The recording method of audio data was changed from recording in units of 512 bytes to recording in units of 24 bits => 3 bytes / 16 bits => 2 bytes. This improves compatibility when importing files to a PC.
A write-protect mode has been added to the USB mode to prevent accidental erasure when connecting to a PC and to prevent unnecessary file writing from the PC.
The Fs for Digital input is now set to the Fs selected by the Fs select switch on the FR-2.
However, the handling of the status is not standardized by each manufacturer, and there is a possibility that the Fs may operate at an unintended Fs.
