AVTECH 760 OverWrite Mode

[snoogles 0]

Hi Guys,

 

Here is the issue. I have a Avtech 760 4Ch system. When I set it recording in overwrite mode it happily records the full 250gig and then you would expect it to go back and start writing over from the beginning of the HD right?

 

Ha Ha not so

 

It overwrites in a loop for the last 5gig of the HD only! WTF?

 

I have tried every option I can find but it always chews up the (cleared) HDD and then sits there looping the last 5gig.

 

Any Ideas?

 

Much thanks,

 

Snoogs

Gidday Mate!

 

we had a big discussion about this just a week or two ago, look here:

So after a while you can't play recordings made just before the 5 (or eight) GB border?

Sweet M8,

 

Thanks heaps.

 

Ill check that over the next few days when the HD gets to the 5gig window again.

 

It would seem reasonable to for it to overwrite the oldest data in 5 or 8 gig blocks. (760 does it in 5 gig blocks)

 

Shame they dont mention this in the manual. even in TWinglish.

 

I have 2 units atm. They r uber from my limited experience with them. (especially @ $900 AUS) This was the only thing i could find that was a bit dodgey with em.

 

Cheers,
