Basic Handling of DVD Video Camera/Recorder
TURNING DVD VIDEO CAMERA/RECORDER ON AND OFF
While holding down the red button at the center of
power switch, set the switch according to each
recording function:

During playback, set the power switch to “
VIDEO” or “
PHOTO” when using disc, or set it
to “

Turn the switch while holding down the red button
at the center of switch.
Note:
• Once you turn the DVD video camera/recorder on to let
it recognize the disc, you can immediately record or play
back by turning the DVD video camera/recorder on
again. However, if you remove the disc, replace it, or if the
date changes after power is turned on, it will take some
time for the DVD video camera/recorder to start because
it must recognize the disc again (See page 145).
• It will take some time for the DVD video camera/recorder
to display the Disc Navigation screen after power is
turned on.
• If you turn the DVD video camera/recorder on, the
ACCESS indicator will light or blink to show that the DVD
video camera/recorder is recognizing the disc or card:
During this time, no operation, such as recording, can be
performed.
After several seconds, the ACCESS indicator will go out,
and operating the DVD video camera/recorder will be
possible.
• When the DVD video camera/recorder is turned on, the
self-diagnosis function will work and a message may
appear. In this case, refer to “Trouble Messages” on
page 147 and take corrective action.
• While the ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit
or blinking, do not violently open or close the LCD
monitor.
