Symptom
An error message for
repair appears.
If during recording light
(sunlight, etc.) enters the
DVD video camera/
recorder through the lens
from above, ghosts may
occur in the recorded
image.
During playback
Symptom
Recognition of disc is
not complete.
Pressing the playback
button will not start
playback.
No playback picture
appears on TV screen.
Playback picture is
momentarily interrupted.
No sound.
Cause and Correction
Perform repair following the instructions on screen.
Repair is possible when the DVD video camera/recorder is powered
by the AC adapter/charger. If you are using the HDD and have
detected an error in part of video file, a battery can also be used for
repair (if the remaining battery level indicator shows more than
half level).
It will take from a few minutes to several hours for repair. If you
wish to start recording immediately, remove the disc, and then
insert another disc: The removed disc can later be repaired by
connecting the AC adapter/charger.
This is not a fault.
Adjust the angle of the DVD video camera/recorder so that
sunlight, etc. does not enter.
Putting a protective hand over the lens may improve the ghosts.
