Handling Discs
●
Using discs
DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs are very delicate
recording media. Carefully read the following
cautions and observe them:
• When using disc on this DVD Video Camera, be
sure to keep it in Round DVD Holder.
• Always use a brand new disc when recording
important material.
• Be sure not to touch the disc
exposed portion, and be
careful that no dirt adheres to
it.
• If there is dust, scratch, dirt on
disc or if it is warped, the
following phenomena may occur:
−
Block noise in playback
image
−
Momentary stop of playback
image
−
Sound interrupted during
playback, or abnormal sound
−
Blue thumbnail display*
(Fig. 1)
−
Disc cannot correctly be
recognised
−
Delay between video
and audio
Even if disc is normal, the
above phenomena may
occasionally occur. While the ACCESS/PC
indicator is lit, do not subject disc to vibrations or
impact, and avoid using DVD Video Camera at
extremely high or low temperatures, or in
environment where condensation is likely to
occur.
• When recording images,
the DVD Video Camera
may avoid the portions of
disc where recording is not
possible, due to dust,
scratches, etc. [It will
pause
m
at such a
portion and automatically
restart recording (
n
).]
This will cause recording
to be interrupted for several seconds to several
minutes, and multiple thumbnails will be created
by one recording session as shown above. In this
case, the recordable time on disc will decrease.
• Be careful when removing the disc since the
metal of removal slot of DVD Video Camera, and
disc itself, may be hot.
●
Storing discs
• When storing disc, insert it in Round DVD Holder
into plastic case.
• Be careful that no condensation occurs on disc.
• Do not place disc in following places:
−
Direct sunlight for a long time
−
Where humidity is high or in dusty place
−
While there is heat from a heater, etc.
