Introduction (new/enhanced functions of Version 2.0)
With the software update of the PD-6 to Version 2.0, the following functions are newly added or enhanced.
The optional internal hard disk drive and external DVD-RAM drive unit are now available.
You can now fit the optional 1.8-inch internal hard disk drive (Model 9056) to the PD-6, as well as connect the optional DVD-RAM drive with built-in hard disk drive (Model EX12, available soon) to the PD-6. With the availability of optional drives, some new menu items are added to the Setup and Utility modes, as well as some existing menu items are enhanced. Also, the TC Setup mode for timecode recording/playback is enhanced. Please read this supplementary manual before using.
1)
"Drive Select" menu item (new item in the Setup mode)
Used to select the current drive from among the DVD-RAM drive(s) and hard disk partitions when any optional drive is added. See page 6 for details.
2)
"Format" menu item (enhancement of the existing menu item in the Utility mode)
With the availability of the optional drives, the new "Mirror" mode is now available when formatting a recording medium. By formatting a hard disk partition to the "Mirror" mode, you can make "Mirror recording". See pages 8 and 11 for details about formatting and mirror recording, respectively.
3)
"Auto Copy" menu item (new item in the Setup mode)
When making recording to the optional hard disk drive (Model 9056 or Model EX12 internal hard disk drive), you can automatically record the same audio file to a DVD-RAM disk (set on the PD-6 internal or Model EX12 DVD-RAM drive) by setting the "Auto Copy" menu item appropriately. See page 14 for details.
4)
"Disk Copy" menu item (new item in the Utility mode)
All the files on a DVD-RAM disk or hard disk partition are copied to another DVD-RAM disk or hard disk partition by setting the "Disk Copy" menu item appropriately. See page 16 for details.
5)
"File Copy" menu item (new item in the Utility mode)
The desired audio files in the BWF folder can be copied to a desired DVD-RAM disk or hard disk partition by setting the "File Copy" menu item appropriately. See page 17 for details.
6)
"Partition Protect" menu item (new item in the Utility mode)
You can make setting of software protection for the current hard disk partition. See page 19 for details.
7)
"Max File Length" menu item (new item in the Setup mode)
This menu item is available when the Model EX12 is connected to the PD-6. It allows you to select the maximum recording size of a file when making recording to a DVD-RAM disk (or a hard disk partition) on the Model EX12. See page 19 for details.
8)
"Default LTC Start" menu item for setting (new item in the TC Setup mode)
This menu item allows you to set the desired LTC start time that is used when making recording while the timecode recording mode is set to "EXT RUN" but the PD-6 does not receive an external LTC. See page 20 for details.
9)
"Set Gen TC" menu item (enhanced menu item in the TC Setup mode)
When the generator mode is set to "REC RUN", you can now set the last timecode value of the previously recorded file to the timecode starting value of the next file if a disk (or partition) is changed. Therefore, you can stripe a continuous timecode between different disks (or partitions). See page 21 for details.

Available options
Model 9056 (internal 1.8-inch hard disk drive for the PD-6)
The Model 9056 is the internal 1.8-inch hard disk drive for the PD-6. By fitting the Model 9056 to the PD-6, you now have a choice of recording mediums from among hard disk partitions and a DVD-RAM disk. By formatting a hard disk partition as the "Mirror mode" which is newly added to format mode options for the "Format" menu item in the Utility mode, you can make "mirror" recording to the DVD-RAM disk set to the PD-6 in the background. In addition, you can carry out auto copy, disk copy and file copy between a DVD-RAM disk and a partition.
Model 9056
HDD
The Model 9056 is fitted by local Fostex distributor's service department or their authorized service agent. Note that the hard disk drive is already formatted when delivered. The Model 9056 hard disk drive is formatted as the "Normal mode" and automatically divided into partitions. Each "Normal mode" partition has approximately 1.48-GB recording capacity. The Model 9056 hard disk drive has 40-GB capacity and is divided into twenty-seven 1.48-GB partitions (matching the size of a single-sided 8-cm DVD-RAM disk) when formatted. Therefore, it can be regarded as if the 9056 has twenty-seven 1.48-GB DVD-RAM disks.

