Maintenance and precautions
See page 12 for the details of discs
which you can use with your
camcorder.
Notes on use
Hold the disc by its edge while supporting
the center hole lightly. Do not touch the
recording side (the opposite of the printed
side when using a single-sided disc).
• Before shooting, be sure to remove dust
and fingerprints from the disc with a soft
cloth. Otherwise you may not be able to
record or play normally in some situations
using that disc.
• When you set the disc in your camcorder,
press firmly until it clicks. When the
message [C:13:ss] appears on the LCD
screen, open the disc cover and set the
disc again.
• Do not attach any adhesive material such
as a sticker on the surface of a disc. If you
do so, the disc may become unbalanced,
and this may cause a malfunction of the
disc or your camcorder.
Use of double-sided discs
Double-sided discs allow you to record
both sides of a disc.
x Recording on the A side
Place the disc in your camcorder with the side
with the symbol at the center facing
outwards until it clicks.
When using a double-sided disc, take care
not to smudge the surface with
fingerprints.
When a double-sided disc is used in your
camcorder, recording/playback are
performed on that side only. You cannot
switch to record on or play back the other
side with the disc set to the camcorder.
When recording/playback of one side is
complete, remove the disc and turn it over
to access the other side.
Perform the following operations on each
side of a double-sided disc:
