1. New UTILITY Menu “Edit Volume Lbl (Edit Volume Label)?”
The “VOLUME LABEL” is a name which is used to identify a disk. It is normally named when
formatting a disc. As mentioned in the DV40 Owner’s Manual page 1-5, the default name of
VOLUME LABEL to be attached to the DVD-RAM disk is “DV40-DVD”. This UTILITY menu
has been newly added so that the VOLUME LABEL can be changed even after formatting the
DVD-RAM disk used on DV40. The followings are the procedures explaining about chang-
ing the default VOLUME LABEL “DV40-DVD” of the preformatted DVD-RAM disc.
1-1. Editing VOLUME LABEL
1) While the unit is in STOP mode, press the [SHIFT] key and then [SETUP] key to enter the UTILITY
mode.
2) Rotate the jog dial or press the [SKIP/CURSOR |<<] / [SKIP/CURSOR >>|] key to select the “Edit
Volume Lbl?” menu.
“?” is flashing on the DV40 FL display.
Flashing
4) Press the [MARGIN RESET / CLR] key several times to erase all the alphanumeric characters
named as a VOLUME LABEL.
Regardless of flashing alphanumeric character position, pressing the [MARGIN RESET / CLR] key
several times will erase all the VOLUME LABEL characters.
3) Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
Presume that the default VOLUME LABEL “DV40-DVD” is displayed. The first character “R” is
flashing.
Then, use the alphanumeric keys to rename the VOLUME LABEL. In the case only a couple of
characters are to be modified, instead of pressing the [MARGIN RESET / CLR] several times, moving
the cursor by the [SKIP/CURSOR |<<] and [SKIP/CURSOR >>|] keys to a desired position and rotating
the jog dial is more convenient.
Presume that “DV40-002” is named as a new VOLUME LABEL.
5) Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
Pressing the [ENTER/YES] key will rename the VOLUME LABEL of the DVD-RAM disk put in the
DV40 DVD-RAM drive as “DV40-002”. After pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, “Edit Volume Lbl?” will
be displayed again. (“?” is flashing.)

6) Press the [EXIT/NO] key or [STOP] key.
Pressing the [EXIT/NO] key or [STOP] key goes back to the normal display.
CAUTION
There is a limitation on the number of maximum alphanumeric characters on the VOLUME LABEL
recognized by WINDOWS 98/NT, Macintosh computer and UDF standards as follow.
WINDOWS 98/NT: 10 characters
Macintosh: 27 characters
UDF Standards: 127 characters
Considering the usage of DVD-RAM disc in both the WINDOWS and Macintosh platforms, naming
up to 10 characters of VOLUME LABEL would be recommended.
1-2. Renaming VOLUME LABEL Recognized as “REEL NUMBER”
The “REEL NUMBER” is put on each tape (file in the case of DV40) and is used to identify a tape (file)
with time code information. Putting a REEL NUMBER is substantial when creating a EDL (Edit Decision
List). By adding “-XXX (XXX: 000 ~ 999)” after a name, the section “XXX” is recognized as a REEL
NUMBER.
VOLUME LABEL: ######-XXX (######: Name)
(XXX: REEL NUMBER. 000 ~ 999)
CAUTION 1
Due to the limitation of the number of alphanumeric characters used for VOLUME LABEL recog-
nized on Windows OS, using up to 10 alphanumeric characters including the 3-digit REEL NUMBER
are recommended.)
CAUTION 2
The REEL NUMBER XXX is just a character string. Please remember that it does not roll over to the
next digit or roll back to the previous digit.
The following is an example of renaming the VOLUME LABEL to be recognized as a “REEL NUM-
BER”.
1) While the unit is in STOP mode, press the [SHIFT] key and then [SETUP] key to enter the UTILITY
mode.
2) Rotate the jog dial or press the [SKIP/CURSOR |<<] / [SKIP/CURSOR >>|] key to select the “Edit
Volume Lbl?” menu.
3) Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
Presume that the default VOLUME LABEL “DV40-DVD” is currently set.

