INFORMATION ON DVD-R DISC You cannot record a still on DVD-R disc, or delete any recorded images or data. For optimum recording on DVD-R disc, this DVD video camera/recorder writes control data to the disc in order to automatically make adjustments when it is inserted and ejected accompanying recording. If the disc has no area to be written for adjustment, recording may not be possible. To prevent this, do not insert or eject a DVD-R disc accompanying recording more than 100 times. Although some models are compatible with the VR mode using DVD-R disc, this DVD video camera/recorder is not compatible with that mode. ●Finalizing DVD-R disc Before using the 8 cm DVD-R disc provided on this DVD video camera/recorder on a DVD player or DVD video recorder that is compatible with 8 cm DVD-R 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 DVD-R DISC (FINALIZE DISC)" (p. 135). Note: • When using an unformatted DVD-R disc, it is necessary to format it on this DVD video camera/ recorder (see page 46). • Do not insert a DVD-R disc recorded on this DVD video camera/recorder but not finalized, into a recordable device, such as a DVD recorder: The recorded data may be damaged (except for devices that allow playback of a DVD-R disc not finalized on this DVD video camera/recorder). • DVD-R discs edited and finalized on PC or those finalized on another DVD recorder may not be playable on this DVD video camera/recorder, depending on the editing software used or recorded status of DVD-R disc. • If you insert a DVD-R disc recorded on a DVD video camera/recorder other than DZ-GX20A, DZ-MV780A or DZ-MV730A and not finalized, the Disc Navigation screen will automatically start, and no recording can be done on the disc nor can it be finalized.
