Recording not possible
Recording possible
• The cartridge protects the surfaces of disc on which high-density recording is possible. Once removed
from cartridge, the disc can be replaced in the cartridge and used with this DVD camcorder, but be sure
to observe the following:
• Before replacing the disc in cartridge, make sure that disc surfaces are not scratched, and that no
dirt or fingerprint adheres to them.
• Do not record, edit or delete on the disc when scratches, dirt or fingerprints cannot be removed even
if disc surface is cleaned.
• When replacing the disc in cartridge, insert it until a click is heard.
• Writing similar to recording is be performed even with simple editing or deletion. Make sure that
editing or deletion has been securely performed with the disc removed from cartridge.
Write-protect tabs
The DVD-RAM disc cartridge has
write-protect tabs to prevent overwrit-
ing on recorded data. Make sure that
the write-protect tab is set to the side
where recording is possible.
Cautions:
• Dust, scratches or dirt on the disc surface may cause block
noise because of the principle of disc recording. This does not
indicate a fault. Be careful when handling the disc so that no
dirt or fingerprints adheres to the disc.
• This DVD camcorder has a function that allows recording,
avoiding portions of the disc with dust, scratches or dirt [The
DVD camcorder sets to pause ( ) status and automatically
restarts recording ( )]. This will interrupt recording for
several seconds to several minutes, and multiple thumbnails
will be created (see p. 98) in one recording as shown in the
figure. In this case, the recordable time will decrease.
(Two or more thumbnails may be
created even in one recording.)
