Chapter 2 Basic Operations 2-13
If the set value is smaller than the valid minimum value and REC is
selected for PRIORITY, a Playback During Recording operation cannot be
performed.
For details on the setting of the recording cycle, see “Setting the Recording
Modes” on page 5-12, and for the setting of PRIORITY, see “Function Control
Menu” on page 4-11.
Other requirements
• A Playback During Recording operation cannot be performed just after
recording has started. Activate Playback During Recording mode after
continuing recording for a certain period. For example, it is about 15
seconds with settings of 4 camera inputs, 0.4-second recording cycle, and
SUPER image quality.
• The message “NOT ORIGINAL” is not displayed during a Playback
During Recording operation.
• During a Playback During Recording operation, the camera name that
you have preset by menu operation is displayed. Therefore, the correct
camera name may not be displayed if a tape which is recorded in another
place is played back.
• The user data cannot be played back during a Playback During Recording
operation (when the RS-232C is used).
To play back the latest recorded scenes (Pre-reverse Playback)
1 Start recording as described in “Recording.”
2 Press the PLAY (PRE REVERSE PLAY) key.
Playback During Recording mode is activated. The point on the hard disc
just before the time set for PRE REVERSE TIME in the Function Control
Menu (1 to 99 minutes) is located, and playback starts. Recording is
continued using the recording buffer of the HDD.
For details on setting the pre-reverse time, see “Setting the Pre-Reverse Time” on
page 5-17.
Status display during a Playback During Recording operation
When Playback During Recording mode is activated, the display
“REC&PLAY**%” appears on the screen (“**” indicates the percentage
of remaining disk capacity available for recording).
As recording is made only on the hard disk in Playback During Recording,
the REC indicator on the front panel rapidly flashes.
Note
When a recording is made up to the maximum recording capacity of the
hard disk (“0%” is displayed) in Playback During Recording mode, data
are overwritten from the oldest. If the remaining disk capacity falls to 5%,
a beep will sound, and a caution message will be displayed.
The caution message will disappear when you press any key. In order to
avoid overwriting before the data on the hard disk are copied to a tape,
cancel Playback During Recording mode before the remaining capacity
falls to 0%.
