Handling Discs
l
Using discs
DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs are very delicate
recording media. Carefully read the following cautions
and observe them:
When using a disc in this DVD Video Camera,
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 exposed
disc
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)
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 Video Camera at extremely high or
low temperatures, or in an environment where
condensation is likely to occur.
When recording images, the
DVD Video Camera may
avoid the portions of disc
where
recording
is
not
possible,
due
to
dust,
scratches, etc. [It will pause
m
at such a portion and
automatically
restart
recording (
n
).]
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 Video Camera, and disc itself,
may be hot.
l
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
