MicroDrive Media

Unlike Compact Flash media, which has no moving
parts, MicroDrive media is a small mechanical
device. It is therefore adversely affected by
vibrations that could cause the drive mechanism
to skip. Such vibrations could be caused by loud
sounds in the environment where the HD-P2 is
located – they could be caused by running the built-
in speaker at high sound levels – they could also

LCD Ghosting

If the LCD backlight is on for 16+ hours and/or
the temperature exceeds 40 degree Celsius, faint
ghosting of the LCD information may appear.
It is not permanent and will go away when the
temperature is reduced.

Mic Switch Operation

The MIC switch must be set to EXT for the built-
in speaker to function, even if the individual LEFT
INPUT and RIGHT INPUT switches are set to
LINE. This is to prevent feedback from occurring
between the built-in mic and the built-in speaker.

be caused by excessive jostling when used with
the shoulder strap. It is strongly recommended that
Compact Flash media be used in situations where
vibration, physical shock, or jostling is possible.
One symptom of MicroDrive media being affected
by vibration or shock is stopped recordings due to a
buffer over run.

FireWire Power

Some PCI FireWire cards have been found to have a
power connector on them that can take power from
a disk drive-style power connector. Such cards rely
on that power connector for to make good voltage
available to a device connected to their FireWire
connection.
If your PCI based FireWire card has a connector for
a disk drive-type power plug, it must be connected
for proper FireWire voltage to be available to the
HD-P2 via the FireWire connection.
