How to select a DVD disc
•
There are many types of DVD discs but this camcorder uses only the following three
types
of 8 em mini DVD discs: DVD-R, DVD-R DL and DVD-RW. Note that what you
can do with adisc depends on the type
of DVD used so select the disc that best fits
your purpose.
~:~:;~ I ~:~:~~j

3-

l:
~
Best for Recording Time O·
~
Dual-layered discs allow writing up to 80% more data (2.6 GB) on asingle recording
side. However, DVD-R DLs can only be played back on DVD devices compatible with
dual-layered discs. Also, you cannot edit or delete the recordings.
Dual-layered discs have two recording layers. The camcorder
will record
on Layer 1and then continue to Layer 2. During
the playback of arecording spanning both layers, you may
notice abrief stop (about 1second) at the point where the
camcorder switches to the second layer.
Best for Compatibility _
DVD-Rs can be recorded only once -you cannot edit or delete the recordings. On the
other hand, these discs are comparatively cheaper and they can be played back in
most common DVD players.
DVD·R DL
DVD·R
DVD·RW Best for Reusability
Recordings made on aDVD-RW disc can be edited or deleted. Also, the disc can be
initialized1allowing you to use the same disc numerous times.
Disc specification on DVD-RWs
DVD-RW discs can be recorded using either one of two disc specifications:
VIDEO mode or VR mode. When you first insert abrand new DVD-RW disc,
the camcorder will automatically display the initialization screen where you
can select the disc specification for the disc.
VIDEO mode: Once finalized2,discs recorded in VIDEO mode can be played
back in most common DVD players offering the best compatibility. However,
recordings cannot
be edited (deleted, rearranged, etc.).
VR mode: You can easily edit the recordings. However,discs recorded in VR
mode
canonry be played back with DVD players compatible with DVD-RWs
in
VR mode.
Note: DVD-R and DVD-R DL discs can ohly be recorded
in VIDEO mode.

I
Great Advantages of DVDs
Why DVDs are better than tapes
No need to worry about recording over atape.
When you use aDVD, the camcorder witl automatically record on the empty space
of
the disc. So you don't have to worry about mistakenly recording over aprecious
memory.
Just select ascene from the index screen.
You don't need to bother running atape forwards and backwards to find the scene you
want to play back. Simply select ascene from the index screen and start the playback
in abreeze.
Easy Playback on aDVD player
After you finalize the disc you recorded, all you have to do
is just pop it into aDVD
player and start the playback. If you record your disc in
VI DEO mode, you will be able
to play back your disc
on most tabletop DVD players and DVD devices.
Recommended Discs
The camcorder's performance was tested with single-layered discs using
Hitachi-Maxell HG series DVD discs; and with dual-layered discs using
Canon DVD-R DL54 discs and Verbatim DVD-R
DL discs. For further details,
contact directly the manufacturer's customer'support center. Note that
attempting to record or play with this camcorder DVD discs thatwere
recorded, initialized
or finalized with other digital devices can result in
permanently losing the recordings.
Forthe highest compatibility with external DVD devices we recommend
using the VIDEO mode.

1Disc initialization clears all the recordings on the disc and restores the free space on the disc to its
initial value so you can use the same disc again. DVD-R and DVD-R DL discs cannot be initialized.
2Disc finalization is the processing ofthe free space (the unrecorded area) on the disc in order to
make it playable
on external DVD devices (CD 61). To finalize aDVD-R DL disc, the camcorder has
to process both layers. Therefore, and depending
on the amount offree space on the disc, this
process may
be lengthy.
3Playback cannot be guaranteed with all external DVD devices.
4 You will need to unfinalize the disc first.
