About the disc

See page 16 for the details of discs which you can use with your camcorder.

Notes on use

•Hold the disc by its edge while supporting the center hole lightly. Do not touch the recording side (the opposite of the printed side when using a single-sided disc).

•Before shooting, be sure to remove dust and fingerprints from the disc with the cleaning cloth supplied with your camcorder.

Otherwise you may not be able to record or play normally in some situations using that disc.

•When you set the disc in your camcorder, press firmly until it clicks. When the message [C:13:ss] appears on the LCD screen, open the disc cover and set the disc again.

•Do not attach any adhesive material such as a sticker on the surface of a disc. If you do so, the disc may become unbalanced, and this may cause a malfunction of the disc or your camcorder.

•Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or leave it in a humid place.

•When you carry or store the disc, put it in its case.

•When you want to write letters or marks, etc. on a single-sided disc, write only on the printed side using an oil-based marker with a felt-tip, and do not touch the ink until it dries. Do not heat the disc or use a sharp- pointed tool, such as ball point pen. Do not dry the surface by heating. You cannot write on, or mark, on the double-sided discs.

Care and storage of the discs

•Keep the disc clean, or the quality of the audio and video output may deteriorate.

•Clean the disc with the supplied cleaning cloth.

Wipe the disc from the center out. For dirt, clean the disc with a soft cloth slightly moistened in water, then remove the moisture with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents such as benzine, cleaners intended for vinyl LPs or antistatic splay, as they may cause a malfunction to the disc.
