Handling Discs

●Using 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 Palmcorder, 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
− Blue thumbnail display
(Fig. 1)
− Disc cannot correctly be
recognized
− 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 Palmcorder at
extremely high or low temperatures, or in
environment where condensation is likely to
occur.
• When recording images,
the DVD Palmcorder may
avoid the portions of disc
where recording is not
possible, due to dust,
scratches, etc. [It will
pause . 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 Palmcorder, and
disc itself, may be hot.
