System limitations of the MD

The recording system in your camcorder is radically different from those used in cassette and DAT decks and the system has limitations as described below. Note, however, that these limitations are due to the inherent nature of the MD recording system itself and not to mechanical causes.

The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks.

Tracks under 8 seconds long are not counted, so erasing them may not increase the recording time.

It takes a long time to save or edit pictures

Saving and editing on a disc which has hundreds of recorded pictures will take a long time.

The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD may not reach the maximum recording time.

Repeated editing may reduce the recordable time of the disc.

The picture or sound may dropout while fast-forwarding or reversing the edited tracks.

Tracks created through editing may exhibit picture or sound dropout during fast- forwarding or reversing because high-speed playback takes more time to search the position on the disc when the tracks are scattered on the disc.

Notes

•Your camcorder conforms to the Video MD format.

An MD recorded by equipment without bearing Video MD logo cannot be used on your camcorder.

•An MD recorded a video signal other than NTSC system cannot be used on your camcorder.
