Inserting a DVD

Close the lid.

After the lid is closed all the way, the camcorder will attempt to recognize the 
DVD. During this recognition process, the access/PC indicator flashes. While 
this is happening, do not remove the power source, shake the camcorder, or 
subject it to impact.

When you insert a new DVD-RW/+RW and the message which prompts you 
to format the disc appears, format the disc (p.6).

You can record on a DVD-RAM/DVD-R without formating.

Attach the charged battery pack to 
the camcorder, or connect the 
camcorder to a power outlet.

Turn the power switch to "

", 

then press down the disc eject 
switch until the access/PC indicator 
lights, then release.

After several seconds, the lid pops 
open. Open it fully with your hand.

Place the recording surface of the 
DVD face down, then push down 
on the center of the DVD until it 
clicks into place.

• For single-sided discs, the side 

opposite the label is the recording 
surface. 

• To record on the other side for 

double-sided discs, remove the 
disc (p.6), flip it over, and then 
reload it.
