become unable to be started normally after it has been turned off in the middle of

normally, please contact our Technical Support Center.

Details of Updating
■ Improvement of recording reliability
This will solve the problems related to encoding error (which causes recording to stop) that may occur
rather rarely during recording.
■
Modification of the routine for processing recording stoppage due to recording error
This consists of addition of the function for saving the clip being recorded as a project in HDD in case
recording is stopped in the middle due to an error.
* An error occurring during recording causes a part of the clip being recorded (last part) to be lost, but of the clip are
left in the HDD. The amount of lost data is variable depending on the vide encoding rate, and may be up to 40 sec.
at the highest rate and up to 2 min. 50 sec. at the lowest rate. If DVD1/2 is selected as the recording destination,
the disc write is aborted and the disc will be ejected.
The ejected disc is not reusable, but the part of clip other than the part lost due to the error is saved in the HDD as
a project having the same name.
The saved project is inserted at the top of the project list (location below the New project) in the project menu
available under the [Function Menu].
* Should an error occurs during recording, press the OK button in the diagram box displayed on the screen, turn the
unit off and restart it again before retrying recording.
■ Lift of restrictions on the resolution of imported image files
The image size of imported files is no longer restricted because the method of conversion and
compression of the imported menu background images (JPEG or BMP files) into video files is changed.
* Conversion at best quality is possible when the import file is created in the 720 x 480 resolution.
You turned off the unit accidentally in the
middle of updating.
Restart the installation by following the
updating procedure. If the unit will not
start up normally, please contact our
Technical Support Center.
Executing the updating causes the DVD background images files imported by the user to
be deleted.
These files need to be imported again after completion of updating.
