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.
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
• Use only DZ-HS500A 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-HS500A 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.
