Re

ommended DVD dis
c
s
It is recommended that you use Hitachi Maxell HG type single-sided discs, since their compatibility with
this DVD video camera/recorder has been confirmed. When using an HG type double-sided disc, take
great care with handling it. Using a disc other than these discs may not allow the DVD video camera/
recorder to deliver optimum performance.
