Information on DVD-R Disc

You cannot record a still on DVD-R disc, or delete

any recorded images or data.

For optimum recording on DVD-R disc, this DVD

video camera/recorder writes control data to the

disc in order to automatically make adjustments

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 recording is made, even if the

disc is removed and then reinserted.

lFinalising 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 compatible with 8 cm

DVD-R disc, the disc must be finalised on this DVD

video camera/recorder. For the finalising procedure

of 8 cm DVD-R disc, refer to “Finalising DVD-R

Disc” (P. 115).

Note:

• Do not insert a DVD-R disc recorded on this DVD video

camera/recorder but not finalised, into a recordable

device, such as a DVD video recorder: The recorded data

may be damaged.

• DVD-R discs edited and finalised on PC or those finalised

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:

• DVD-RAM (2.6 GB) Ver. 1.0 • DVD-ROM • MO

• DVD-R (3.9 GB) Ver. 1.0 • DVD-Video • MD

• DVD-R (4.7 GB) for Authoring Ver. 2.0 • CD-R • iD

Handling Discs

lUsing 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/

recorder, 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

− Grey Disc Navigation screen

− 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/

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 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/

recorder, and disc itself, may be hot.

lStoring 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.

Note:

• See page 75 when cleaning the removed disc.

• See page 74 for how to handle disc removed from Round

DVD Holder.

• See page 74 for how to set the disc removed from Round

DVD Holder or another disc correctly in Round DVD

Holder.

REMOVING AND REPLACING FROM/

IN ROUND DVD HOLDER

You can remove DVD-RAM or DVD-R disc used on

this DVD video camera/recorder from Round DVD

Holder and use the uncovered disc on DVD player,

DVD-RAM recorder, drive for PC, etc., which

conforms to 8 cm DVD-RAM or 8 cm DVD-R.

Removing disc from Round DVD Holder may vary

with the disc maker: See the disc instruction sheet.

The following explains the disc in Round DVD

Holder made by Panasonic.

It is recommended that you do not remove the disc

from Round DVD Holder until camera recording is

finished, in order to avoid getting dirt on disc.

Note:

Using discs removed from holders on various devices may

not always be possible.
