3-6-7 Handling of Discs When
Recording Does Not End
Normally (Salvage Function)
Recording processing does not end normally when the
1)
primary power of this unit is lost 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 on/
standby switch on the control panel is set to standby,
because the unit does not enter standby mode until after the
end of recording processing.
1) Primary power is lost when the AC power switch on the rear panel is
turned off, the AC power cord is disconnected, DC power is turned off, the
battery pack is exhausted, the battery pack is removed, and so on.

3-6 Handling Discs
Notes
• Do not turn this unit's primary power off 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 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 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).
Proceed as follows to perform a full salvage.
1
Insert the disc on which recording did not end
normally.
The message "Salvage ?" appears.
2
Do one of the following.
To salvage
Press the SET button.
Processing begins and the message "Executing."
appears.
Notes
• If the REC INHI indicator (see page 18) is lit, the
message "EJECT?" appears. Eject the disc, set the
Write Inhibit tab to the recording enable position,
and insert the disc again.
• This operation cannot be cancelled once it begins.
The message "Complete" appears when processing
finishes. If the message reads "Incomplete!," the clips
that failed were lost.
