For basic menu operations, please see Section 3-4-2, “Basic Menu Operation” (page 3-23).

Note

After changing the recording time (LIVE DURATION), the materials must be deleted per Step 2 above. It is not possible to extend the recording time and continue recording from previously recorded material, or to otherwise change the recording time in the midst of recording.

For precautions and setup related to LIVE DURATION, please see Section 3-4-1, “Basic Menu Settings” (page 3-18).

Loop Recording

During loop recording, when the recording time exceeds the time set for LIVE DURATION, the oldest recorded material is overwritten, so that even when the length of the recording exceeds preset recording time, the most recent recorded images are always stored up to the time set for

LIVE DURATION.

Loop recording is performed by the following procedure:

1 Set the LIVE DURATION (menu 034) on the basic menu for DTR-1 (and DTR-2) to the desired time.

2 Set DTR-1 LOOP REC (or DTR-2 LOOP REC) on.

3 Assuming it is okay to delete all material on this unit, execute ALL ERASE (menu 099) on the basic menu, and reboot the unit.

*If you don’t want to delete all material, change this unit to the Panel mode, delete the “LIVE1” (and “LIVE2”) material, the change back to the DTR+Panel (or

DTR+DTR) mode.

For basic menu operations, please see Section 3-4-2, “Basic Menu Operation” (page 3-23).

Note

Once material has been recorded, loop recording cannot be turned on or off until the recorded material is erased.
