FOCUS Enhancements DR-HD100 manual Troubleshooting Counter Not Incrementing

Quickstart

Do Not Disconnect Power or FireWire Cable

Never disconnect the power or the FireWire cable during a recording. This will cause file corruption.

Loss of Power During Recording

If power is lost during recording it is possible to repair the damaged file or files, refer “Repair Disk” on page 78 to and “Repair Clip DV Mode only” on page 79.

Troubleshooting: Counter Not Incrementing

If the Counter does not increment while recording from the camera, it is an indication that there is no active connection between the DR-HD100 and the camera.

•Verify that the DR-HD100 1394 DV I/O and the camera connections are secure. It may be necessary to unplug and then

reconnect them.

When a good connection is made, the Counter increments and recording starts.

Verify Record Mode Matches Source Video Content and Format

If in DV Recorder mode, HD content will not record properly. A NTSC or PAL DV source records only on a matching NTSC or PAL unit.

Short Delay When Switching from VTR to Camera Mode

When switching a camcorder from VTR to camera mode, there is a short (10-20 seconds) interval while the DR-HD100 re-establishes communications with the camcorder. If recording is started during this period, recording is delayed until the DR-HD100 finishes establishing communications with the camcorder.

The DR-HD100 will NOT record a new clip if there are approximately two minutes, or less, space remaining on the internal disk drive.
