Note:

•Once you turn the DVD video camera/recorder on to let it recognise 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 recognise the disc again (see page 155).

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

•If you turn the DVD video camera/recorder on, the ACCESS indicator will light or blink to show that the DVD video camera/recorder is recognising the disc or card: During this time, no operation, such as recording, can be performed.

After several seconds, the ACCESS indicator will go out, and operating the DVD video camera/recorder will be possible.

If the ACCESS indicator does not go out, refer to “Check 4” on page 155.

ACCESS/PC indicator

•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 157 and take corrective action.

•While the ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or blinking, do not violently open or close the LCD monitor.
