JVC VR-509E instruction manual Deleting Alarm Lists, Precautions When Setting up Mirroring

Setting up the Hard Disk for Mirroring (continued)

Precautions When Setting up Mirroring

•The capacity of the hard disk will be reduced by approximately half when mirroring is set up. It is therefore necessary to take care when setting recording times.

•Mirroring can only be set up for the built-in hard disk, and is not possible on additional disks.

•Setting the system for mirroring is not a guarantee that data will not be damaged.

•All events logged on the built-in hard disk and additional hard disks will be deleted when mirroring is set up. It is therefore necessary to take back-ups of all important events beforehand.

•Depending on the recording settings and the operational status, there is a possibility that playback speed will be reduced and that the sound will not be synchronized with the images when setting up the system for mirroring. This is not a malfunction.

•If a power failure occurs which the mirroring settings enabled, the re-creation process will be carried out once again in the background. The safety of the recorded data cannot be guaranteed while the recreation process is being performed.

•Depending on the condition of the hard disk, there is a possibility that the mirroring settings will fail. In this event, cancel the mirroring settings, and then begin the setup process once again.

•Recording and playback is not possible when the mirroring settings are being processed.

•As the hard disk capacity displayed on the screen is calculated as 1GB = (1024)3 bytes, a lower capacity than actually exists will be displayed.

•If a defect occurs on one of the hard disks, the function for exporting data onto DVDs will not operate.

•The objective of mirroring is to protect recorded data in the event that the VR-509 hard disk malfunctions. Note that there are cases where operations cannot be continued even when mirroring has been set up depending on the type of hard disk malfunction.
