Recording
Preview Function
The front panel’s PREVIEW button, or the SET UP
section = [Recording] = Preview button can be
used to confirm the results of encoding and
decoding of the video/audio input signals.
In the idling condition, press either the PREVIEW
button, or on the Function Menu’s SET UP section
= [Recording] command, press the Preview
button. The elected input preview image/sound (after
encoding and decoding) will be produced at all
output connectors. Also, while viewing the preview,
if the PREVIEW button or the STOP button is
pressed (or if the mouse’s left and right buttons are
clicked simultaneously), the unit will return to the
idling condition or the Function Menu.
Note 1:
When DVD drive is selected as the recording
destination, the EJECT button is disabled during
use of the preview function.
Note 2:
Even if the SET UP section = [Operation] =
[Video Settings] = [DV OUT] command is enabled,
no signal is output from the DV connector during use
of the preview function.
Executing Preview command on SET UP section
= [Recording] = [Video/Audio]
Starting and Stopping Recording
Recording can be started and stopped either
manually or automatically.
Recording automatically stops whenever the
recording destination runs out of recording capacity.
Also, recording will not start if the medium has no
recording space available. When recording to DVD,
recording will not begin after 99 titles have been
recorded to a single disc, even if the disc has
recording capacity remaining. When performing
continuous recording to hard disk drive, a single clip
can contain a maximum of 100 hours of recording
time.
1 Manual Recording
Starting and stopping manual recording is performed
with the front panel’s REC and STOP buttons.
During recording, the PAUSE button can be
pressed to temporarily interrupt the recording. From
the pause mode, press REC button again to resume
recording, and the recording will be a continuous part
of the clip (title) begun before the pause. During
recording, the front panel’s REC button will light,
and during the pause mode, both the REC and
PAUSE buttons will light.
When manual chapter mark insertion is selected,
chapter marks can be entered at desired locations by
using the main unit’s front panel ENTER button, the
remote control unit’s ENTER button, or the Enter
key on a connected keyboard. A chapter mark is also
inserted when the PAUSE button is used to set the
unit to recording standby. If automatic chapter mark
insertion has been selected, a chapter mark will be
inserted automatically after each set interval. In this
case, no chapter mark will be inserted at a recording
pause position. The session from recording start to
recording stop will be considered an independent
title (clip).
Note 1:
When the STOP
button is used to terminate recording,
several seconds are required to completely stop the
process after the button is pressed. The stop time is greater
when recording to DVD than to HDD. Recording cannot be
restarted until after this operation is completed. The STOP
button flashes during the period after the STOP button is
pressed and recording stops completely.
Note 2:
In theory, up to 99 chapter marks can be inserted for
a single title (clip), but no more than that number can
be inserted, no matter what method is used.
Note 3:
Be careful when using a keyboard to insert chapter
marks, since if the Enter key is held depressed,
multiple consecutive chapter marks may be inserted.
