drive. (See section 6.3 for more information on how to format a disc)
2) From the Main Display Screen select the BACKUP button. (See Section 3.3)
The BACKUP OPTIONS window should appear.
3) From the BACKUP OPTIONS window, select the day using the SELECT DAY calendar.
4) Select the time(s) to backup by clicking on the desired blocks.
The blocks will turn red when selected. To deselect the blocks, simply click on them again.

box and then press the START BACKUP button.
To backup to a Hard Drive, check the FIXED HDD option. Select the desired Hard Drive from the SELECT
BACKUP MEDIA box and then press the START BACKUP button.
If the amount of video exceeds the storage capacity of the media being used then an error message will be displayed
inside the ERROR MESSAGE box. If this happens reduce the amount of video that is being exported or select another
media device that has a larger storage capacity.
Once the START BACKUP button is pressed, the BACKUP OPTIONS window will close.
You can monitor the status of the recording process by viewing the Backup Progress bar. This can be seen on the Main
Display Screen.
The Backup will be completed successfully when the Backup Progress Bar disappears from the Main Display Screen.

Select the CLOSE TO UDF v 1.5 to view the data in standard CDROM Drives. The host computer that will be
viewing the data must have Roxio UDF Reader installed to view the data. When this option is selected a copy of

disc to be made.
