Important for United Kingdom
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value
of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the
sa
me rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a
replacement fuse cove r is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of
the plug. Fuse covers
are available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power
points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate
s
afety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately,
having first removed the fuse, to avoid a po
ssible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue= Neutral, Brown= Live
As these colours may not correspon
d with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured
BLUE or BLACK.
The wire coloured BROWN must be connected
to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured
BROWN or RED. On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or by the
earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

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/r
ecorder 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 (bla
ck dots) or may remain lit as coloured 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 te mpe rature 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 came ra/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 no
t 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/recor
der, 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 wher
e the
temperature is very high for a long time: This could cause malfunctions.
7
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 c
ause 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 o r electric appliances, noise could enter video and aud io that are being r
ecorded.
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 petrol or diesel engine, corrosive gas such as hydrogen sulfide, or sulfur such as in a hot spring
area, th
e external or internal terminals could corrode, which would disable normal operation, or
the battery connecting terminals could corrode, so powe r will no t 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 pa rticles could adhere to the optical head of the DVD video camera/recorder, which
coul
d 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/recor
der 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 Ma
xell 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 (vapour 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 vi
deo 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.

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
monit
or.
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 t
ouch 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
pl
ayback, or abnormal
sound
Blue thumbnail
display* (Fig. 1)
Disc cannot correctly
be recognised
Disc cannot be
initialised
Delay between video
and audio
Even if disc is normal, the above phenome
na
may occasionally occur. While the ACCESS
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 environm
ent 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, scratch
es,
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 cr
eated 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 cam
era/
recorder, and disc itself, may be ho t.
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.
