Note:

•Once you turn the DVD video camera/recorder on to let it recognize the disc, you can immediately record or play back by turning the DVD video camera/ recorder on again. However, if a long time has elapsed after the disc was inserted, it will take some time for the DVD video camera/recorder to start because it must recognize the disc again (see “Troubleshooting” on page 145).

•It will take some time for the DVD video camera/ recorder to display the Disc Navigation screen after power is turned on.

•When the DVD video camera/recorder is turned on, the self-diagnosis function will work and a message may appear. In this case, refer to “Trouble Messages” on page 138 and take corrective action.

•When turning the DVD video camera/recorder off or changing over the power switch between “HDD” and “DVD”, you will not need to hold down the gray button: Simply move the power switch.
