.
Initiates Timer Recording sessions at one (1) minute after Midnight when the timer is set to 00:00:00.
Resets the default system date and time to 1/1/2005 and 00:00:00. The correct date and time will need to be set for accurate Timer Record sessions.
CONS
Unable to play audio CD's
