The new TASCAM HD-P2 (Firmware v. 1.03) seems to have a problem with
the Pre-Record mode. I always get a "Buffer Over-Run. Media might be
too slow" error message once the Pre-Record mode is activated. This
effect is independent of the selected sample rate and bit depth. It
appears even at the lowest possible data rate (44.1kHz, 16 bit, mono).
However, when I disable the Pre-Record mode, the recorder works fine
at up to 192kHz/24bit/stereo with the same CF cards (I tried various
Toshiba, Kodak and Hitachi cards). The integrated "Media Speed Check"
also reports an "OK" for all combinations of sample rates and bit
depths. So, I guess that the pre-record problem is a firmware bug that
will be fixed soon (I already reported it to TASCAM).
I could also imagine that TASCAM would be able to add a MS decoding
option to the "Headset Monitoring" menu in a future firmware update.
