[ Ver.1.033 ]
Additional Functions

• A function for detecting an abnormal state in the network or timer feature and executing an automatic reset was added.
• An "RB" command for resetting the network and timer function was added to the Telnet and RS-232C commands.

Functionality Improvement

• The operation of the "PLL" and "PLR" Telnet and RS-232C commands for Dual Mono playback was improved to resemble the operation on the AR-3000R.

Bug Fixes
The following bugs were fixed.

• After repeated Telnet connections and disconnections, connection becomes impossible.
• After repeated FTP connections and disconnections within a brief interval, sometimes FTP connection becomes impossible or file names on the card are displayed completely in lower case.
• When the timing of stopping playback and of processing overlaps, the state of the Control Input terminals is sometimes not correctly updated.
• When control is performed using Direct Playback (last-in playback) while in the Dual Mono mode, BUSY/CONT is not output correctly.
• Settings during recording are not saved on the card.
• Recording shorter than 5 seconds is impossible when the recording format is MP3.

[ Ver.1.027 ]
Bug Fixes
The following bugs were fixed.

• When a playback command is received during sequential playback of multiple phrases by an RS-232C/Telnet command, processing is sometimes interrupted with no busy error generated.
• The message "Incorrect format. Format card." is sometimes displayed after establishment of an FTP connection.

Functionality Improvement

• A parameter for setting busy output to ON or OFF during recording was added.
  ("During Phr.Rec" in "9.4 Busy Out")

[ Ver.1.025 ]
Bug Fixes
The following bugs were fixed.

• The problem of failure to correctly process a Telnet control command after receiving an option command was corrected.

Functionality Improvements

• Processing in the event of a time change while the timer function is in use was improved.
  Before this, events near the time before the change were processed, but from ver. 1.025 and after, events near the time after the change are processed.
• RS-232C/Telnet/timer control can be performed during MENU list view.

[ Ver.1.024 ]
Bug Fixes
The following bugs were fixed.

• Reception processing for long TELNET commands experienced problems. The problems in TELNET command reception processing were corrected.

[ Ver.1.023 ]
Functionality Improvements

• A function capable of specifying a phrase was added to RS-232C/Telnet PL and PLB commands.
• Binary control response was improved. The intended phrase number is now specifiable even when the phrase-specification setup time is shorter than the rated time.
• The following functioning was added to improve FTP response.
  ・A setting was added for specifying whether to perform processing for mounting for FTP at startup.
  ・Processing for card mounting was improved.
  ・Processing for FTP connection and disconnection was improved.
• The ability to accomplish AR-200R phrase selection using the MIDI LINK function was added.

Bug Fixes
The following bugs were fixed.

• System lockup sometimes occurs during execution of RS-232C/Telnet editing or setting commands.
• The AES/EBU OUT setting is sometimes reset on FTP disconnection.
• A phrase of the wrong number is sometimes played after powerup with the control connector in make-contact state.
• Correct card recognitions sometimes fails after repeated FTP connection and disconnection or card insertion and ejection.
• Network cable disconnection or computer shutdown during a Telnet connection results in failure of the AR-3000SD to establish a Telnet connection thereafter.
• Programmable timer events sometimes fail to be executed.
• Updating of a saved phrase settings file sometimes fails when the data saved in the phrase settings file is inconsistent with actual phrase information.
• An error was present in the delay time of SU phrase settings output obtained by the RS-232C/Telnet PQ phrase settings request command.
• Receiving an RS-232C/Telnet settings command while dark due to display auto-off results in termination of display auto-off.
• Pattern phrases created using the AR-3000 sometimes fail to be played correctly.

[ Ver.1.010 ]
Functionality Improvements

• The playback volume level for audio phrases can now be saved on a card.
• Support was added for AR-2000-compatible commands for the RS-232C interface.
• In "card copy," programmable-timer settings are now also copied.
• At the dialog box for saving MENU settings, the [ BACK ] button can also now be used to cancel saving.
• TELNET echo control was improved for greater compatibility with the AR-3000R.

Bug Fixes
The following bugs were fixed.
