Select the Full Erase option when erasing recorded data on DVD media, otherwise the media will not
operate properly when rewritten.
The file size for clip copy is limited to 30GB. When copying video clips larger than 2GB, the video clips
will be save in units of 2GB. For example, 3 individual 2GB files will be created when saving a 6GB video

CAUTION: Do NOT disconnect the USB cable or the power from the external drive while copying
video clips. If the external drive is shut down or the USB cable is disconnected while
copying video clips, THE DVR SYSTEM MAY NOT WORK NORMALLY OR THE EXTERNAL
DRIVE COULD BE DAMAGED, and you will get an error message the next time you try
to copy video clips. You will need to power down the DVR and restart it to get rid of the
error message. Once the file system of the USB hard disk drive has been corrupted, this
error message cannot be dismissed. Even after restarting the DVR it may automatically
restart while preparing to clip copy. You must recover the file system using the recovery
program, or you must reformat the hard disk drive.
