PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics. These are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for a higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in this Service Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by marking with a on the schematics and the

parts list in this Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety characteristics as the HITACHI recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire, or other hazards. Product safety is continuously under review and new instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest information, always consult the current HITACHI Service Manual. A subscription to, or additional copies for, HITACHI Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal charge from HITACHI SALES CORPORATION.

Most discs for video camera use (for AV) can be removed from their cartridges for recording. Some discs for PC, however, cannot be removed from their cartridges, and some can be removed but recording cannot be made on them. For details, read the instruction sheet provided with discs or consult the disc maker.

Examples of discs that cannot be used on this DVD video camera/recorder:

8 cm DVD-RAM discs for PC, CD, DVD-ROM, DVD-Video, MO, MD, iD, floppy disks,etc.

E1 - 3

2.5 Initializing (formatting) DVD- RAM Discs

(1)

(2)

This DVD video camera/recorder can use only DVD-RAM discs for AV formatted in accordance with the UDF 2.01 file system: No recording can be made on an unformatted disc.

2.6 Handling DVD- RAM Disc

When the DVD-RAM disc is used for an extended period of time, the temperature will increase because of the heat

inside the DVD video camera/recorder: Be careful when removing the disc.

The DVD-RAM disc is a very delicate recording medium. Leave the disc in the cartridge when using it in this DVD

video camera/recorder.

Do not remove the disc from the cartridge unless needed, and do not open the shutter of cartridge.

Be sure not to touch disc surfaces.

Take great care so as not to scratch or stain disc.

Be careful not to allow the cartridge with disc to fall.

Be careful not to allow condensation.

To store disc cartridge, insert it in plastic case provided. Do not place the disc cartridge in following places:

Where exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. Where the humidity is high, or in dusty place. Where exposed to heat from heater, etc. Where there may be condensation.

2.7 Removing DVD- RAM Disc from Cartridge

The DVD-RAM disc used with this DVD video camera/recorder can be removed from the cartridge and used with DVD-RAM drives, DVD players and DVD recorders that are compatible with 8 cm DVD-RAM discs. Refer to the disc instruction sheet for details on how to remove disc from cartridge. Perform the following to remove the disc provided:

Removing the disc

1) Release the lock pins of cartridge.

The two lock pins are at the bottom left corners of sides A and B. Use a fine tipped pen to slide the lock pin in the direction of arrow (1) and then turn it in the direction of arrow (2) to release it.

2) While pushing the release levers from both

sides inward, hold the center of disc tray and pull it out to the front.

Replacing the disc in cartridge

1) Insert the disc into cartridge.

2) Fit in the disc tray until a click is heard.

The side that will be recorded when SIDE A of disc faces the hand strap is the opposite side to the "SIDE A" indication.

Cautions:

Laser

side A indication of disc

Most generally available 8 cm DVD- RAM discs can be removed from cartridges if they are for video cameras; However, before removing disc from cartridge, read the instruction sheet provided with the disc or consult the disc maker.

Surface to be recorded

Take care with the following when handling the removed disc:

Be sure not to touch disc surfaces. Be careful not to drop the disc removed from cartridge. Be sure not to bend the disc. Do not leave the disc outside the cartridge. Do not subject the disc to heat. Do not write on disc with a ball- point pen or pencil. Be sure not to wipe disc surfaces with thinner,water or anti- static agent.

Use dry, soft cloth to lightly wipe off dust or dirt that adheres to the disc. Never use solvents to clean the disc. If the disc is removed from cartridge and the data stored by this DVD video camera/recorder is rewritten on devices other than this DVD video camera/recorder,recording or playback may not be normal,or Disc Navigation may not operate normally,when the disc replaced in cartridge is used on this DVD video camera/recorder again. The cartridge protects the surfaces of disc on which high- density recording is possible.Once removed from cartridge, the disc can be replaced in the cartridge and used with this DVD video camera/recorder, but be sure to observe the following: Before replacing the disc in cartridge, make sure that disc surfaces are not scratched,and that no dirt or fingerprint adheres to them. Do not record,edit or delete on the disc when scratches, dirt or fingerprints cannot be removed even if disc surface is cleaned.

When replacing the disc in cartridge, insert it until a click is heard. Writing similar to recording is be performed even with simple editing or deletion. Make sure that editing or deletion has been securely performed with the disc removed from cartridge.

Write-protect tabs

The DVD-RAM disc cartridge has write-protect tabs to prevent overwriting on recorded data. Make sure that the write-protect tab is set to the side where recording is possible.

Cautions:

Dust, scratches or dirt on the disc surface may cause block noise because of the principle of disc recording. This does not indicate a fault. Be careful when handling the disc so that no dirt or fingerprints adheres to the disc. This DVD video camera/recorder has a function that allows recording, avoiding portions of the disc with dust, scratches or dirt [The DVD video camera/recorder sets to pause ( ) status and automatically restarts recording ( REC )] . This will interrupt recording for several seconds to several minutes, and multiple thumbnails will be created in one recording as shown in the figure. In this case, the recordable time will decrease.

