convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the appliance.
7 Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of
the video product and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the

recommended by the video product manufacturer as
they may cause hazards.
Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline operated
equipment or accessories connected to this unit should
bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the
accessory itself and should not have been modified so as
to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any
potential hazard from electric shock or fire. If in doubt,
contact qualified service personnel.
9 Water and Moisture — Do not use this video product

Cautions When Using
English
Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:
• The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with a sharp
object.
• If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear soon,

less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as colored dots (red, blue, green). This shows
the limitations of th e current technol ogy , and does not indicate a fault that will inter fere with r ecording.
• The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly dimmer than usual when the DVD video camera/
recorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or im mediately after power is turne d on. Normal
brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the DVD video camera/recorder rises.

gas such as hydrogen sulfide, could corro de the battery connecting terminals, which could result in l oss
of power.
Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near ultrasonic humidifier:
• With some water in humidifier, calcium and other chemicals dissolved in water could scatter in the air,
and white particle s coul d adher e to the opti cal h ead of the D VD video camera/ r ecor der, which co uld
cause it to operate abnormally.
Do not expose the DVD video camera/recorder to insecticide:
• Insecticide entering the DVD video camera/r ecorder could dirty lens in laser pickup block, so the DVD
video camera/reco rder might not operate nor mally . T urn the DVD video camera/r ecorder off and co ver
it with vinyl she e t, e tc . be fore using insecticide .
Do not use a generally available 8 cm CD lens cleaner:

INFORMATION ON DVD-R DISC
English
Y ou ca nnot record a still on DVD-R di s c, or delet e
any recorded images or data.
For optimum r e cording on DVD-R disc , t h is D VD
video camera/recorder writes control data to the
disc in order to automatically make a djustments
when it is inserted and ejected accompanying
recording. If the disc has no area to be written for
adjustment, recording may not be possible. To
prevent this, do not insert or eject a DVD-R disc
accompanying recording more than 50 times. The
DVD video camera/recorder will not perform
“write adjustment” when the DVD video camera/
recorder is turned on again, from off, for recording
with the disc in it, or when no reco rding is made,
even if the disc is removed and then reinserted.
●Finalizing DVD-R disc
Before using the 8 cm DVD-R disc provided on this
DVD video camera/recorder on a DVD player or
DVD video recorder that is c o m p at ib le with 8 cm
DVD-R disc, the disc must b e finalized on this DVD
video camera/recorde r. For the finalizing
procedure of 8 cm DVD-R disc, refer to “Finalizing
DVD-R Disc” (P. 127).
Note:
• Do not insert a DVD-R disc recorded on this DVD video
camera/recorder but not finalized, into a recordable
device, such as a DVD video recorder: The recorded data
may be damaged.
• DVD-R discs edited and finalized on PC or those finalized
on another DVD video recorder may not be playable on
this DVD video camera/recorder, depending on the
editing software used or recorded status of DVD-R disc.
EXAMPLES OF DISCS THAT CANNOT BE USED ON THIS DVD VIDEO CAMERA/
RECORDER:

●Using discs
DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs are very delic a t e
recording media. Carefully read the following
cautions and observe them:
• When using disc on this DVD video camera/
recorder , be sure to keep it in Round DV D Holder.
• Always use a brand new disc when recording
important material.
• Be sure n ot to touch the disc
exposed portion, and be
careful that no dirt adheres to
it.
• If there is dust, scratch, di rt on
disc or if it is warped, the
following phenomena may occur:
− Block noise in playback
image
− Momentary stop of playback
image
− Sound in t e rrup t e d du ring
playback, or abnormal sound
− Blue thumbnail
display* (Fig. 1)
− Disc cannot corre ctly be
recognized
− Delay between video
and audio
Even if disc is normal, the
above phenomena may
occasionally occur. While the ACCESS/PC
indicator is lit, do n ot subject disc to vibrations or
impact, and avoid using DVD video camera/
recorder at extremely high or low temperatur es,
or in environment where condensation is likely
to occur.
• When reco rding images ,
the DVD video camera/
record er may avoid t he
portions of disc where
recording is not possible ,
due to dust, scratches, etc.
[It will pause
at such a
portion and automatically
restart recording (
).]
This will cause recording
to be interrupted for sev e ral 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/
recorder, and disc itself, may be hot.
