Cautions When Using

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, turn the DVD video camera/recorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.

• Do not place the DVD video camera/recorder with the open LCD screen down.

• Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD video camera/recorder.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) and viewfinder:

• The LCD screen and viewfinder are the products of highly precise technology. Among the total

number of pixels (approx. 120,000 pixels for LCD monitor and equivalent to approx. 200,000 pixels

for viewfinder), 0.01% or less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as colored dots

(red, blue, green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a

fault that will interfere with recording.

• 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 immediately after power is turned on. Normal

brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the DVD video camera/recorder rises.

Hold the DVD video camera/recorder correctly:

• Do not hold the viewfinder or LCD monitor when lifting the DVD video camera/recorder: The

viewfinder or LCD monitor could detach and the DVD video camera/recorder may fall.

Do not subject the DVD video camera/recorder to impact:

• This DVD video camera/recorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it

against a hard object or let it fall.

• When using a tripod, firmly secure the DVD video camera/recorder on it. Do not use the DVD

video camera/recorder with a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe vibrations or impact.

No sand or dust!

• Fine sand or dust entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause

malfunctions or defects.

No water or oil!

• Water or oil entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause electric

shock, malfunctions or defects.

Heat on surface of product:

• The surfaces of the DVD video camera/recorder, AC adapter/charger and battery will be slightly

warm, but this does not indicate a fault.

Screen on connected TV:

• Never leave the disc navigation screen, still image or camera image displayed on your TV to which

the DVD video camera/recorder is connected: Doing so could result in displayed image retention

or phosphor degradation of TV screen.

Be careful of ambient temperature:

• Using the DVD video camera/recorder in a place where the temperature is over 40ºC or under 0ºC

will result in abnormal recording/playback.

• Take care that the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder, when connected to PC does

not rise excessively (reference for usage: approx. 30 minutes at about 30ºC).

• Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder on beach sand or in a closed vehicle where the

temperature is very high for a long time: This could cause malfunctions.

English

5

Do not point directly at the sun:

• If direct sunlight strikes the lens or viewfinder, the DVD video camera/recorder could malfunction

or a fire could occur.

• Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight: This

could cause malfunctions.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near TV or radio:

• This could cause noise to appear on the TV screen or in radio broadcasts.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near strong radio waves or magnetism:

• If the DVD video camera/recorder is used near strong radio waves or magnetism, such as near a

radio wave tower or electric appliances, noise could enter video and audio that are being recorded.

During playback of normally recorded video and audio, noise may also be present in picture and

sound.

At worst the DVD video camera/recorder could malfunction.

Do not expose the DVD video camera/recorder to soot or steam:

• Thick soot or steam could damage the DVD video camera/recorder case or cause malfunctions.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near corrosive gas:

• If the DVD video camera/recorder is used in a place where there is dense exhaust gas generated

by gasoline or diesel engine, corrosive gas such as hydrogen sulfide, or sulfur such as in a hot

spring area, the external or internal terminals could corrode, which would disable normal

operation, or the battery connecting terminals could corrode, so power will not turn on.

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 particles could adhere to the optical head of the DVD video camera/recorder, which

could cause it to operate abnormally.

Do not expose the DVD video camera/recorder to insecticide:

• Insecticide entering the DVD video camera/recorder could dirty the lens in laser pickup block,

and in such a case the DVD video camera/recorder might not operate normally. Turn the DVD

video camera/recorder off and cover it with vinyl sheet, etc. before using insecticide.

Do not use a generally available 8 cm CD lens cleaner:

• Cleaning the lens is not necessary when using this DVD video camera/recorder in the usual way.

• Using 8 cm CD lens cleaner could cause this DVD video camera/recorder to be faulty.

• If you have to clean the lens, use a Hitachi Maxell cleaner that is exclusively for 8 cm DVD discs.

