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 50 times. The
DVD video camera/recorder will not perform
“write adjustment” when the DVD video camera/
recorder is turned on again, from off, for recording
with the disc in it, or when no recording is made,
even if the disc is removed and then reinserted.
●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” (P. 127).
Note:
• 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 video recorder: The recorded data
may be damaged.
• DVD-R discs edited and finalized on PC or those finalized
on another DVD video recorder may not be playable on
this DVD video camera/recorder, depending on the
editing software used or recorded status of DVD-R disc.
