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.
