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 Palmcorder, 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

−Blue thumbnail display

(Fig. 1)	Al l Pr og r ams	0 01/ 006
− 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 Palmcorder at extremely high or low temperatures, or in environment where condensation is likely to occur.

•When recording images,

the DVD Palmcorder 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 Palmcorder, 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 the 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 78 when cleaning the removed disc.

•See page 77 for how to handle disc removed from Round DVD Holder.

•See page 77 for how to set the disc removed from Round DVD Holder or another disc correctly in Round DVD Holder.
