The Retro Disk mode records video in a continuous loop to a user- defined portion of disk space. Pressing Record seamlessly begins active recording. The Retro Disk session is appended to the beginning of the new clip. The result is a set of clips beginning with the cached video and continuing with the newly recorded video.

•When calculating the amount of hard disk space needed for a Retro Disk record session, always include additional space beyond the recording requirements. The added space depends on the length of the loop.

•Loops less than 60 minutes, need an additional 1 minute of unused disk space.

•Loops 60 minutes and greater, require an additional 2GB of unused disk space.

•When looping less than one hour, Retro Disk records the loop in a series of 1 minute clips.

•Retro Disk is available in Local, JVC GY-HD, Syncro Slave and External control modes.

• When Retro Disk is set, the symbols L (Record and L) appear in the DR-HD100 display.
