HANDLING DISCS

●Using discs

DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs are very delicate recording media. Carefully read the following cautions and observe them:

•When using disc on this DVD video camera/ recorder, be sure to keep it in Round DVD Holder.

•Always use a brand new disc when recording important material.

•Be sure not to touch the disc exposed portion, and be

careful that no dirt adheres to it.

•If there is dust, scratch, dirt on

disc or if it is warped, the following phenomena may occur:

−Block noise in playback image

−Momentary stop of playback

image − Sound interrupted during

playback, or abnormal sound − Gray Disc Navigation screen

− Disc cannot correctly be recognized − Delay between video and audio

Even if disc is normal, the above phenomena may occasionally occur. While the ACCESS/PC indicator is lit, do not subject disc to vibrations or impact, and avoid using DVD video camera/ recorder at extremely high or low temperatures, or in environment where condensation is likely to occur.

•When recording images,

the DVD video camera/ recorder may avoid the portions of disc where

recording is not possible,

due to dust, scratches, etc. [It will pause +at such a

portion and automatically restart recording (,).] This will cause recording

to be interrupted for several seconds to several minutes, and multiple thumbnails will be created by one recording session as shown above. In this case, the recordable time on disc will decrease.

•Be careful when removing the disc since the metal of removal slot of DVD video camera/ recorder, and disc itself, may be hot.

●Storing discs

•When storing disc, insert it in Round DVD Holder into plastic case.

•Be careful that no condensation occurs on disc.

•Do not place disc in following places:

−Direct sunlight for a long time

−Where humidity is high or in dusty place

−While there is heat from a heater, etc.

Note:

•See page 76 when cleaning the removed disc.

•See page 75 for how to handle disc removed from Round DVD Holder.

•See page 75 for how to set the disc removed from Round DVD Holder or another disc correctly in Round DVD Holder.
