INFORMATION ON DVD-R DISC
You cannot record a still on DVD-R disc, or
delete any recorded images or data.
For optimum recording on DVD-R disc, this
DVD video camera/recorder writes control data
to the disc in order to automatically make
adjustments when it is inserted and ejected
accompanying recording. If the disc has no area
to be written for adjustment, recording may not
be possible. To prevent this, do not insert or eject
a DVD-R disc accompanying recording more
than 100 times.
Although some models are compatible with the
VR mode using DVD-R disc, this DVD video
camera/recorder is not compatible with that
mode.
●Finalizing DVD-R disc
Before using the 8 cm DVD-R disc provided on
this DVD video camera/recorder on a DVD
player or DVD video recorder that is compatible
with 8 cm DVD-R disc, the disc must be
finalized on this DVD video camera/recorder.
For the finalizing procedure of 8 cm DVD-R disc,
refer to “FINALIZING DVD-R DISC (FINALIZE
DISC)” (p. 135).
Note:
• When using an unformatted DVD-R disc, it is
necessary to format it on this DVD video camera/
recorder (see page 46).
• Do not insert a DVD-R disc recorded on this DVD
video camera/recorder but not finalized, into a
recordable device, such as a DVD recorder: The
recorded data may be damaged (except for devices
that allow playback of a DVD-R disc not finalized on
this DVD video camera/recorder).
• DVD-R discs edited and finalized on PC or those
finalized on another DVD recorder may not be
playable on this DVD video camera/recorder,
depending on the editing software used or recorded
status of DVD-R disc.
• If you insert a DVD-R disc recorded on a DVD video
camera/recorder other than DZ-GX20A, DZ-MV780A
or DZ-MV730A and not finalized, the Disc Navigation
screen will automatically start, and no recording can
be done on the disc nor can it be finalized.
