Handling Discs; Disc Cleaning - Hitachi DZ-MV3000E Instruction Manual

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 or CARD ACCESS 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.

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.
Lightly wash the dirty cleaning cloth with
detergent: The dirt removal capacity of the cloth
will improve (rinse the cloth well with water so
that no detergent remains).

• 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
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
While there is heat from a heater, etc.
