It is possible that the system cannot normally complete writing of
file when power is turned off for some reason during recording or
editing (deleting, dividing or combining scenes, or creating play
list). Selecting "YES" will automatically repair the video file, but
even if "NO" is selected, the same message will appear when the
DVD video camera/recorder is turned on next time. (Do not
remove the disc while the DVD video camera/recorder is
recognizing it: Ignoring this will deactivate the file repair function.)
Follow the instructions on screen, taking note of the following
cautions:
• Be sure to use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video
camera/recorder when repairing data: Repair is not possible
using a battery. If a battery has been attached, turn the power
switch off once, connect the AC adapter/charger, and then start
repairing.
• Ifmessage (1) appears when using the HDD, a battery can be
used for repair (except when the remaining battery level
indicator is blinking).
• Repair will normally be complete in several minutes, but it may
take longer (up to one hour).
• Data may not be repaired, depending on the timing when
power was turned off.
• Data may not be repaired normally if data recorded on another
recorder is mixed in.
• The repaired data may be different from the original recorded
content because of partial deletion of defective portion.
• Since the date/time for repair is added to the repaired data
(only the corrected portion for partial repair), the original date/
time information will be lost.
• Since all movies, and then all stills, are repaired, the order of
recorded contents will be lost incase of message (2) (3) only.
• See "1 on page 145.
A DVD-RW/+RW that was initialized by PC and not initialized for

recording, or the last recorded scene was deleted. The auto- 114
finalized +RW can be played back on a DVD recorder/player.
Cannot combine scene. Unless consecutive scenes are selected, they cannot be