Message

Control info. error

Disc error

No more scenes Play List was deleted

Write protected Check cartridge

Battery is low Please charge battery

Cannot combine Select multiple scenes Cannot combine Deselect stills

Scenes over limit Cannot divide

Scenes over limit Cannot add scenes

Cause

Mismatch may occur between the recorded image and scene infor mation.

Disc may be dirty.

Mismatch in recording information may be caused by editing done on some device other than this DVD video camera/recorder. Disc may be dirty.

All scenes are unloaded from the play list.

-----

The number of entered scenes has reached the limit that can be entered.

The number of scenes entered in play list has reached the limit that can be entered.

Troubleshooting

Update the control information.

Remove the disc and wipe off fingerprints, dust, etc. before reusing it, or use another disc.

Initialize the disc or use another disc.

Remove the disc and wipe off fingerprints, dust, etc. before reusing it, or use another disc.

-----

Release write-protect of cartridge.

Replace with a charged battery.

Select a range of at least 2 scenes to be combined, and then combine them. Select only movies and combine them.

Delete (unload) several scenes.

Unload several scenes.

Technical explanation

This appears when editing, etc. was performed near the limit (999 scenes or 13MB) of media on devices other than this DVD video camera/ recorder, or on user operated control files. (*1) The message appears when reading recorded files or writing data to files is not possible. If the message still appears after the disc is replaced with normal one, there is a problem in the DVD video camera/recorder. This appears when user is operating information (control) files.

The message appears when reading recorded files or writing data to files is not possible. If the message still appears after the disc is replaced with normal one, there will be nay problem in the DVD video camera/ recorder. If all scenes have been removed from play list on the play list select or editing screen, the play list will automatically be deleted, and then this message will appear. This appears with write protected disc when some writing to disc, such as addition, deletion of scenes, etc., is to be executed. If the battery remaining level is the same as the indication of battery mark blinking during editing, this message will appear and editing will not be possible. This is an issue on operation.

This appears when stills are to be combined and the still combining function is not installed. This appears if scene is to be divided (increased) when the number of scenes has reached the upper limit of 999. (*1) This appears when the number of scenes has reached 999 and scenes are still to be added to play list. (*1)

Faulty or not

Error on disc

Same as above

None

E1 - 9

Message

Cannot remove scenes

Cannot delete scenes

Please update disc

Disc id full

Reformat for camera Continue?

Error on disc All data will be deleted Continue?

Cause

This may occur when scene that was edited for division, etc. is to be unload.

This may occur when scene that was edited for division, etc. is to be deleted. The thumbnail at the start of program or play list may not appear when disc edited on device other than this DVD video camera/recorder is used, or, when editing, such as combining, is performed on this DVD video camera/ recorder.

The number of entered scenes has reached the limit that can be entered, so the control information for generating thumbnails cannot be added. Has the disc been initialized on a PC?

Has initializing the disc on a PC been interrupted?

Troubleshooting

Combine the divided scenes, and then unload them.

Combine the divided scenes, and then delete them.

If thumbnail is information is insufficient, Disc Navigation will automatically create thumbnails after it starts.

Combine several scenes or delete (unload) them.

Choose "Yes" and initialize the disc when using it on this DVD video camera/recorder.

Technical explanation

This appears if CELL is to be divided (increased) when the number of CELLs has reached the limit of 999. (If recording continues without editing on this DVD video camera/ recorder, 1 scene will make up 1 EP or 1 CELL. If scenes are combined, the number of EPs will decrease, but the number of CELLs will not decrease. If CELL is to be divided at the upper limit number of CELLs, several scenes must be deleted in this status without traversing multiple CELLs. (*2) Same as above.

This appears if a disc in which EP is not attached to the beginning of program or play list is inserted (this occurs when EP was not attached to the beginning of program or play list when editing was performed on devices other than this DVD video camera/ recorder, or scenes traversing multiple programs were combined, and thumbnails cannot be displayed on Disc Navigation screen). This message appears when Disc Navigation is started first after power is supplied: Operation following message instructions will attach EP to the beginning of program or play list, thereby enabling thumbnails to be displayed. This appears if the number of scenes has reached 999 when control information is being updated. (*1)

This appears if the disc has a file that has been recorded in a format that cannot be detected by UDF2.0. (This problem will be solved if the disc is formatted on this DVD video camera/recorder.) This appears if the disc has logically been destroyed. (The problem frequently occurs because of problem in the UDF file system.) Although the disc for which this message appeared cannot be used as is, it may be usable after it is initialized (Note, however, that all recorded data will be deleted).

Faulty or not

None

None. However, the disc has a problem in compatibility.

None

(1) Error Reading Repair movie file?

(2) Error Reading Repair movie file?

(3) Error occurred Try to fix Standby Continue?

Cause

The disc may be dirty.

Disc error could have occurred during editing of scenes.

-----

The temperature inside the DVD video camera/ recorder is too high, and reading or writing of the data on disc may not be performed normally.

