Note: When recording special events, be sure to use a new disc which has never been removed from cartridge or caddy.
Note: Writing similar to recording is performed even with simple editing or deletion. Make sure that editing or deletion has been securely performed with the disc removed from cartridge or caddy.
Note: If there are dust, scratches or dirt on the surface of disc, block noise may appear in image or sound may be interrupted. Take great care when handling discs so that no dirt or fingerprints adheres to them.
Note: This DVD video camera/recorder has a function that allows recording, avoiding portions of the disc with dust, scratches or dirt [The DVD video camera/recorder sets to pause (

will interrupt recording for several seconds to sev-
eral minutes, and multiple thumbnails will be cre- English ated (see p. 66) in one recording as shown in the figure. In this case, the recordable time will de- crease.
