Cautions on HDD
Save the data recorded on HDD:
•
To back up the data recorded on HDD, save it on a DVD. It is also recommended that you use this
DVD video camera/recorder to dub the data. You can also use a PC to save the data on a DVD.
•
It is recommended that you periodically save your recordings.
Do not subject the DVD video camera/recorder to any vibrations or impact:
•
This could result in the HDD not being recognized or recording, playback or dubbing to become
impossible.
•
Do not subject this DVD video camera/recorder to any vibrations or impact especially during
recording, playback or dubbing, or while the ACCESS/PC indicator is lit or blinking.
•
If vibrations to this DVD video camera/recorder are repeated, or the drop status of DVD video
camera/recorder is detected (see page 69), recording, playback or dubbing will stop to protect the
HDD in this DVD video camera/recorder.
Carefully check the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder:
•
If the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder is too high or too low, normal recording or
playback may not be possible.
•
If the power switch is set to “HDD” with the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder too
high or too low, message “The temperature of HDD is outside the operating temperature range.
Turn off power.” may appear to protect the HDD. Even if this happens, setting the power switch to
“DVD” may allow you to use the DVD video camera/recorder with a DVD, so it is recommended
that you carry a spare DVD even if you intend to record on the HDD.
This DVD video camera/recorder cannot be used at high altitude:
•
Note that the DVD video camera/recorder cannot be used in a place where the atmospheric
pressure is low, such as 3,000 meters or more above sea-level.
Do not place this DVD video camera/recorder near a magnet or magnetic field:
•
If you so, recording, playback or dubbing may not be possible.
Cautions When Using
Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:
•
The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with
a sharp object.
•
If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear
soon, turn the DVD video camera/recorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.
•
Do not place the DVD video camera/recorder with the open LCD screen down.
•
Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD video camera/recorder.
