3-5 Handling Discs
• This function salvages as much recorded material as
possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100%
restoration cannot be guaranteed.
• Even when this function is used, it is not possible to
recover data from immediately before the interruption of
recording. The amount of data lost is as follows.
- Quick salvage: From 2 to 4 seconds of data before the
interruption of recording.
- Full salvage: From 4 to 6 seconds of data before the
interruption of recording.
Quick salvage
When the unit is powered on again after a recording
interruption due to power off, with the disc still loaded in
the unit, clips are reconstructed on the basis of backup data
stored in nonvolatile memory and markers recorded on the
disc.
Processing time is about 5 seconds.
Full salvage
When a disc that was manually ejected from a device
subjected to a recording interruption due to power off is
loaded into this unit, clips are reconstructed on the basis of
markers recorded on the disc. Nonvolatile memory cannot
be used, so processing takes longer than for a quick
salvage (about 30 seconds, although it depends on the state
of the disc).
Proceed as follows to perform a full salvage.
1
Insert the disc on which recording did not end
normally.
The message “Salvage ?” appears.
2
Do one of the following.
To salvage
Press the SET button.
Processing begins and the message “Executing.”
appears.
Notes
• If the REC INH indicator (see page 17) is lit, the
message “EJECT?” appears. Eject the disc, set the
Write Inhibit tab to the recording enable position,
and insert the disc again.
• This operation cannot be cancelled once it begins.
The message “Complete” appears when processing
finishes. If the message reads “Incomplete!,” the clips
that failed were lost.
To exit without salvaging
Press the RESET button.
The state of section where recording was interrupted is
saved, but no salvage processing is done.
Sections which were recorded normally can be played
back, but no new recording can be done on the disc. (A
quick format can be done on the disc, although all of
its contents will be lost.)
Note
Unless clips are salvaged, the message “Salvage ?”
appears again the next time the disc is inserted or the
unit is powered on.
