A problem that seems to crop us with these now and then is that one of the recorded files in your Library becomes corrupt and seemingly impossible to delete. When you select it the box freezes and requires to be hard restarted by removing the power. There is however a solution.
- Select “Menu”
- Option 4 – “Setup”
- Option 6 – “Help”
- Type in 1397 (this is to enter the “Engineer” panel)
- Option 7 – “Disable Library Video Window”
- Go back to your library now and select then delete the offending file.
That’s it, the reason that it is freezing is that the small preview window is attempting to load the corrupted file thus freezing the box. Disabling that preview window allows you to delete the file without it loading.
Once complete, the preview window will automatically enable itself again.
