DISK OVERWRITE MODE

SELECT MODE

CONTINUOUS OVERWRITE

•Overwrite Once. Recording always starts at the end of the last recording. The unit overwrites all previously recorded data, then stops before it overwrites any newly recorded data (from the current record session). When the end of the disk is reached, the unit displays an on-screen message stating that the disk is full. You must acknowledge the message by pressing ENTER. Note that recording will not continue until RECORD is pressed.

•Continuous Overwrite. Recording always starts at the end of the last recording. When the disk is full, recording continues by overwriting the oldest video first. In this mode, the unit never stops recording (note that the LCD display does not count down the remaining time till the hard disk is full).
