The oldest recording on the hard disk is played back when you press the PLAY button
for the first time after the power is turned on
for the first time after you stop recording

When recording more than one camera, the playback interval per camera will be the
frames per second multiplied by the number of cameras. A recording interval of 15
frames equals one second.
• Single camera: The screen changes frame-by-frame at a rate equal to the record-
ing interval multiplied by the number of cameras used in the recording.
• Four cameras: Each camera changes frame-by-frame at a rate equal to the record-
ing interval multiplied by the number of cameras used in the recording. The display
shifts to still-frame mode during playback from a camera that is not indicated.
• Nine and sixteen cameras: Each camera changes frame-by-frame at the re-
corded rate. The display shifts to still-frame mode during playback from a camera
that is not indicated.
Playback will stop automatically at the end of the hard disk (if extra hard disk drives
are installed, playback will stop at the end of the hard disk drive with the highest ID
number) or the end of the recorded part when the HDD PB REPEAT field in the Initial
