V1.21 fixes
• If the displayed time exceeds 100 hours,
99h59m59s
(99:59:59) now appears instead of --h--m--s (--:-
-:--). After the time exceeds 100 hours, 99h59m59s
(99:59:59) will continue to be shown.
• When returning the time in response to an RS-232C
command, no response was sent for data exceeding
100 hours. This has been xed. In such cases,
“5999m59s74f”is returned as the data.
V1.20 fix
The unit was unable to read some les on CD-R discs
created by the software called“GEAR CD”. This has been
xed.
V1.15 fix
When executing the RIP TO MEMORY function, if the root
folder of the destination memory card contained 4 folders
and you tried to move the cursor from the 4th folder to
the next position, the unit would freeze. This has been
xed.
V1.14 fixes
• During control using a parallel connector, even if the
signal was connected to GND for 30 msec it did not
respond in rare cases. This has been xed.
NOTE
When recording an MP3 le, it will respond to RECORD,
READY and STOP when connected to GND for at least 1
second.
• A problem that caused the unit not to recognize some
USB keyboards has been xed.
V1.13 fixes
• Changing the Auto Ready function from on to o
during program or playlist playback could result in
playback in a dierent order. This has been xed.
• When playing back an MP3 data CD created using
Mac OS, the same le name would be recognized as
doubled on rare occasions, making playback stop and
causing an – error – DECODE message to appear.
This has been xed.
• When reading a data CD, a
MEDIA ERROR could occur.
This has been xed.
• Updating would fail because a system le (le_list.bin,
for example) did not exist. This has been xed.
