Troubleshooting
Cause
It sometimes takes time for the connected
equipment to recognize the operation.
There is a problem with the software, for
example, it does not support the MPEG
HD/DVCAM format, etc.
1 Open the rubber cap to
reveal an access hole.
2 With a screwdriver or
similar instrument, slide
the black metal plate in the
access hole toward the
rear of the unit.
The lid of the disc
compartment opens. The
red-colored cross
recessed head screw can
be seen in the access
hole.
3 Use a Phillip type
screwdriver to turn the red
screw counterclockwise
(in the direction shown on
the rubber cap). This
ejects the disc.
4 Replace the rubber cap
firmly in position.
Remedy
Wait for about 15 seconds. If the connected
equipment still does not react, do the
following.
• Check the i.LINK cable, for example, by
re-plugging the i.LINK cable.
• Turn the power off, and connect the cable
again.
• Change the i.LINK cable.
Install software that supports the MPEG HD/
DVCAM format.
