This section describes video and audio recording on the 
unit.

See page 65 “Function Menu” in Chapter 6 for more 
information about function menu operations.

See page 71 “Setup Menu Operations” in Chapter 6 for 
more information about setup menu operations.

It is not possible to combine material recorded in different 
system frequencies and audio recording formats on a 
single disc (although different bit rates may be combined). 
If you attempt to record material in a system frequency or 
audio recording format that differs from that of existing 
recorded material on the disc, “REC INH” appears on the 
display and recording is inhibited.

Make the following settings and adjustments before 
starting to record.
Recording format settings: See the next section “To set 

the video and audio recording formats”.

Video input signal selection: Select with V INPUT on the 

HOME page of the function menu.

Audio input signal selection: Select with A1 INPUT to 

A4 INPUT on the HOME page of the function menu.

Remote/local setting: Set the remote control switch. If 

you set it to REMOTE, also set the setup menu item 
INTERFACE SELECT >REMOTE I/F (“REMOTE” 
and the connector used appear on the display).

To set the video recording format
Set the video bit rate (compression method) by setting 
OPERATIONAL FUNCTION >REC FORMAT in the 
setup menu to one of the following.

To set the audio recording format
Set AUDIO CONTROL >REC MODE in the setup menu 
to one of the following.

One recording segment (from the start to the end of 
recording) is called a “clip”.

Insert a disc.

Hold down the REC button, and press the PLAY 
button.

Recording starts.

To stop recording, press the STOP button.

If the disc becomes full
Recording stops and the message “ALARM DISC END.” 
appears on the monitor.

• 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 with the REC button is not possible. (The 
message “Disc Full!” appears in the time data display 
section.)

• 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)” on page 33.