4) Press the [MARGIN RESET / CLR] key several times to erase all the alphanumeric characters
“DV40-DVD”.
Regardless of flashing alphanumeric character position, pressing the [MARGIN RESET / CLR] key
several times will erase all the VOLUME LABEL characters. Then, use the alphanumeric keys to
rename the VOLUME NAME. Presume that “DV40-008” is named as a new VOLUME LABEL.
5) Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
By the press of [ENTER/YES] key, “Edit Volume Sel?” starts flashing.
6) Press the [EXIT/NO] or [STOP] key.
Pressing the [EXIT/NO] key goes back to the normal display. If “SRNo.” is selected in the “TC UBIT
Sel?” menu explained in the section 3. Change on “TC UBIT SEL” TC SETUP Menu, the “REEL NUM-
BER: 008” will be output as a TC UBIT information.
NOTE 1
The REEL NUMBER set in the “Edit Volume Lbl?” UTILITY menu interlocks with the REEL NUMBER
set by another UTILITY menu “Set REEL&SCENE?” which will be explained in the section 2. New
UTILITY Menu “Set SCENE&REEL?”. The latter REEL NUMBER set by either UTILITY menu is going to
be the one to be sent out as a TC UBIT information when the “SRNo.” is selected in the “TC UBIT
Sel?” TC SETUP menu.
NOTE 2
When formatting the DVD-RAM disk, renaming the VOLUME LABEL with 3-digit number (e.g. DV40-
005) from the default name (DV40-DVD) is possible, so that the 3-digit number can be recognized
as a REEL NUMBER which allows to output as a TC UBIT information.

2. New UTILITY Menu “Set SCENE&REEL (Set SCENE & REEL No.)?”
This UTILITY menu has been newly added so that the SCENE NUMBER as well as the REEL NUMBER on
each file created on DV40 can be set. The SCENE / REEL NUMBERS set by this UTILITY menu can be
sent out as a TC UBIT information when “SRNo.” is selected in the “TC UBIT Sel?” TC SETUP menu. The
followings are the procedures explaining about changing the SCENE / REEL NUMBER.
1) While the unit is in STOP mode, press the [SHIFT] key and then [SETUP] key to enter the UTILITY
mode.
2) Rotate the jog dial or press the [SKIP/CURSOR |<<] / [SKIP/CURSOR >>|] key to select the “Set
SCENE&REEL?” menu.
“?” is flashing on the DV40 FL display.
3) Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The SCENE NUMBER “00000” starts flashing by the press of [ENTER/YES] key.
Select either the SCENE NUMBER or the REEL NUMBER by the [SKIP/CURSOR |<<] / [[
[[
[SKIP/CURSOR
>>|] key and rotate the jog dial / use the alphanumeric keys to set a desired number. The following
example shows that the SCENE NUMBER is set to “00005” and the REEL NUMBER “002”.
3) Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
By pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, the SCENE NUMBER and the REEL NUMBER are set to “00005”
and “002” respectively. Also these values can be sent out as TC UBIT information.
NOTE
The REEL NUMBER set in the “Set REEL&SCENE?” UTILITY menu interlocks with the REEL NUMBER
set by another UTILITY menu “Edit Volume Lbl?” explained in the section 1-2. Renaming VOLUME
LABEL Recognized as “REEL NUMBER”. The latter REEL NUMBER set by either UTILITY mode is
going to be the one to be sent out as a TC UBIT information when “SRNo.” is selected in the “TC
UBIT Sel?” TC SETUP menu.

