This unit records pictures onto the hard disk and DVD-RAM disc, instead of video tapes, then plays back the pictures recorded on the disc. This makes it possible to achieve high-speed writing and read-out that has not been possible with conventional VCRs, enabling recording and playback simultaneously.

NOTES:

●Live Memory Playback could be performed approximately 30 seconds after recording has started on the DVD-RAM disc. However, for HDD, Live Memory Playback is possible right after recording has started.

●Although high-speed search up to approximately 30 seconds before the current recording point is possible during Live Memory Playback, once the current recording point is reached, the unit resumes normal playback and maintains a delay of approximately 30 seconds so that recording and playback can continue.

●Playback may be paused for a moment during Live Memory Playback, which does not interfere with recording.

●Live Memory Playback cannot be performed while recording the source from DV input. (A pg. 48, ADV Dubbing (HDD & DVD Deck Only)B)

●When EE CHECK is pressed to display the picture currently being recorded, the picture size may not be correct.

●Press o or EE to stop Live Memory Playback.

●Live Memory Playback cannot be performed while the DVD deck is recording as temporary recording on HDD stops during recording on DVD.