Model EX12 (DVD-RAM drive unit with built-in hard disk drive): available soon
The Model EX12, the ideal partner of the PD-6, is an external DVD-RAM drive unit with a builtin 2.5-inch 40-GB hard disk drive. By connecting the EX12 to the PD-6, you have a choice of three recording mediums: the PD-6 internal DVD-RAM drive, EX12 DVD-RAM drive and EX12 hard disk drive. Therefore, if the Model 9056 is also fitted to the PD-6, you have a choice of four recording mediums. By connecting the EX12 to the PD-6, as with the 9056, you can carry out mirror recording, auto copy, disk copy and file copy. The Model EX12 also provides the IEEE1394 and USB ports for PC connection, which allows you to export audio file data recorded on a DVD-RAM disk set to the EX12 to the PC. Note that a PC cannot access to the PD-6 hard disk drive or EX12 hard disk drive.
: For details about how to export audio files on a DVD-RAM disk set to the PD-6 or EX12 to your PC, see the Model EX12 owner's manual.

Docking the PD-6 to the EX12
: When the EX12 is connected to the PD-6, turn on the EX12 first, followed by the PD6. : For details about how to dock the PD-6 to the EX12, as well as about the EX12 functions, see the EX12 owner's manual.
The EX12 internal 40-GB hard disk drive is formatted when shipped (note that you have to format a 12-cm DVD-RAM disk before it is used with the EX12), and divided into "Normal mode" partitions, as with the Model 9056. However, unlike the Model 9056, each partition of the Model EX12 hard disk drive has 4.7-GB recording capacity (matching the size of a single-sided 12-cm DVD-RAM disk). Therefore, it can be regarded as if the EX12 hard disk has eight 4.7-GB 12-cm DVD-RAM disks.

Selecting the current drive
When the Model 9056 or/and Model EX12 is/are fitted to the PD-6, you have to select the current drive (a DVD-RAM drive or hard disk partition). The following shows the procedure of selecting the current drive assuming that the Model 9056 is fitted to the PD-6. It is also assumed that a formatted blank 8-cm DVD-RAM disk is set to the PD-6 DVD-RAM drive and the PD-6 DVD-RAM drive is selected as the current drive ("No Files!" is shown on the screen, as the screen example below).
: With the PD-6 software update, the current drive name is shown beside the remaining time indication on the Normal screen. On the screen example right, "iDVD" (which stands for internal DVD-RAM drive) is shown.
: If the PD-6 starts up while an unformatted disk is set to the internal DVD-RAM drive, the message as shown right appears on the display after loading the disk. In this case, press the [ENTER] key and format the DVD-RAM disk by following the procedure shown on page 8. (If the Model EX12 DVD-RAM drive is selected as the current drive and an unformatted disk is set to the EX12 DVD-RAM drive, carry out the similar operation.)
How to select the current drive
1) While the recorder is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the [SHIFT] indicator, followed by the [LIGHT] key.
The display now shows the top page of the "Select drive" screen, which is newly added to the Setup mode. In this screen, the available drive/partition list is shown. On the screen example below, the PD-6 DVD-RAM drive is selected as the current drive ("MAIN DVD Drive" is highlighted). Partitions of the Model 9056 are also shown in the list, which you can select among from.
: You can also bring up the "Select drive" screen above using the same procedure as with other Setup menu items (by pressing the [SETUP] key, using the [SEL] dial to highlight "Select drive", and then pressing the [ENTER] key).
2)
Use the [SEL] dial to highlight the desired drive or partition.
By rotating the [SEL] dial, you can select the current drive among from "iP01" through "iP27", as well as "MAIN DVD Drive". Twenty-seven partitions are available in the optional Model 9056 and each partition has its default "reel number (volume label)".

: The following shows the contents of the available drive/partition list on the "Select drive" menu screen in the cases when only the Model EX12 is fitted to the PD6 and when both the Model EX12 and Model 9056 are fitted to the PD-6.
In addition to "MAIN DVD Drive", you have a choice from among "EXT DVD Drive" (EX12 DVD-RAM drive) and "eP01" through "eP08" (EX12 hard disk partitions).
You have a choice from among "MAIN DVD Drive", "iP01" through "iP27" (Model 9056 hard ...
