Setting up the Hard Disk for Mirroring
(continued)
Precautions When Setting up Mirroring
•
The capacity of the hard disk will be reduced by
approximately half when mirroring is set up. It is therefore
necessary to take care when setting recording times.
•
Mirroring can only be set up for the built-in hard disk, and is
not possible on additional disks.
•
Setting the system for mirroring is not a guarantee that
data will not be damaged.
•
All events logged on the built-in hard disk and additional
hard disks will be deleted when mirroring is set up. It is
therefore necessary to take back-ups of all important
events beforehand.
•
Depending on the recording settings and the operational
status, there is a possibility that playback speed will be
reduced and that the sound will not be synchronized with
the images when setting up the system for mirroring. This
is not a malfunction.
•
If a power failure occurs which the mirroring settings
enabled, the re-creation process will be carried out once
again in the background. The safety of the recorded data
cannot be guaranteed while the recreation process is being
performed.
•
Depending on the condition of the hard disk, there is a
possibility that the mirroring settings will fail. In this event,
cancel the mirroring settings, and then begin the setup
process once again.
•
Recording and playback is not possible when the mirroring
settings are being processed.
•
As the hard disk capacity displayed on the screen is
calculated as 1GB = (1024)
actually exists will be displayed.
•
If a defect occurs on one of the hard disks, the function for
exporting data onto DVDs will not operate.
•
The objective of mirroring is to protect recorded data in the
event that the VR-509 hard disk malfunctions. Note that
there are cases where operations cannot be continued
even when mirroring has been set up depending on the
type of hard disk malfunction.
