3-6 Handling Discs

When battery power is low and at other times, it may not 
be possible to eject discs by pressing the EJECT button. In 
these situations, you can use the following as an 
emergency procedure to eject a disc manually.

Power the unit off.

Insert a Phillips screwdriver into the slit, as shown in 
the following illustration, and rotate the red screw in 
the counterclockwise direction.

Use a screwdriver that fits into the slit. The width of 
the slit is approximately 2.5 mm.

The disc is ejected.
After removing the disc, you do not need to return the 
screw to its original position. Normal operation will 
resume when the unit is powered on again.

When XDCAM recording does not end normally, the file 
system is not updated, video and audio data recorded in 
real time is not recognized as files, and clip contents 
recorded up to that point are lost.
However, this unit has a salvage function which can hold 
losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such 
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. (From 4 to 6 seconds of data before the 
interruption of recording are lost.)

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. Processing time is about 30 
seconds, although it depends on the state of the disc.
Proceed as follows to perform a full salvage.

Insert the disc on which recording did not end 
normally.

The message “Salvage ?” appears.

Do one of the following.

To salvage
Press the SET button.
Processing begins and the message “Executing.” 
appears.

• If a write protected disc is loaded, the message 

“EJECT?” appears. Eject the disc, set the write-
protect tab to the recording enable position, and 
insert the disc again.

• This operation cannot be cancelled once it begins.

A message appears to display the results 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.)

Unless clips are salvaged, the message “Salvage ?” 
appears again the next time the disc is inserted or the 
unit is powered on.
