Cautions on HDD

Save the data recorded on HDD:

• To back up the data recorded on HDD, save it on a DVD. It is also recommended that you use this

DVD video camera/recorder to dub the data. You can also use a PC to save the data on a DVD.

• It is recommended that you periodically save your recordings.

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

• This could result in the HDD not being recognised or recording, playback or dubbing to become

impossible.

• Do not subject this DVD video camera/recorder to any vibrations or impact especially during

recording, playback or dubbing, or while the ACCESS/PC indicator is lit or blinking.

• If vibrations to this DVD video camera/recorder are repeated, or the drop status of DVD video

camera/recorder is detected (see page 68), recording, playback or dubbing will stop to protect the

HDD in this DVD video camera/recorder.

Carefully check the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder:

• If the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder is too high or too low, normal recording or

playback may not be possible.

• If the power switch is set to “HDD” with the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder too

high or too low, message “The temperature of HDD is outside the operating temperature range.

Turn off power.” may appear to protect the HDD. Even if this happens, setting the power switch to

“DVD” may allow you to use the DVD video camera/recorder with a DVD, so it is recommended

that you carry a spare DVD even if you intend to record on the HDD.

This DVD video camera/recorder cannot be used at high altitude:

• Note that the DVD video camera/recorder cannot be used in a place where the atmospheric

pressure is low, such as 3,000 meters or more above sea-level.

Do not place this DVD video camera/recorder near a magnet or magnetic field:

• If you so, recording, playback or dubbing may not be possible.

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.

Please note in advance that Hitachi will not accept any liability or make compensation for loss

of data, or direct or indirect damage when recording or playback is not performed normally

due to a fault in this DVD video camera/recorder. This also applies to repairs on this DVD

video camera/recorder (including repair of components other than HDD).

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

recorded contents cannot be played back because of a defect in the DVD video camera/

recorder, disc or card. Also, Hitachi cannot be responsible for your recorded video and audio.

• If you or a third party make a mistake when handling this DVD video camera/recorder, disc,

card, etc., the recorded contents may be lost. We cannot be responsible for compensation for

damage due to loss of recorded contents.

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 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.

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.

●Cleaning DVD Video Camera/

Recorder Case

Do not wipe the DVD video camera/recorder

case hard with any foreign object, such as grit,

adhering to it, and do not use rough fabrics to

clean the case: Doing so could scratch it.

Use soft cloth, etc. to gently wipe dirt off the case.

●Do not use benzene or thinner to

clean DVD video c amera/recorder

case

The coating of case could peel off or the case

could deteriorate. Wipe off dirt on the case with

a soft 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 recognised

− Disc cannot be

initialised

− 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.
