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.

Mirror recording
Mirror recording is a special function which automatically records the same data to the mirror disk (*) simultaneously while recording audio data to the EX12 DVD-RAM disk or hard disk partition formatted as the "Mirror" mode. This means, at the end of a day's shooting, the DVD-RAM disk (mirror disk) can be handed over to the edit suite of audio files almost immediately while a duplicate set of recording is held on the current drive (partition).
: Mirror recording function is available only when the Model 9056 or/and Model EX12 is/ are fitted to the PD-6.
(*) About mirror disk
The DVD-RAM disk which is the partner of the current drive formatted as the "Mirror" mode is called "a mirror disk". When formatting the PD-6 internal hard disk partition, EX12 internal hard disk partition or EX12 DVD-RAM disk as the "Mirror" mode, the mirror disk is automatically designated. · · · When the PD-6 internal hard disk partition is formatted as the "Mirror" mode: The PD-6 internal DVD-RAM disk (8-cm) is designated as the mirror disk. When the EX12 internal hard disk partition is formatted as the "Mirror" mode: The EX12 internal DVD-RAM disk (12-cm) is designated as the mirror disk. When the EX12 DVD-RAM disk is formatted as the "Mirror" mode: The PD-6 internal DVD-RAM disk (8-cm) is designated as the mirror disk.
: When the EX12 DVD-RAM disk is formatted as the "Mirror" mode, it is regarded as a 1.48-GB disk, matching the size of the mirror disk (i.e. PD-6 DVD-RAM disk). However, if you reformat the disk as the mode other than the "Mirror" mode, the disk restores 4.7-GB capacity. : You cannot record data directly to the mirror disk alone. To make it possible to record data to the mirror disk in realtime, reformat the current medium as the mode other than the "Mirror" mode. Also note that mirror recording is made only to the mirror disk which is the partner of the current medium (as shown above). If you do not set a mirror disk, the error message appears and mirror recording is not carried out. : In a sense, you can consider that the mirror recording creates two same disks. Therefore, editing the file name, meta data or disk volume label is also reflected to the mirroring disk.
Formatting as the "Mirror" mode
To carry out mirror recording, you have to format the current partition or DVD-RAM disk as the "Mirror" mode. The following procedure shows how to format a PD-6 internal partition as the "Mirror" mode, assuming that the Model 9056 is fitted to the PD-6 and a DVD-RAM disk is set to the PD-6.
1)
Select an internal hard disk partition to be recorded.
Let's assume to select internal hard disk partition 2 (iP02). See "Selecting the current drive" described earlier for details about how to select the current drive.
2)
While the recorder is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the [SHIFT] indicator, followed by the [SETUP] key.

Executing mirror recording
The following procedure is assumed that the selected partition is "Mirror" formatted and a mirroring disk is set to the partner DVD-RAM drive.
: To execute mirror recording, you must set a mirroring disk to the partner DVD-RAM disk drive. If an inappropriate DVD-RAM disk is set to the DVD-RAM disk drive or no disk is set before starting mirror recording, the PD-6 detects an error when scanning the mirroring disk, and shows an appropriate caution message ("Absent Mirroring Disk" or "Un matched! Mirroring Disk").
: If you switch the current drive before executing mirror recording, select a "Mirror" formatted hard disk partition (or DVD-RAM disk) and set a mirroring disk to the partner drive. On the "Select drive" screen, "Mirror" is added to the label of a "Mirror" formatted partition (or DVD-RAM disk).
"Mirror"
If you select a "Mirror" formatted partition and set a mirroring disk to the partner DVD-RAM drive, the PD-6 scans the mirroring disk and "Matched! Mirroring Disk" is shown for a second.
9)
Start recording to partition 2 ("iPO2").
The PD-6 also starts mirror recording in the background to the internal DVD-RAM disk which is the mirroring disk, as well as recording to partition 2 ("iPO2"). During mirror recording, the partition name and "REC" are shown alternately.

If you choose the background mode (i.e. "intDVD" or "extDVD" in step 4) and execute recording, auto copy actually starts when pressing the [PAUSE] key to stop recording. When starting auto copy, "Backup Copy start!" is shown on the display for a few seconds, and immediately after auto copy finishes, "Backup Copy Finished!" is shown. In the background mode, even if no copy destination disk is set, the PD-6 makes recording to the partition. In such a case, the copy data remains internally after recording to the partition finishes, therefore, auto copy is executed by setting a copy destination disk.
: If you execute auto copy without setting a copy destination disk, the copy data remains until turning off the PD-6. Once you turn off the PD-6, the PD-6 does not execute auto copy even if you set a copy destination disk.
: If you do not need to make auto copy, set the "Auto Copy" menu item back to "Off".

