3,000. (The message "MAX # Clips" appears in the
status display area.)
• This unit can record video input signals that are not
synchronized to a reference signal. However, in that
case, video breakup and audio noise may occur in E-E
playback.
• During recording, do not turn off the main power switch
on the rear panel or disconnect the power cord. This
could cause the clip being recorded to be lost.
