be accidentally deleted and the disc cannot be initialized.
Howling:
This phenomenon occurs as follows: when the DVD Video Camera is connected to a device, such as TV,
the audio input to the microphone of DVD Video Camera is amplified and output from the speakers of TV,
and the signal is again input to the microphone. This is repeated to form an endless loop of audio signal,
and the signal is amplified up to the audio output amplitude limit of the device. Howling can be prevented
by changing the positional relationship between the DVD Video Camera and TV, or by turning down the
volume on TV.
