4-1 Recording
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 with the REC button is not possible. (The 
message “Disc Full!” appears in the time data display.)
• 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. (See 3-5-7

Normally (Salvage Function)” on page 47.
