•Notes for using the external device
The various external HDDs can be connected to this unit in order to expand the memory or to use as the copy de- vice, however, when you record or playback at high rate, the picture may be missed during recording or playback depending on the external device connected due to the delay of the data transfer rate or respond of the external device.
Check the operation before the actual operation.
•Attaching the HDD and setting the ID number
See pages 20 to 23 for attaching the internal HDD.
For connecting the HDD to the SERIAL BUS port on this unit, use the USB 2.0 cable. The ID number is not necessary to be set because the unit automatically recognizes the HDD attached.
Before connecting the SCSI HDD, attach the recommended SCSI board to the OPTION SLOT on the rear panel, and then set the SCSI ID number. Make sure not to set the ID number which has been already used.
Make sure that the MAIN switch on the rear panel is turned off before connecting the internal and external HDDs.
•The order of recording/playback when internal and external HDDs are registered as the main device
The order of the internal HDD used for recording/playback is: internal A internal B internal C.
When all the internal HDD is used up, the serial bus HDD is used for recording/playback in ascending sequence of the ID number if the HDD is connected to the SERIAL BUS port.
Serial bus ID01 Serial bus ID02 • • • • Serial bus
ID16 (at the maximum)
When all the serial bus HDD is used up, the SCSI HDD is used for recording/playback in ascending sequence of the ID number if the HDD is connected to the SCSI terminal.
SCSI ID0 SCSI ID1 SCSI ID2 SCSI ID3 SCSI ID4
SCSI ID5
When all the SCSI HDD is used up, the internal HDD is used for recording/playback again.
In case of internal HDD and SCSI HDD, the recording/ playback order is not changed even when the HDD is removed or added. For example, when adding the internal B HDD during operating with internal A and C, internal B is registered between A and C.
In case of serial bus HDD, the HDD which is added last is registered last. However, the serial bus HDD newly con- nected can be registered to the middle number. When the HDD being used is set to “Free” to be removed, the HDD added is registered to the ID of the removed number.
