●If recording is in progress, a [New HDD was found. Are you OK to stop recording and format new HDD?] confirmation message appears.

●Upon clicking [OK], a multipartition confirmation screen appears. (Only when the VR-D series is used)

●Click [OK] to start multipartition. The HDD Utility starts up automatically. (A Page 116)

Memo :

●External hard disk drives can be used without multipartition. However, if any one of the hard disks in VR-D breaks down, all data in VR-D will be corrupted.

●Use each of the “unformat disk” in HDD Utility to perform initialization.

●The confirmation message will only appear during recording.

5 Check the entry in the [Volume] field, and click the [Initialize] button

●The external hard disk drive is initialized.

●Check to ensure that the [Volume] field is set to [unformat disk], [unpartition disk] and [unknown partition]. Selecting any other volume may result in the deletion of recorded data.

Note :

●Consult your nearest JVC dealer or service center for details on the type of external hard disk drive that can be used.

●When an additional hard disk is connected, several seconds of the recorded image may be lost during archiving.

●Note that playing back video recorded in an external HDD simultaneously on this unit and multiple clients may cause delay in the playback of video images and audio sound.

This is not a malfunction and there is no problem with the recorded images. Normal playback will be restored when simultaneous playback stops or when the number of devices playing back at the same time decreases.

Memo :

●It is recommended that a UPS be used to ensure stable operation of the system.

●You are unable to view recorded images on the computer by disconnecting the external hard disk from this unit and connecting it to the computer.

NAS

NAS is a dedicated file server that is connected to the network. In the case of NVR, you can specify NAS as a drive for archiving data.

Memo :

●For details on the settings of this unit when using NAS, refer to [Archiving] (A Page 108) and [HDD Utility] (A Page 116).

●Follow the NAS [Instruction Manual] for settings on NAS. This may take a while depending on the format and RAID settings. For further details, please contact the NAS manufacturer.
