Useful Features Hard Disk Maintenance When power failure occurs while in the Recording mode or Sensor Record Standby mode, or when failure occurs in the recorded data of the hard disk, recording/playback may not function properly. To repair the hard disk, two types of scan disk functions are available on VR-716: • Auto Scan Disk Scans the hard disk automatically upon turning on the power. • Manual Scan Disk Performs manual scanning of the hard disk.
