Various ways of recording
Before recording
About the operation mode
This recorder has two operation modes,
“Hi-MD mode” and “MD mode”. The
operation mode is automatically
recognized whenever the disc is inserted.
After you insert a disc, check the
operation mode on the display window of
the recorder.
You can record on this recorder only
in “Hi-MD mode”. It is not possible to
record in “MD mode”. If you want to
record in “MD mode”, for example to
allow the disc to be played on another
component that does not support Hi-
MD, connect the recorder to a
computer and use the supplied
software to record in MD mode (refer
to the “Software Operation” section).
For details on the operation mode for
different disc conditions, refer to
“Confirm the operation mode.” (page 19).
Selecting the Menu Mode
If the “Simple” menu mode is selected,
some menu items will not be displayed. If
you cannot find certain menu items while
operating the recorder, make sure that the
menu mode is set to “Advanced”.
For details on selecting the menu mode,
see “Changing the displayed menu items
(Menu Mode)” (page 55).
• When you record on a 1GB Hi-MD disc, use a
new alkaline dry battery (battery level
indication shows
), or connect the
optional AC power adaptor to the recorder.
When you attempt to start recording on a 1GB
Hi-MD disc, “NotENOUGH POWER TO
REC” may appear and recording cannot be
done even if the battery level indication shows
sufficient remaining power while the recorder
is stopped or playing. This is because of a
mechanism that disables recording when the
remaining battery power is estimated by the
recorder to be insufficient due to the high
power consumption required for 1GB Hi-MD
disc recording.
• Before making a recording while using the
optional AC power adaptor, always insert a
new alkaline dry battery into the recorder first
to ensure that the recording operation
completes successfully.
• Recording may not occur if the dedicated
USB cable is connected to the recorder. Make
sure to disconnect the dedicated USB cable
before recording.
• If you start recording when the disc indication
is still rotating in the display, the first few
seconds of the material will not be recorded.
Make sure that the disc indication has stopped
rotating before you start recording.
• Do not move or jog the recorder or disconnect
the power source while recording, or while
“DATA SAVE” or “SYSTEM FILE
WRITING” is flashing in the display.
If you
do, the data recorded up to that point may
not be recorded to the disc, or data on the
disc may be damaged.
“Hi-MD” lights up when the operation
mode is Hi-MD and “MD” lights up when
the operation mode is MD.
