•These functions salvage as much recorded material as possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100% restoration cannot be guaranteed.

•Even when these functions are used, it is not possible to recover data from immediately before the interruption of recording. The amount of data lost is as follows.

Quick salvage: From 2 to 4 seconds of data before the interruption of recording.

Full salvage: From 4 to 6 seconds of data before the interruption of recording.

•You are prompted to execute a full salvage every time you insert a disc that has not been salvaged, or power the unit on with such as disc loaded.

•No recording is possible on discs containing clips that have not been salvaged, although it is possible to play back the normally recorded sections. Recording becomes possible if you perform a quick format, but this erases all of the original recorded content.

To restore clips with a full salvage

1 Insert the disc on which recording did not end normally.

The message “Salvage ?” appears on the display.

To cancel the clip salvage

Notes

•The message “EJECT?” appears when “REC INH” is displayed in the operation modes section of the display. If the disc is write protected, eject the disc, set the Write Inhibit tab to enable recording, and then insert the disc again. If REC INH on page P1 of the function menu is set to “ON”, set it to “OFF” (see page 66).