Disk copy function
The disk copy function fully copies all audio files recorded on a DVD-RAM disk (or hard disk partition) to another DVD-RAM disk (or partition). For example, if the Model 9056 optional hard disk drive is fitted to the PD-6, you can make disk copy between a DVD-RAM disk and partition, or between partitions. To execute the disk copy function, use the "Disk copy" menu item newly added to the Utility mode with the software upgrade.
· When the optional Model EX12 is fitted to the PD-6, you cannot make disk copy from a DVDRAM disk (or partition) of the EX12 to a DVD-RAM disk (or partition) of the PD-6. ·
You can make disk copy from a PD-6 DVD-RAM disk (or PD-6 hard disk partition) to a Model EX12 DVD-RAM disk (or PD-6 hard disk partition), however, the recording capacity of the copy destination medium automatically reduces from 4.7 GB to 1.48 GB when executing disk copy. A disk (or partition) whose recording capacity is reduced by disk copy can restore its original recording capacity (4.7 GB) by reformatting.

Newly added/enhanced functions in the TC Setup mode
Regardless of whether any option is fitted or not, the following two changes are made with the PD-6 software update to Version 2.0.
1) 2)
You can now edit the default LTC start time. The "Set Gen TC" menu item in the REC RUN mode is enhanced.
Editing the default LTC start time
If the TC recording mode is set to "EXT RUN" but the PD-6 does not receive an external LTC, the internal generator always starts the LTC from "1h 00m 00s" in the older version. In the new version, you can edit the LTC start time using the "Default LTC time!" menu item newly added. The following assumes that the DVD-RAM drive is loaded.
: When a paused timecode is fed to the [TIME CODE IN] connector, the PD-6 does not regard it as a correct timecode. Only when receiving more than two continuous timecode frames, the PD6 regards it as the LTC start time.
1)
While the recorder is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the [SHIFT] indicator, followed by the [CONTRAST] key.
The display now shows the top page of the TC Setup mode.
2)
Use the [SEL] dial to highlight the "Default LTC start" menu item newly added to the TC Setup menu, and press the [ENTER] key.
The current LTC start time (by default, "01H 00M 00S") is shown.
3)
Press the [ENTER] key again.
The second field of the LTC start time currently set starts flashing. You can now edit the start time.

Enhanced "Set Gen. TC" menu item
With the version 2.0 software, when the generator mode is set to "REC RUN", the editing function for the internal timecode generator starting time is enhanced. This functional enhancement allows you to 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).
· Editing the timecode starting value of the internal timecode generator
The following procedure shows the example of striping a continuous timecode between two DVDRAM disks (disk 1 and disk 2). It is assumed that two files are currently recorded by the REC RUN mode on disk 1, while disk 2 is blank, and a new file with a timecode which continues after the second file on disk 1 is going to be striped to disk 2. It is also assumed that disk 1 is set to the PD-6 and the REC END point of the second file on disk 1 is currently located.
1)
While the recorder is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the [SHIFT] indicator, followed by the [CONTRAST] key.
The display now shows the top page of the TC Setup mode.
2)
Use the [SEL] dial to highlight the "Set Gen. TC" menu item and press the [ENTER] key.
The display shows the current generator mode and timecode value of the internal timecode generator. The current timecode starting value is shown as "--H --M --S --F".
· Timecode starting value "--H --M --S --F"
If you record the next file in the "REC RUN" mode while "--H --M --S --F" is shown, the PD-6 stripes a timecode which continues after the previous file. However, if you start recording when "No File" is shown (i.e. no file is recorded on the current DVD-RAM disk or partition), the PD-6 stripes timecode from "00H 00M 00S 00F". If you make next recording, the PD-6 stripes a timecode which continues after the previous file. You can edit the timecode starting value to a desired value if necessary.
3)
Press the [ENTER] key again.
The display shows the editing screen, on which the timecode value at the REC END point of the current file is shown. You can now edit the flashing frame field. The screen example right below shows the timecode value at the REC END point is "03H 45M 00S 00F".

V2.0 Supplementary manual
4)
While the editing screen is shown, press the [ENTER] key again.
The timecode value (at the REC END point) currently shown is set to the internal timecode generator starting time, and the display changes to show the screen as shown right below.
flashing
To edit the currently shown timecode value, use the [|<<]/[>>|] keys to select the field to be edited and use the [SEL] dial or numeric keys to enter the desired value. After editing the timecode value, pressing the [ENTER] sets the edited timecode value to the internal timecode generator starting time.
To restore the starting timecode to "--H --M --S --F" after editing the value, press the [ENTER] key while the display shows the screen as shown right above, followed by the [EXIT] key. The starting time value is restored to "--H --M --S --F" again.
: To cancel restoring the starting time value to "--H --M --S --F" above, press the [ENTER] key while the editing screen (as shown in the middle above) is shown, followed by the [EXIT] key.
5)
Press the [EXIT] key repeatedly until the TC Setup mode exits.
: If you turn off the power after setting the timecode starting value to a specific value, it returns to "--H --M --S --F".
6)
Remove disk 1 and insert the blank disk (disk 2) to the tray.
The blank disk is loaded and "No Files!" is shown.
7)
Start recording while the generator mode is set to "REC RUN".
Recording to disk 2 starts in the REC RUN mode. The timecode is striped from the starting value set in step 4) above ("03H 45M 00S 00F"). As described above, when making recording with the timecode generator mode set to "REC RUN", you can stripe continuous timecode to a new file even though you change the disk or partition. When recording another file, the timecode starting value returns to "--H --M --S --F". In other words, unless you set a specific value, the timecode of a new file always starts from the value continued after the REC END point of the previous file.