Be careful of moisture condensation:

• When you move the DVD video camera/recorder between places where the difference in

temperatures is great – such as entering a lodge from a ski slope or going out of a cooled room or

vehicle – condensation (vapor in air warmed or cooled to water droplets) could occur on the lens

and/or inside the DVD video camera/recorder. If condensation occurs, do not open the cover of

disc or card insertion block if possible. If condensation occurs on the lens, wipe it off with a soft,

dry cloth. Even if the external surface of DVD video camera/recorder has dried, condensation may

remain inside: Turn the DVD video camera/recorder off and leave it in a dry place for at least 1 – 2

hours before using it again.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder for a long uninterrupted period of time:

• This DVD video camera/recorder cannot be used for a long time continuously as a surveillance

camera/monitor. If you use it for a long continuous period of time, the temperature of DVD video

camera/recorder could exceed the limit and the recording/playback operation may slow down or

other faults could occur. If this happens, turn it off and wait for a while before using it again.

English

6

Do not turn the DVD video camera/recorder off while the ACCESS/PC indicator or

CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or blinking:

• The ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or

blinking to show that data is being written to disc or card,

or being read from it. At this time, do not do any of the

following, so as not to damage the data:

− Remove battery

• Dust entering the DVD video camera/recorder could cause malfunctions. If the humidity is high,

the lens could be moldy, and the DVD video camera/recorder could become inoperable. It is

recommended that you put the DVD video camera/recorder with desiccant in a box when storing

it in a closet, etc.

Do not store the DVD video camera/recorder in a place subject to strong

magnetism or intense vibrations:

• This could cause malfunctions.

Detach the battery from the DVD video camera/recorder and store it in a cool place:

• Leaving the battery attached or storing it at high temperature could shorten its life.

Suggestions and Restrictions

Make a trial recording:

• Always make a trial recording before doing actual recording to make sure that recording is normal.

The data that have not been stored normally because of a defect in the DVD video camera/

recorder cannot be restored.

It is recommended that you use DVD-RAM disc from which recorded contents can be deleted for

trial recording.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder for professional applications:

• This DVD video camera/recorder is designed and produced for home-use recording and playback.

The recorded contents cannot be compensated for:

• Hitachi cannot compensate for any damages caused when recording is not made normally or

CLEANING

Be sure to set the power switch to “OFF” before cleaning this DVD video camera/recorder.

●Cleaning LCD screen and camera

lens

Use dry, soft cloth to wipe dirt off. When

cleaning the LCD screen, be careful not to use

force, scratch it, or subject it to impact: Doing

such could cause a defect in the screen, result in

display unevenness, or damage the LCD

monitor.

●If dust adheres to the viewfinder

lens, remove it using a cotton

swab, etc.

Do not rub the lens with force: Doing so could

scratch the lens.

●Do not use benzene or thinner to

clean DVD video camera/recorder

case

The coating of case could peel off or the case

could deteriorate. Wipe off dirt on the case with

a moist cloth which has been completely wrung

out. When using chemical cleaning cloth, follow

instructions for use.

HANDLING DISCS

●Using discs

Discs are very delicate recording media.

Carefully read the following cautions and

observe them:

• Always use a brand new disc when recording

important material.

• Be sure not to touch the recording surface of

disc, or dirty or scratch 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 recognized

− Disc cannot be

initialized

− 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/recorder at extremely high or

low temperatures, or in environment where

condensation is likely to occur.

• When recording images,

the DVD video camera/

recorder may avoid the

portions of disc where

recording is not possible,

due to dust, scratches,

etc. [It will pause 9 at

such a portion and

automatically restart

recording (:).]

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/

recorder, and disc itself, may be hot.

●Storing discs

• When storing disc, replace it in the plastic case

in which it was purchased.

• 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

− Where there is heat from a heater, etc.

DISC CLEANING

Use the disc cleaning cloth provided to lightly

wipe off any dirt adhering to the disc as shown

in the figure. Do not wipe the disc with force:

Doing so could cause scratches.

Never use solvent (thinner, water, antistat or

detergent) for cleaning.

Lightly wash the dirty cleaning cloth with

detergent: The dirt removal capacity of the cloth

will improve (rinse the cloth well with water so

that no detergent remains).
