Timer Control

1. Enhancement. In some versions of the firmware if timers are loaded without a pause of 4 seconds between the loading of each timer the Topfield may not save the timers correctly. I have added an option to enable/disabled the delay to the Timer Control Menu. If the delay is enabled then PBK will wait four seconds before each timer load.

Auto Standby Delay - Firebird Power Patch

1. Enhancement. Firebird has modified some releases of the firmware so that if the power fails and the Topfield was in standby mode when the power is resumed the Topfield will switch itself back on. This allows PBK to reset the manual time however it does leave the Topfield on. I have added an Auto standby option to PBK where you can specify the number of minutes since the last key was pressed before the Topfield will be switched to standby mode.

Pressing the V- and V+ keys on the remote will decrement/increment the minutes. Pressing the << or >> keys on the remote will decrement/increment hours. PBK will not switch the Topfield to standby mode until the specified number of minutes have elapsed and the Topfield is not recording, playing a file and does not have a timer scheduled in the next fifteen minutes. I recommend setting the standby delay to 60 minutes, it is disabled by default.

Playback Stop Menu

1. Bug Fix. The "Trim to end and stop" function would cause the Topfield to crash when running the 23 Jan 06 firmware.

Scheduled Record Warning

1. Enhancement. Timers are now reported at the correct time before they start.
