„Using the DV Cable for Recording

(Digital Dubbing)

Do not plug or unplug the DV Cable during dubbing, or the dubbing may not be completed properly.

Regardless of the menu settings on the recorder, digital dubbing is carried out in the same mode as the [AUDIO REC] mode of the playback tape.

The images on the recorder monitor may be disturbed, but it does not affect the recorded images.

Even if you use a device equipped with DV Terminals such as IEEE1394, you may not be able to perform Digital Dubbing in some cases. For more information, see the instructions for equipment connected.

Date or other information to be displayed cannot be displayed if the software of the connected equipment does not support the display function.

„Cautions for Use

When you use your Camcorder on a rainy or snowy day or on a beach, make sure that no water enters the Camcorder.

Water may cause the Camcorder or Cassette to malfunction. (Irreparable failure may occur.)

If sea water splashes onto the Camcorder, wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the camera body carefully. Then, wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

Keep the Camcorder away from magnetized equipment (such as a microwave oven, TV, video game equipment, etc.).

If you use the Camcorder on or near a TV, images or sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave radiation.

Do not use near a cell phone because doing so may cause noise to adversely affect the picture and sound.

Recordings on the tape may be damaged, or images may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.

Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a microprocessor may adversely affect the Camcorder, causing the disturbance of images and sounds.

If the Camcorder is affected by magnetically charged equipment and does not function properly, turn off the Camcorder power and detach the Battery or AC Adaptor and then connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again. Thereafter, turn on the Camcorder power.

Do not use your Camcorder near radio transmitters or high-voltage cables.

If you record pictures near radio transmitters or high-voltage cables, recorded images or sounds may be adversely affected.

Do not use this Camcorder for surveillance purposes or other business use.

If you use the Camcorder for a long period of time, the internal temperature increases and, consequently, this may cause malfunction.

This Camcorder is not intended for business use.

When you use your Camcorder on a beach or similar place, do not let sand or fine dust get into the Camcorder.

Sand or dust may damage the Camcorder or Cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting and removing the Cassette.)

Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the Camcorder.

If the Camcorder is sprayed with such chemicals, the camera body may be deformed and the surface finish may peel off.

Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the Camcorder for a long period of time.

Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol for cleaning the Camcorder.

The Camcorder body may be deformed and the surface finish may peel off.

Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack.

Wipe the Camcorder with a soft dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent diluted with water and afterwards finish wiping with a dry cloth.

For storing or transporting the Camcorder, place it in a bag or case lined with soft pads so as to prevent the coating on the camera body from being worn.

After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and detach the Battery from the Camcorder or pull out the AC Cable from AC Jack.

If the Cassette is left in the Camcorder, the tape sags and deteriorates.

If the Battery is left on the Camcorder for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the Battery will not function even after it is recharged.
