Note
:
•
Once you turn the DVD Palmcorder on to let it recognize
the disc, you can immediately record or play back by
turning the DVD Palmcorder on again. However, if you
remove the disc, replace it, or if the date changes after
power is turned on, it will take some time for the DVD
Palmcorder to start because it must recognize the disc
again (See page 148).
•
It will take some time for the DVD Palmcorder to display
the Disc navigation screen after power is turned on.
•
If you turn the DVD Palmcorder on, the ACCESS indicator
will light or blink to show that the DVD Palmcorder is
recognizing the disc or card: During this time, no
operation, such as recording, can be performed.
After several seconds, the ACCESS indicator will go out,
and operating the DVD Palmcorder will be possible.
•
When the DVD Palmcorder is turned on, the self-
diagnosis function will work and a message may appear.
In this case, refer to “Error Messages” on page 150 and
take corrective action.
•
While the ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit
or blinking, do not violently open or close the LCD
monitor.
