Recording and Playback

To start recording after a stop in the recording mode, press the RECbutton and the PLAYbutton simultaneously. Recording starts on the P2 card whose access LED lights orange. Press the STOPbutton to stop recording.

Press PLAY to start playback.

Recording cannot be started from the thumbnail/play list mode.

For details, refer to “Control Reference Guide” (page 17).

NOTE:

The P2 card access LED for a slot where a P2 card is inserted during playback of a previously inserted card will remain off and the second P2 card is not recognized. The second P2 card is recognized when playback ends.

A P2 card inserted in another slot during recording of a previously inserted card will cause the P2 card access LED to flash and the card will be recognized. Do not remove the P2 card from the slot while it is being recognized.

P2 cards are played back and recorded in the following slot order: 1 2 3 4 5 6 1

When the power is turned on and the slot selected for recording at the last power off contains the same P2 card, that slot will again be selected for recording. If the slot does not contain a P2 card or contains another P2 card, a card in a slot with the lowest number will be selected for recording.

When a P2 card becomes full during recording, a slot with a higher number that contains a card with free space will be selected for recording.

<Precaution in using P2 cards>

• Format P2 cards only on a P2 card device.
