Handling Discs - Hitachi DZ-MV550A Instruction Manual

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 video camera/
recorder, 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
− Disc cannot be
initialized
− 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 video camera/
recorder at extremely high or low temperatures,
or in environment where condensation is likely
to occur.
• 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 m at such a
portion and
automatically restart
recording (n).]
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.
Do not touch
