SanDisk Video Memory Card Recorder Recording with the V-Mate, Playing video with the V-Mate

Recording with the V-Mate*

To record a video file, go to RECORD NOW in the main menu or press the record button on the remote control. The RECORD NOW screen will appear and shows a preview window. If the video source box is turned on, the preview window will show the video stream that comes from the source box. Press the record or OK button and the timer will start running, indicating that the video is being recorded. The LED indicator next to the slot in which a card is inserted is blinking indicating that data is being written to the card. DO NOT REMOVE THE CARD WHEN THE INDICATOR IS BLINKING AS IT MAY DAMAGE THE CARD AND CORRUPT THE VIDEO FILE. To stop a recording, press the Stop button.

During recording in 640x480 resolution, there will be no preview window (in the other resolutions there is a preview window during recording). Instead the screen is black with “REC” displayed in the top left corner to indicate the V-Mate is recording. You can hear the audio. To see the video signal while recording in VGA resolution, you can setup a direct connection between the video source box (2nd AV output is required) and the TV (2nd AV input is required). This requires an extra AV cable (not included).

To schedule a recording, go to SCHEDULE RECORDING in the main menu and select a time slot (you can program a maximum of 30 time slots). With the cursor keys and the OK button set the date, channel, start time, stop time and the frequency (ONCE – for one time recording, DAY - for daily recording, WEEK – for weekly recording). If you program multiple time slots, make sure there is no overlap in the recording time. To delete a time slot, select the time slot and press the Delete button on the remote control.

After the recording has stopped and the indicator has stopped blinking, you may remove the card from the V-Mate and insert it in your playback device. Consult the manual of your playback device on how to insert a card and playback video files from the card.

Unauthorized recording of copyrighted materials may infringe on the rights of the copyright owners and violate copyright laws.

In the main menu select PLAY VIDEO and open a folder or select a video file. Press the Play button on the remote control to start the video file. To delete a video file, select it and press the Delete button on the remote control. To see more details about the video file properties, select it and press the Info button.
