Great Advantages of DVDs

Why DVDs are better than tapes

No need to worry about recording over a tape.

When you use a DVD, the camcorder will automatically record on the empty space of the disc. So you don't have to worry about mistakenly recording over a precious memory.

Just select a scene from the index screen.

You don't need to bother running a tape forwards and backwards to find the scene you want to play back. Simply select a scene from the index screen and start the playback in a breeze.

Easy Playback on a DVD player

After you finalize the disc you recorded, all you have to do is just pop it into a DVD player and start the playback. If you record your disc in VIDEO mode, you will be able to play back your disc on most tabletop DVD players and DVD devices.

Recommended Discs

The camcorder's performance was tested with single-layered discs using Hitachi-Maxell HG series DVD discs; and with dual-layered discs using Canon DVD-R DL54 discs and Verbatim DVD-R DL discs. For further details, contact directly the manufacturer's customer support center. Note that attempting to record or play with this camcorder DVD discs that were recorded, initialized or finalized with other digital devices can result in permanently losing the recordings.

For the highest compatibility with external DVD devices we recommend using the VIDEO mode.
