Discs G Available Discs Usable discs and logos DVD-RAM Ver. 2.1 (8 cm) DVD-R [for General Ver. 2.0 (8 cm)] This DVD video camera/recorder can use 8 cm DVD-RAM discs and 8 cm DVD-R discs for camcorder use. An uncovered disc cannot be used on this DVD video camera/recorder: It must be left in a cartridge or caddy for 8 cm disc. Note: It is recommended that you use Hitachi Maxell discs because their compatibility with this DVD video camera/recorder has been confirmed. Using a disc other than that made by Hitachi Maxell may not allow the DVD video camera/recorder to deliver optimum performance. G Information on DVD-R disc For optimum recording on DVD-R disc, the DVD video camera/recorder writes control data to the disc in order to make adjustment when it is inserted and ejected accompanying recording. However, repeating this adjustment many times may cause the disc to become unrecordable: Do not insert or eject the disc accompanying recording more than 50 times. Examples of discs that cannot be used on this DVD video camera/recorder: Discs other than those with diameter of 8 cm, DVDRAM (2.6 G) Ver. 1.0, DVD-R (3.9 G) Ver. 1.0, DVDR (4.7 G) for Authoring Ver. 2.0, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-Video, DVD-ROM, CDR, CD-RW, CD, CD-ROM, MO, MD, iD, LD, floppy disk, etc. G Initializing (formatting) DVD-RAM Discs This DVD video camera/recorder can use DVDRAM discs for AV formatted in accordance with the UDF 2.01 file system : No recording can be made on an unformatted disc. See "Initializing DVD-RAM Disc" on page 87 for the initializing procedure. G Finalizing DVD-R Disc Before using the 8 cm DVD-R disc recorded on this DVD video camera/recorder on a DVD player or DVD recorder that is compatible with 8 cm DVDR disc, the disc must be finalized on this DVD video camera/recorder. For the finalizing procedure of 8 cm DVD-R disc, refer to "Finalizing Disc" (p. 89). G When using DVD-R disc If you finalize a recorded DVD-R disc, you can play it back on devices that are compatible with 8 cm DVD-R disc, or (on) computers* with DVD-ROM drive, DVD-R drive or DVD-RAM drive. Although most DVD-R discs recorded on this DVD video camera/recorder are compatible for playback on other DVD players, playback of all DVD-R discs cannot be guaranteed. Depending on the DVD player, DVD-R disc, or recording conditions, playback may not be possible. In such cases, use this DVD video camera/recorder to play back the DVD-R disc. * To play back the finalized DVD-R disc on PC, you will need DVD playback software. The DVD playback software "PowerDVD XP" is supplied with the optional DZ-WINPC3(W). G Handling Disc If you use a DVD-RAM disc or DVD-R disc to which dirt or dust adheres, recognition of the disc may not be possible when it is inserted into this DVD video camera/recorder. Also, the DVD video camera/recorder may stop during recording or playback, or noise/disturbance of image may oc- cur during playback. The same phenomenon may appear if condensa- tion occurs because of abrupt change in tempera- ture. • If an error message appears on the LCD screen while this DVD video camera/recorder is being used, turn off the DVD video camera/recorder once, and then turn it on again (p. 100). • If an error message appears when the DVD video camera/recorder is being used in an en- vironment where the temperature is high or it is used continuously, turn off the DVD video cam- era/recorder, and after a while turn it on again. • If an error message appears when the DVD video camera/recorder is being used in an environment where the temperature is low, leave English it powered for several minutes, turn it off, and then on again. • When the disc is used for an extended period of time, the temperature will increase because of the heat inside the DVD video camera/recorder: Be careful when removing the disc. • Normally, do not remove the disc from the car- tridge or caddy, and do not open the shutter of cartridge or caddy. 23