3. Change on “TC UBIT SEL” TC SETUP Menu
This menu allows to select the TIMECODE UBIT information attached to the TIMECODE output from
DV40. In addition to the current selection “MDYf” (Month/Day/Year/File No.) and “DMYf” (Day/
Month/Year/File No.), “SRNo” (S: Scene, R: Reel) is newly added on the V1.1 software. The date
information on “MDYf” and “DMYf” is taken out from the internal clock on DV40 and is based on the
time when the file is created. “SRNo” information is derived from the 3-digit REEL NUMBER attached
to the VOLUME LABEL set in the “Edit VOLUME Lbl?” UTILITY menu or SCENE / REEL NUMBER set in
the “Set SCENE&REEL?” menu. To select the TC UBIT information, follow the procedures below.
1) Press the [SHIFT] key and then [CHASE] key to enter the TC SETUP mode.

4. New SETUP Menu “F.Name MD (File Name Mode)?”
The file on DV40 with a previous software version is named based on the DATE information such as
“B09h51m29s14feb2002.wav” and “S09h53m25s14feb2002.sd2”. From the V1.1 software, the SETUP
menu “F.Name MD?” has been newly added to DV40, which allows to select the file name as either
DATE or TAKE. The newly added “TAKE” mode names files with 3-digit automatic incremental num-
ber attached every time a file is newly created.
Refer to the following explanations for selecting a File Name Mode.
1) Press the [SETUP] key to enter the SETUP mode.
2) Rotate the jog dial or press the [SKIP/CURSOR |<<] / [SKIP/CURSOR >>|] key to select the “F.Name
MD?” menu.
The default File Name Mode is “DATE”. The following appears on the DV40 FL display. (“?” flashes.)
3) Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
By pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, you can select either the DATE or TAKE File Name Mode. In this
condition, “DATE (Default setting)” is flashing.
4) Rotate the jog dial to select either the File Name Mode.
Rotating the jog dial C.W. selects the “TAKE” and C.C.W. selects the “DATE” mode. The example
below indicates that the “TAKE” mode is selected.
5) Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
Pressing the [ENTER/YES] key defines the File Name Mode. In the above example, the “TAKE” File
Name Mode is selected.
6) Press the [EXIT/NO] key or the [STOP] key.
Pressing the [EXIT/NO] key or the [STOP] key goes back to the normal display.
CAUTION
In order to name the file with 3-digit automatic incremental number attached every time a file is
newly created, the “TAKE” File Mode must be selected in the “F.Name MD?” and the file itself must
be properly named as well. The way to name the file is explained in the section 5. New SETUP
Menu “DefaultFileName?”.
If the file is not named in the “DefaultFileName?” SETUP menu properly, the file will be named
based on the DATE information.

4) Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
By pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, the file name is defined as “DV40” and 3-digit number “-001”
starts flashing.
3) Input a desired file name.
Using alphanumerical keys, jog dial and [SKIP/CURSOR >>|] / [SKIP/CURSOR |<<] key, input a de-
sired name. The following example names the file as “DV40”.
CAUTION
When naming a file using a PS/2 keyboard, be careful about the use of special characters. The file
name with the following characters are not correctly recognized by the Windows OS platform.
“ / ”, “ ? ”, “ . ”, “ < ”, “ > ”, “ | ”, “ ¥ ”, “ - ”
Remember that the 1st character of the file name must start from an alphabet and the following
use only ASCII characters. Although up to 247 numbers of characters can be used as a file name,
the maximum number of characters recognized by SDII and BWF specifications are 23 and 55
respectively.
5) Set the 3-digit number.
Set the 3-digit number by rotating the jog dial and / or using the 10 alphanumeric keys (001 ~
999). The input 3-digit number sets the number attached to the default file name. The following

