HDD, DISCS
Note:
This DVD video camera/recorder can use only the 8-cm bare discs not packed in a square cartridge, square caddy
case or round DVD holder. The discs in a square cartridge, square caddy case or round DVD holder can be used if
they are removed from the package, but take great care not to dirty or scratch the bare disc.
It is recommended that you use Hitachi Maxell HG type single-sided discs, since their compatibility with this DVD
video camera/recorder has been confirmed. When using an HG type double-sided disc, take great care with handling
it. Using a disc other than these discs may not allow the DVD video camera/recorder to deliver optimum performance.
INFORMATION ON DVD-R
For optimum recording on DVD-R, 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 accompanying recording more than 100 times.
This DVD video camera/recorder cannot record a DVD-R in the VR mode.
NOTES ON FINALIZATION
Do not insert a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded or dubbed on this DVD video camera/recorder but
not finalized, into a recordable device, such as a DVD recorder: The recorded data may be
damaged.
Use only DZ-HS303A/HS300A to record/dub or finalize a DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R/+RW
recorded or dubbed on this DVD video camera/recorder but not finalized: Using any other device
could damage the data recorded on the disc.
DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW 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-RW/DVD-R/+RW.
If you insert a DVD-R recorded on a DVD video camera/recorder other than DZ-HS303A/HS300A and
not finalized, the Disc Navigation screen will automatically start, and no recording can be done on the disc
nor can it be finalized.
Do not insert a DVD-RW/DVD-R that was recorded by a DVD recorder manufactured by a company other
than Hitachi, and which has not been finalized, in this DVD video camera/recorder: Doing so will make the
disc unusable.
