Handling Discs
lUsing discs
DVD-RAM and DVD-R 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 disc surface, and be
careful that no dirt adheres to it.
• If there is dust, a scratch, or 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 Video Camera at
extremely high or low temperatures, or in an
environment where condensation is likely to
occur.
• When recording images,
the DVD Video Camera
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.
• Be careful when removing the disc since the
metal of removal slot of DVD Video Camera, and
disc itself, may be hot.
lStoring discs
• To store a disc, insert it in the plastic case you
received when you purchased it.
• Take care that no condensation occurs on disc.
• Do not place disc in the following places:
− Direct sunlight for a long time
− Where humidity is high or in dusty place
− Where there is heat from a heater, etc.
lDisc Cleaning
Use Disc Cleaning Cloth to lightly wipe off any dust,
dirt, etc. adhering to disc, as shown in the figure.
Never use solvent. Do not use thinner, water, anti-
static spray, etc. to clean disc.
Note:
Disc Cleaning Cloth is supplied with product.
We also recommend using a DVD Disc cleaner (model no.
LF-K200DCJ1, sold separately).