“DV40-10”, “DV40-11”, ... “DV40-99”, ... “DV40-100”, “DV40-111”, ... “DV40-999”.
6. LIST PLAY Function
The LIST PLAY function allows to link multiple audio files recorded by the same condition (e.g. TR
MODE, Fs, AUDIO FILE) and reproduce the files continuously while maintaining TC continuity. There
are two LIST PLAY modes; One is the “LTC_Link” and the other the “SongLink” available on DV40.
LTC_Link
In the “LTC_Link” mode, based on the recorded LTC Start Time in each file, multiple files are
linked and reproduced continuously. This mode should be used when the LTC address has to be
matched in conjunction with other equipment such as a video camera.
SongLink
The “SongLink” mode links audio files in the file number ascending order (e.g. file No.1 -> file
No.2 -> file No.3 ...). LTC Start Time will be set according to the one recorded in the first link file
(default setting: 01h00m00s00f) and the LTC will be jammed regardless of recorded LTC Start
Time in the following linked files. This mode is convenient when reproducing multiple audio files
continuously.
CAUTION 1
In order to link multiple audio files recorded on DV40, each SW setting, audio file format (BWF or
SDII), sampling frequency, resolution (quantization bits) and track mode (mono, stereo or multi)
must be the same in all the files to be linked.
CAUTION 2
The message “<<Silent Area>>” indicating no audio to be reproduced exists will be displayed on
the DV40 FL display when in the following condition.
• If there is an overlapping LTC address between the files in the LTC_Link mode, <<Silent Area>>
is displayed while reproducing the overlapped latter file.
• There are hidden files (deleted files) in the LTC_Link mode.
• When the last linked file finishes reproducing.
Presume that the following six files (including deleted File No. 5) recorded by the same condition
(Fs, resolution, etc.) exist on the DVD-RAM disk.

6-1. Turning On LIST PLAY Mode
1) Press the [LIST PLAY] key and rotate the jog dial.
When the [LIST PLAY] key is pressed, the following appears on the DV40 FL display. The default
setting of the LIST PLAY mode is “LTC_Link”. By rotating the jog dial C.W., you can choose the
“SongLink” mode.
2) Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
After pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, “<<Wait!>>” message starts flashing for a short while indicat-
ing that DV40 is creating a linked file list on the DV40 FL display. Then, the [LIST PLAY] key will be
lit solid. This indicates that the selected LIST PLAY mode is turned ON.
3) Press the [PLAY] key.
Pressing the [PLAY] key allows to reproduce the linked multiple files.
NOTE
Pressing the [FILE SEL] key when the LIST PLAY mode is on allows to select either the “LTC_Link”
or “SongLink” mode.
In the LTC_Link mode, there is a gap of LTC address (01h00m30s00f ~ 01h01m00s00f) between
the File No. 001 and 002. Although LTC is continuously output in this section, <<Silent Area>> is
displayed. There is an overlapping LTC address between the File No. 002 and 003. Since a smaller
File No. has a priority, File No. 002 is reproduced and File No. 003 will not be reproduced. Thus,
<<Silent Area>> is displayed from 01h01m30s00f ~ 01h02m30s00f. <<Silent Area>> is also dis-
played in the deleted File No. 005 LTC section (01h02m30s00f ~ 01h03m00s00f).
In the SongLink mode, DV40 just simply links the File No. 001 ~ 004 and 006 regardless of LTC
START address setting on the File No. 002 ~ 004 and 006. Then, it reproduces each file continu-
ously.
In both Link modes, DV40 keeps on playing and outputting LTC even after reproducing the last
link file is completed. In this section, <<Silent Area>> is displayed.
Refer to the following explanation to turn on the LIST PLAY mode.

are completely erased from the DVD-RAM disk. After optimizing, they can be no longer restored.
NOTE
A deleted file before optimizing on DV40 is categorized as a “hidden file”. It can be seen as a
translucent file on a personal computer. (If the folder option “A hidden files are not displayed.”
on the computer is selected, change the folder option setting to allow to display hidden files.) In
the condition that the translucent hidden file can be seen on the computer, display the file prop-
erty and uncheck the “check mark” on the “hidden file”. By doing so, you can restore the deleted
file even on the computer.
