Note
•
Once you turn the DVD video camera/recorder on to let
it recognize the disc, you can immediately record or play
back by turning the DVD video camera/recorder on
again (DVD-RAM). However, if you remove the disc,
replace it, or if the date changes after power is turned on,
it will take some time for the DVD video camera/recorder
to start because it must recognize the disc again (see
page 161).
•
Once you have recorded on DVD-R disc and the disc is
left in DVD video camera/recorder, you can immediately
start recording when turning the DVD video camera/
recorder on next time (DVD-R disc).
•
It will take some time for the DVD video camera/recorder
to display the Disc Navigation screen after power is
turned on.
•
If you turn the DVD video camera/recorder on, the
ACCESS indicator will light or blink to show that the DVD
video camera/recorder is recognizing the disc or card:
During this time, no operation, such as recording, can be
performed.
After several seconds, the ACCESS indicator will go
out, and operating the DVD video camera/recorder will
be possible.
If the ACCESS indicator does not go out, refer to "Check
4" on page 161.
•
When the DVD video camera/recorder is turned on, the
self-diagnosis function will work and a message may
appear. In this case, refer to "Trouble Messages" on
page 163 and take corrective action.
•
While the ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit
or blinking, do not violently open or close the LCD
monitor.
