resume when the unit is powered on again.
4 Replace the rubber cap, and close the cover.
3-5-7 Handling of Discs
When Recording Does Not
End Normally (Salvage
Function)
Recording processing does not end normally if, for example, the unit is powered off during recording, or if battery pack power is exhausted 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 ~/1 (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 power the unit off or remove the battery pack until recording processing has finished and the ACCESS indicator has gone out.
•This function salvages as much recorded material as possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100% restoration cannot be guaranteed.
•Even when this function is 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.
Quick salvage
When the unit is powered on again after a recording interruption due to power off, with the disc still loaded in the unit, clips are automatically reconstructed on the basis of backup data stored in nonvolatile memory and markers recorded on the disc. Processing time is about 5 seconds.
Full salvage
When a disc that was manually ejected from a device subjected to a recording interruption due to power off is loaded into this unit, clips are automatically reconstructed on the basis of markers recorded on the disc. Nonvolatile memory cannot be used, so processing takes longer than for a quick salvage (about 30 seconds, although it depends on the state of the disc).
3-5-8 Condensation
When this unit is moved from a cold place to a warmer place, or operated in high humidity, condensation may form on the optical pickup. If the unit is operated in this state, it may make correct recording and playback impossible.
Note the following points, to avoid problems with condensation.
•If moving the unit in conditions where condensation is possible, make sure the disc is inserted in advance.
•When the ~/1 (on/standby) switch is in the ~ position, if the ERROR/ALARM indicator lights, and “HUMID!” appears in the utility software alarm log, do not insert a disc until the indicator has gone off.
