Notes
•A 0 KB file may be created, but the file cannot be opened
because it does not have video data. Do not delete the 0 KB
file on your computer. If you do, this clip cannot be played
back.
• When changing the tape, the audio may mute on some
camcorder models. At the recorded part, only video is
recorded.
• When HDV recording with this unit, if you start the tape
recording with the camcorder, the i.LINK output stream is
cut for about 0.5 seconds, so when that video is recorded
onto this unit, it is the cut form. In this case, the file will be
separated before and after changing the tape recording
started.
• The file will be separated automatically every time the
recording time of one clip over about 20 minutes but this
clip is operated as a same clip.
• If the i.LINK cable is disconnected or the power of the
connecting device turned off during recording, recording
stops but the data recorded until that point is recorded.
• If the power of this unit is turned off by battery exhaustion
or mistakenly sliding the POWER switch, the data recorded
until the power off is detected is recorded on a
CompactFlash in this unit.
• If the battery pack is removed or the jack of the AC adaptor
disconnected during recording, the folder information at
the moment the power goes off may not be written
correctly.
• The interval recording operation of the camcorder is not
timed, so operations are not guaranteed.
• Do not switch the audio mode of the camcorder while
recording. Depending on the PC application, there may not
be any audio.
