There is a USB port on the left about half way down. I would try hooking it up to the computer and viewing the contents. Perhaps you could erase what you find there.

I'd try the computer hookup to see all the files. Maybe there are some hidden in a music or other folder. When you find a solution, could you please post it? Just in case I run into the same problem down the line. thanks!

How did you delete the audios? Did you reformat the recorder, or delete them off the recorder one by one, or cut and paste onto your computer?

Get a new one. Using flash memory you only get one use of memory. Even formating does not make it usefull. Remember what a good unit you had and buy another. PS this happens with flash drives. Its 10,000 writes not one. Ehow.com has a large library "repair flash drives, please review

This device requires a seperate hard drive. Depending on the size of that hard drive that determines how much you can store. The system automatically deletes the oldest recordings when it gets full.

The user manual states: The camera will not stop recording when the card is full, but will deletethe oldest file and resume recording.

Have you try a different SD card? After you re-insert the SD card; did you un-plug and re-plug the power? If you have tried all of the above, and it still doesn't record; the unit might be defective. Please email us at customersupport@cavalrystorage.com so that we can swap out with a new unit for you.

Thanks for your reply. I've had mine for a little over 2 weeks and I'm able to record everything off the DVR. I had to call Toshiba twice because I didn't know what I was doing. Their customer service was incredible!! I will definitely buy Toshiba products again.Just wondering... why would you use DVD+R disks? Am I correct that those cannot be used again? I've used DVD+RW.One more question... is there a way to delete shows that are on the DVD without formatting the disk? Like if I have watched some shows but not others and I want to record more.Thanks for your help Thanks for your reply.

I've recorded video until the card filled up. Deleted it and did it again for several other events. Never had a problem. Works great!

My old one (same model) became increasingly fussy about discs before it just refused to record on any. They are notoriously fussy about recording on DVD- discs. I think the formatting has changed also over the years, so they cannot record on some DVD+ discs. It's best to just record on DVD+ anyway, b/c the Toshiba, for instance, will convert an older DVD+ disc so you can finish out, edit and finalize, but all the Toshiba will do is play an unfinalized DVD- disc. Find a brand that works for your recorder, and stick with that brand, DVD+ only. If your recorder gets fussy woth THOSE, it's probably not going to last much longer.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

The old files erase and the camera keeps recording without any input from you. Things to note get a trusted 32 gig card and format it in the camera and if you want to keep a event manually lock that video file so the camera does not erase it. If your vehicle bounces around like my semi truck turn off the G sensor option or you will have a lot of locked video files

The camera records all of the time, but when the card fills up, it over-writes the previously recorded data. That works because you do not have to download or change memory cards.

I just tested the recorder by removing the batteries for 2 minutes and the settings were not reset, so it would take a longer time without power than just changing the batteries for the settings to reset. I misplaced one for over 3 months and although the batteries lost their power and the settings eventually reset, my recordings were intact. Hope this helps.

I have experienced this. Left it running and it died. When I plugged it back in, it had a 9 hour audio file from the time it was recording until battery gone.

Initially I thought I had a problems with how quickly the batteries discharged, until I found I was not turning the system off when I was not using it. Now that I double check to turn the recorder off, the charge seems to last a long time. Hope this is of some help.

Hi. This happened to me once but I am not sure how exactly I deleted the footage from the full memory card. It was NOT so straight forward. I think you probably have an external memory card, too, and you may have just deleted the footage from the external memory. Make sure in the setup menu to select the "built in memory" so you know you are deleting the stuff from it. Once it is not full, you will not see the message any more. I did not need to do anything extra to reset the error message. Good luck.BTW, you can always check the memory usage on each card from the setup menu.

i have recorded ten minutes at a time and then it pauses and starts again for another ten minutes and when the card is full it starts rerecording over again

I bought this particular DVD several months ago and am more than satisfied. As a matter of fact, I placed a new order of the same just days ago. However, they are recommended in the Owner's Manual of my recorder. You may be better helped by simply calling the company of your recording unit to discuss your problem. Good luck, Lynne.
