Hitachi DZMV550A, DZMV580A instruction manual English

Note:

•If you operate the DVD video camera/recorder connected to another device, always power the camera/ recorder from AC outlet using the AC adapter/charger.

•If you use a Hitachi VCR, it will be operated by the remote control provided with the DVD video camera/recorder. When recording an image from a Hitachi VCR, change the remote control code of the VCR to other than “VCR2”.

•With DZ-MV580A, using S-VIDEO will enable you to record clearer images.

•The DZ-MV550A cannot record S-VIDEO input.

•Reduce the volume of external input sound heard from the built-in speaker: The loud volume may cause noise to enter the recorded image.

•The recorded contents can be played back in the same manner as when playing back camera images recorded on this DVD video camera/recorder.

•Still images can also be recorded on DVD-RAM disc or card. See “Switching External Input Recording Method (PHOTO Input)” on page 98 for details, and “Recording Stills” on page 50 for how to record still images.

•The “Input Source” setting will return to “CAMERA” whenever DVD video camera/recorder is turned off.

•Recording of most images is prohibited by the copy- guard signal to protect the copyright, except for images recorded on camcorders for personal enjoyment. “COPY PROTECTED” appears in these images: They cannot be recorded on this DVD video camera/recorder. Typical copyright protected images include those of DVD video, LD, recorded video tapes, some parts of digital satellite broadcasts, etc.

•If a video signal that cannot be read by this DVD video camera/recorder is present - even in images recorded on camcorder for personal enjoyment without copy- guard signal - the input image may not be recorded normally.

•If the input signal is interrupted by switching the channel on TV or switching the signal using video selector (see “Terminology”, P. 160), normal recording cannot be performed.
