Notes • The shortest clip that can be recorded is 2 seconds long. Even if recording start and stop operations are performed within 2 seconds, a 2-second clip is recorded. • The maximum number of clips that can be recorded is 300. If the loaded disc already contains 300 clips, recording operation is not possible. (The message "MAX # Clips" appears in the time data display area.) • This unit can record video input signals that are not synchronized to a reference signal. However, in that case, video breakup and audio noise may occur in E-E playback. • During recording, do not turn off the POWER switch on the rear panel or disconnect the power cord. This could cause the clip being recorded to be lost. For details, see "Handling of discs when recording does not end normally (salvage functions)" (page 58). To adjust the audio recording levels When carrying out audio recording at a reference level Set the VARIABLE switch to PRESET. The audio signals will be recorded at a preset reference level. You can change the reference level and the input levels with maintenance menu item M37: AUDIO CONFIG. See page 148 for more information about how to make maintenance menu settings. Manually adjusting the audio recording levels Set the VARIABLE switch to REC and adjust the CH-1/ ALL CH and CH-2 to CH-4 knobs so that the audio level indications on the audio level meters do not exceed 0 dB for a maximum volume.
