Optimise HDD

As you record, erase and edit recordings repeatedly, the HDD file system gradually becomes fragmented. To ‘clean up’ all the fragmented files, optimise the HDD periodically. When the HDD needs optimising, a message recommending optimisation will appear automatically. To cancel optimisation, press ENTER. The HDD will be partly optimised.

bNotes

It will take about eight hours to optimise the HDD. During optimisation, other operations, such as recording or playback, cannot be performed.

You cannot optimise the HDD when the HDD disc space is insufficient for optimising. Erase titles to open up disc space (page 76).

Format HDD.

You can format the HDD and resolve the problem when the hard disk error occurred. “Format HDD.” can be selected only when the hard disk needs formatting. Note that all of the recorded content on the HDD will be erased.
