3. SOFTWARE UPDATE

The PD-6 software can be updated by placing a software update file in the top directory tree on the 8 cm DVD-RAM
disk formatted by PD-6. There are two ways of copying the software update file from PC to the disk. Read through the
following procedures for proper software update.

3-1. MAIN PCB Software Update Procedures

3-1-1. There is an ATAPI, IEEE1394 or USB DVD-RAM drive exists in your PC environment;

1) Push down 2 pcs. of lock pins located at the lower left side on both
A and B sides of 8 cm DVD-RAM disk by using the tip of a ball
point pen, etc. Then, spin and move the lock pins out and around.

2) Take out the 8 cm DVD-RAM disk out of the cartridge and place
it in the indent of the DVD-RAM drive tray.

3) Extract the WinZip compressed software file “PD6VXXX.zip” and
copy the newly created software update file “pd6mXXX.mot” to
the top directory tree of the DVD-RAM disk. (“XXX” indicates
the software version number. If the software version is V1.02, the
software update file name will be “pd6m102.mot”.)

4) After copying the software, take out the 8cm DVD-RAM disk, put
it back to the cartridge and load it to the PD-6 DVD-RAM drive.
When putting a bare DVD-RAM disk back to the cartridge, be
sure that the side A of the disk conforms with the cartridge’s A
marking.

5) Power on PD-6. In the initialize stage, PD-6 automatically finds
the software update file placed in the top directory tree and is put
into the software update mode. The LCD example on the right
indicates that the PD-6 MAIN software is going to be updated to
V1.02 using the software file “pd6m102.mot”.

6) In the condition that the LCD example on the right is displayed,
press the ENTER key (knob) to update the software.
PD-6 starts updating the MAIN software. The LCD shows “Erase
ROM” (flashing) and then “Write PGM” (flashing).

7) After updating the software is completed, PD-6 is automatically
put initialized, booted up again and is put into the software update
mode. Press the EXIT key. (Depending on the current software
version, there is a case that powering off and then back on PD-6
might be required. Also there is a case that the display contents
differ from those listed in this page.)

8) Confirm the software version by the “Version” SETUP menu ex­plained later.

PD-6 Service Manual

3-1-2. There is no ATAPI, IEEE1394 or USB DVD-RAM drive exists in your PC environment;

NOTE:

As mentioned in the PD-6 owner’s manual, depending on the operating system running on your computer, an
IEEE1394 driver software must be installed in your computer to allow to recognize the UDF formatted PD-6
DVD-RAM disk as a rewritable medium prior to the software update.

1) Select the IEEE1394 Utility menu and press the ENTER knob.
Then, turn the ENTER knob to right to select “CONNECT” and
press the ENTER knob again.
By putting PD-6 into the IEEE1394 mode, all functions are
disabled.

2) Connect the IEEE1394 cable between PC (Desktop PC: 6-pin,
Laptop PC: 4 or 6-pin) and PD-6 (4-pin) IEEE1394 ports.

3) Wait for a while until PC recognizes PD-6 with 8 cm DVD-RAM
disk loaded as an external rewritable removable drive / disk.

4) Extract the WinZip compressed software file “PD6VXXX.zip”
and copy the newly created software update file “pd6mXXX.mot”
to the top directory tree of the DVD-RAM disk. (“XXX” indicates
the software version number.)

5) After copying the software, select PD-6 (FOSTEX FX-FIRE IEEE
1394 SBP2 Device - (*)) and remove it from PC. (*: Drive No. on
your PC)

6) Disconnect the IEEE1394 cable from the PC / PD-6 and turn off
the IEEE1394 mode.
In the initializing stage, PD-6 automatically finds the software
update file placed in the first directory tree and is put into the
software update mode.

7) Press the ENTER key (knob) to update the software.
PD-6 starts updating the MAIN software. The LCD shows “Erase
ROM” (flashing) and then “Write PGM” (flashing).

8) After the software update is completed, power off PD-6 and then
back on. (Depending on the software version, there is a case that
PD-6 is automatically initialized and is booted up.)

9) Confirm the software version by the “Version” SETUP menu.

PD-6 Service Manual

3-2. DVD-RAM Drive Firmware Update Procedures

There are two firmwares for DVD-RAM drive, which can be updated by a similar method explained before. Although
the DVD-RAM drive firmware update will not occur as many times as the MAIN PCB software update, read through
the following explanation for correct update procedures.

