player, etc. that conforms to 8 cm DVD-R: No further recording can be made on a finalized DVD-R disc.
HOWLING:
This phenomenon occurs as follows: When the DVD video camera/recorder is connected to a device,
such as TV, the audio input to the microphone of DVD video camera/recorder is amplified and output
from the speakers of TV, and the signal is again input to the microphone: This is repeated to form an
endless loop of audio signal, and the signal is amplified up to the audio output amplitude limit of the
device. Howling can be prevented by changing the positional relationship between the DVD video
camera/recorder and TV, or by turning down the volume on TV.
