Tape does not need to be loaded if the camera supports external

Troubleshooting: Counter Not Incrementing
If the Counter does not increment while recording the camera, it is
an indication that there is no active connection between the MR-
HD100 and the camera.
• Verify that the MR-HD100 1394 DV I/O and the camera
connections are secure. It may be necessary to unplug and
then reconnect them.
When a good connection is made, the Counter will increment
and recording will start.
• Verify that MR-HD100 and camera settings are correct.
Verify Record Mode Matches Source Video Content and Format
If in DV Recorder mode, HD content will not record properly. A
NTSC or PAL DV source records only on a matching NTSC or PAL
unit.
Do Not Disconnect Power or FireWire Cable
Never disconnect the power or the FireWire cable during a
recording. This will cause file corruption.
Loss of Power During Recording
If power is lost during recording it is possible to repair the
damaged file or files, refer
Repair Disk on page 82 to and
Repair Clip DV mode only on page 83.