1) Copy the DVD-RAM drive firmware update file

“mkXXXrev.bin” to the top directory of the DVD-RAM
disk either by direct software file copy onto a 8 cm DVD­RAM bare disk or by putting PD-6 into the IEEE1394
mode and connecting to PC.

2) In the initialize stage, PD-6 automatically finds the

firmware update file in the top directory tree and is put
into the update mode. The example on the right indicates
that there is a firmware update file “mk0b1rev.bin” exists
in the top directory tree.

3) Press the ENTER knob to update the DVD-RAM drive

firmware.
The firmware update remaining time starts counting down.
It will take about 100 seconds (1 minute and 40 seconds)
to complete the firmware update.

5. ERROR CODE / ALERT LIST

The Table below indicates the error code number and corresponding description. Since the error code list is basically
designed for our engineers to improve the software, the description is quite technical. If you find PD-6 displaying the
error codes, we encourage you to update the software to the latest one first. In case updating the software does not solve
the problem, we would like you to contact us.

disc or physical-format a disc is highly recommended.
Too much disc fragmentation (discontinuous sector region) exceeding the UDF management while record­ing an audio files. The disc on which editings were executed on PC were used on PD-6. This error rarely
occurs. The cause could be other than PD-6.
An error list information "file name.dia" was created because an error occurred when writing in audio data
on the disc.
A cache buffer overflowed and audio files could not be completed recorded on the disc. Dust & dirt on the
disc, failure sectors forcing the frequent retry of writing in data and / or many alternative sectors are used.
There is a possibility that a cache buffer overflowed and audio files could not be completed recorded on the
disc. Dust & dirt on the disc, failure sectors forcing the frequent retry of writing in data and / or many
alternative sectors are used.
The file size exceeded the specified capacity (2GB or 4GB) while in REC mode. Rarely occurs. It is consid­ered that some sort of system error occurred.
A Verify Error occurred when recording audio files. Dust & dirt of disk, failure sectors. Since alternative
sectors are used, this error rarely occurs.

Indicates a problem on the disc. A disc other than the specified one by the DVD-RAM standards was used or
a problem on the DVD-RAM drive exists.
The UDF Logical Volume Integrity was rewritten. The actual number of directory and unused region do not
correspond with the information written in the UDF Logical Volume Integrity, it is rewritten.
The BWF folder does not exist. The disc formatted by other than PD-6 was used. This does not cause any
problems.
Creating a new audio file when REC mode was initiated failed. Disc failure, malfunction of DVD-RAM
drive.
Check the internal backup lithium battery voltage. The backup lithium battery voltage (CR2032 on the
MAIN PCB) might be too low.
The connected DVD-RAM drive does not correspond with the DVD-RAM specifications. Rarely occurs.
Some sort of system error and / or the drive failure occurred.
The system could not detect the DVD-RAM drive. Rarely occurs. Some sort of system error and / or the
drive failure occurred.
The number of songs exceeded the upper limit of 199. Deleting songs (files) or changing the disk is required.
The system forces the emergency shutdown when recording audio files. Wait for a while for recovery. If it
takes too long to write data in the disc, this message will appear.
The specified time is out of region. The specified time when in Locating, etc. is out of playback region.
Restoring audio files failed. This error rarely occurs. It is considered that some sort of system error occurred.
The NP-1 type battery voltage is too low. Change the battery.
Invalid data was input.
An improper name was input.
The internal Real Time Clock is not working. The internal lithium battery voltage is too low.
An incorrect Fs and REC TR setting is selected. Change the FS and / or REC TR setting.
An incorrect Fs and REC TR setting is selected. Change the FS and / or REC TR setting.

error occurred.
The DVD-RAM drive lid is open.
The PANEL LOCK switch on the top panel is at ON.
The Write Protection on the disc is set to ON.
The drive temperature exceeds the upper limit. This message occurs when recording continuously for ex­tended periods of time under extreme hot weather conditions at high bit / sampling rates and maximum track
capability. Take out the unit from the shoulder back if it is in and ventilate.
Power off the disc and replace it with the new one. There is a case that this message is displayed after the
Emergency Stop appears.
PD-6 is executing the post-record when the PRE REC mode is turned on.
REC key is engaged while PD-6 is executing the post-record. After the post-record is completed, PD-6 starts
recording a new file immediately.
