When “DISC ACCESS” disappears, the DVD

Note:
Immediately after a disc is inserted or recording is finished:
If the ACCESS/PC indicator is lit or blinking immediately
after a disc is inserted or recording is finished, then the disc
is spinning and disc information is being saved. If the power
supply is cut off while this is happening, the disc may
become unusable. For this reason, the power cord must not
be unplugged and the battery must not be removed when
the ACCESS/PC indicator is lit or blinking immediately after
a disc is inserted.
While the ACCESS/PC indicator is lit or blinking, do not
cause impact or vibration to the DVD Video Camera.