It is possible that the system cannot normally complete writing of file when power is turned off for some reason during recording or editing (deleting, dividing or combining scenes, or creating play list). Selecting "Yes" will automatically repair the video file, but even if "No" is selected, the same message will appear when the DVD video camera/recorder is turned on next time. (Do not remove the disc while the DVD video camera/ recorder is recognizing it: lqnoring this will deactivate the file repair function.)

Troubleshooting

Remove the disc and wipe off fingerprints, dust, etc. before reusing it, or use another disc.

Turn off the DVD video camera/recorder with the disc being used in it, connect AC adapter/charger, and then power the DVD video camera/ recorder again. Scenes will be repaired.

Delete unnecessary scenes before using this disc, or use another disc.

Turn the DVD video camera/ recorder off and wait for a while. The temperature will be effectively decreased if the DVD video camera/recorder is placed in a well-ventilated spot.

Follow the instructions on screen, taking note of the following cautions:

Data may not be repaired, depending on the timing when power was turned off. Data may not be repaired normally if data recorded on another recorder is mixed in. The repaired data may be different from the original recorded content because of partial deletion of defective portion. Since the date/time for repair is added to the repaired data (only the corrected portion for partial repair), the original date/time information will be lost. Since all movies, and then all stills, are repaired, the order of recorded contents will be lost. (In case of message (3) only)

Technical explanation

This appears if formatting of disc could not be normally performed (writing could not be done to specified address). This appears if power is shut off for some reason during movie recording. This DVD video camera/recorder has a function that automatically saves files if power is shut off during movie recording: This function will repair some files when the DVD video camera/ recorder is restarted (it may take 10-20 minutes to repair files). The DVD video camera/ recorder must be stably powered using AC adapter for restart. This may appear if some operation, such as adding thumbnails, etc., is attempted when the recordable area on disc has been nearly used up. This appears if recording, playback, etc. is performed in an environment near the limit of allowable operating temperature (humidity) for an extended time. This message will not appear in ordinary situations of use, and reliability of recorded data will decrease in a situation where this message appears. This DVD video camera/ recorder has a function that automatically saves files if power is shut off during movie recording: This function will repair some files when the DVD video camera/recorder is restarted (it may take 10-20 minutes to repair files), and the message will appear at this time. The DVD video camera/ recorder must be stably powered using AC adapter for restart. Same as above

Message

Use AC adapter

Error occurred Please charge/format disc

*1: The number of recordable scenes on this DVD video camera/recorder is 999: Since the maximum number of EPs (record

ing points) defined by the RTR standard (DVD-RAM recording standard) is 999, and 1 EP is allocated to 1 scene, this limitation exists.

*2: The number of recordable CELLs (minimum recording unit) on this DVD video camera/recorder is 999. This limitation

exists because the maximum number of CELLs defined by the RTR standard (DVD-RAM recording standard) is 999.

Cause

Scene cannot be repaired when the DVD video camera/recorder is powered by a battery.

Abnormality with the disc to be repaired.

Troubleshooting

If the AC adapter/charger is unavailable in handy place, remove the disc, use the opposite side, or use another disc. To repair the removed disc, insert the disc into the DVD video camera/recorder afterwards, and connect the AC adapter/charger.

Initialize the disc before using it again, or use the other side of the same disc or another disc.

Technical explanation

This DVD video camera/ recorder has a function that automatically saves files if power is shut off during movie recording: This function will repair some files when the DVD video camera/recorder is restarted. Since it may take 10-20 minutes for file repair work, the DVD video camera/ recorder must be stably powered using AC adapter: The message will appear at this time. Note that if power is again shut off while files are being repaired, restoration of those files being repaired will no longer be possible. This message appears if there is a problem in the disc or in this DVD video camera/ recorder. If the problem is not resolved after multiple tries of troubleshooting on the left, the problem is in the DVD video camera/recorder.

Faulty or not

None

8. For the Battery

Be sure to use the specified battery:

Using other batteries could cause faulty video camera/recorder operation, or possibly a fire.

Store the battery in a dark, cool place:

If your store it in a place where the temperature is high, the battery life will be shortened. Especially be sure not to store the battery in an environment (in a closed vehicle) over 140 °F (60 °C): Neglecting this could damage the battery.

Battery life:

The battery can be repeatedly charged and used, but will eventually be dead: The battery life varies greatly depending on the ambient environment and how often the video camera/recorder is used. If the usable time of video camera/recorder with a fully charged battery is noticeably short, the battery is probably dead.

Disposing of the dead battery:

Dispose of battery safely in accordance with local laws. Do not dispose of in fire.

Be sure not to do the following:

DANGER

Short-circuit battery terminals. Disassemble or modify the battery. Throw the battery into fire.

Cautions:

During and after charging, the battery will be warm, but this does not indicate a fault. If the POWER indicator on AC adapter/charger blinks, remove the battery once, and then reattach it. If the POWER indicator still blinks, the battery may be faulty. If the ambient temperature is a little too high or low, the CHG. indicator or CHG.80 indicator on AC adapter/charger will blink at 6-second intervals. In this case, charging is possible, but it will take longer than usual. If the ambient temperature is too low or too high, the CHG. indicator or CHG.80 indicator on AC adapter/charger will blink at one-second intervals, showing that charging will not be possible.
