Auto recognition of hard disk drives

When installing an HDD unit while the power of the recorder is on, the hard disk drive recognition process will automatically start. During the hard disk drive recognition process, the HDD indicator (STS (status)) on the front panel will blink orange.

When an unformatted hard disk drive is installed

Format of the hard disk drive will automatically start. When formatting of the hard disk drive is completed, the HDD indicator (STS (status)) on the front panel will light green and the hard disk drive will become recordable.

After the format, the hard disk drive will become a normal recording area.

When a formatted hard disk drive is installed

The installed hard disk drive will be recognized as a playback-only disk.

The HDD indicator (STS (status)) on the front panel will blink green.
