NOTE:
When playing back from a DDS device, there will be a few minutes delay
in playback and eject, depending on the condition of the recording.
The oldest recording on the hard disk is played back when you press the PLAY button
for the first time after the power is turned on
for the first time after you stop recording
The newest recording on the hard disk is played back (in the reverse direction) when
you press the REV PLAY button

for the first time after you stop recording
After the first time, subsequent pressing of the PLAY or REV PLAY buttons will resume
playback from the point where it was stopped.
When recording more than one camera, the playback interval per camera will be the
frames per second multiplied by the number of cameras. A recording interval of 15
frames equals one second.
• Single camera: The screen changes frame-by-frame at a rate equal to the record-
ing interval multiplied by the number of cameras used in the recording.
• Four cameras: Each camera changes frame-by-frame at a rate equal to the record-
ing interval multiplied by the number of cameras used in the recording. The display
shifts to still-frame mode during playback from a camera that is not indicated.
• Nine and sixteen cameras: Each camera changes frame-by-frame at the re-
corded rate. The display shifts to still-frame mode during playback from a camera
that is not indicated.
Playback will stop automatically at the end of the hard disk (if extra hard disk drives
are installed, playback will stop at the end of the hard disk drive with the highest ID
number) or the end of the recorded part when the HDD PB REPEAT field in the Initial
