Quickstart28 ProHD DR-HD100 Portable DTE RecorderDo 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 page78 to and
“Repair Clip DV Mode only” on page79.
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.
