I haven't seen this mentioned yet.

Firmware revision 2.61 is now available for the 702, 702T, 722, and 744T recorders. This new firmware includes several fixes and numerous additional features. Changes include:

    * fix - condition where keyboard combinations pressed with a connected keyboard (via the CL-1) could freeze the recorder.
    * fix - condition where Windows Media Players-generated WAV files would not be recognized or playable on the recorder.
    * added - periodic, automatic file header saving during recording to preserve WAV file integrity in the event power is lost during recording. Does not apply to FLAC or MP3 recording.
    * added - menu option to allow display of gain settings instead of sample rate/gain in the LCD.
    * added - latching tone - press and hold tone button >2 secs to latch on.
    * added - option to enable tone activation during record. Set in the Tone: Record Lock menu.
    * added - menu to prevent start up messages appearing at power up.
    * added - default ‘tape’ metadata if mid-level (daily) folder is set to none (important for EDL based workflows).
    * change - 10 Hz steps in the tone generator frequency.
    * change - scrolling through menu made more intuitive.
    * change - remove drive repair function and associated menus.
