Expanding the hard disk capacity

Please contact your local store or service center regarding hard disk expansion. A separately sold hard disk provided by Sanyo will be required in order to perform this procedure.

[Setting conditions]

zInitialization must always be carried out after hard disk expansion.

The <HDD SET> screen

zMIRRORING: When hard disk expansion has been carried out, the same video can be recorded to both hard disks. Accordingly, if a problem occurs with recording to one of the hard disks, the <HDD SET> screen can be used to select the other hard disk for provision of readable data. When mirroring has been set, the recording rate is controlled automatically (i.e., set to half of the normal value) and the appropriate care must be taken.

zPLAYBACK DRIVE: This parameter is used together with “MIRRORING” and it indicates which of the two hard disks is to be used to provide recordings for playback.

zIf a playback problem occurs while mirroring is turned on, change the hard disk used for playback.

zIf hard disk expansion has been carried out, initialization is performed for both hard disks simultaneously, and all data will be lost.

zAll important recordings should be copied to CompactFlash cards or another storage medium before hard disk expansion.

zIf a hard disk not provided by Sanyo is used, Sanyo cannot be responsible for failures in performance or operation.
