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 you remove the disc, replace it, or if the date changes after power is turned on, it will take some time for the DVD video camera/recorder to start because it must recognize the disc again (See page 147).

•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 recognizing 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.
