• During recording, do not turn off the POWER switch on
the rear panel or disconnect the power cord. This could
cause the clip being recorded to be lost. For details, see
"Handling of Discs When Recording Does Not End
Normally (Salvage Functions)" on page 38.
Recording with the Clip Continuous
Rec Function
Normally, a clip is generated as an independent file every
time recording starts and stops. The Clip Continuous Rec
function allows you to continue recording to the same clip
until the function is stopped or turned off, regardless of
how many times recording starts and stops. This is
convenient if you want to avoid generating a large number
of short clips, or if you want to record without worrying
about the limit on the number of clips (maximum 300). A
REC START essence mark is recorded whenever
recording starts, which makes it easy to find the recording
start points.
To enable the function
Set OPERATIONAL FUNCTION >CLIP CONT. REC in
the setup menu to "ON".
See "Setup Menu Operations" (page 81) for more
information about setup menu operations.
To record
Connect a controlling device to the REMOTE(9P)
connector of this unit and send a REC command.
To stop recording

To stop the function
Do one of the following to stop the Clip Continuous Rec
function. (A new clip will be generated the next time you
start recording.)
• Perform a clip operation (lock or delete a clip)
• Make a network or FAM connection

• Change the recording format (change the setting of
OPERATIONAL FUNCTION >REC FORMAT in the
