Note

When a recorded disc is formatted, all the data on the disc is erased. (Locked clips (see page 62) are also erased.)

3-5-6 To Eject Discs With the Unit Powered Off

As an emergency measure, disc cartridges can be removed with the unit powered off. However, the cover must be removed. This operation should always be done by a trained service technician.

For details, refer to the Maintenance Manual.

3-5-7 Handling of Discs When

Recording Does Not End

Normally (Salvage Function)

Recording processing does not end normally if, for example, the POWER switch on the rear panel is turned off during recording, or if the power cord is disconnected during recording. Because the file system is not updated, video and audio data recorded in real time is not recognized as files and clip contents recorded up to that point are lost.

However, this unit has a salvage function which can hold losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such discs.

Note that no recorded clip contents are lost when the on/ standby switch on the front panel is set to standby, because the unit does not enter standby mode until after the end of recording processing.

Notes

Do not set the POWER switch on the rear panel to off until recording processing has finished and the ACCESS indicator has gone out.
