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.

Please note in advance that Hitachi will not accept any liability or make compensation for loss

of data, or direct or indirect damage when recording or playback is not performed normally

due to a fault in this DVD video camera/recorder. This also applies to repairs on this DVD

video camera/recorder (including repair of components other than HDD).

•Hitachi cannot compensate for any damages caused when recording is not made normally or

recorded contents cannot be played back because of a defect in the DVD video camera/

recorder, disc or card. Also, Hitachi cannot be responsible for your recorded video and audio.

•If you or a third party make a mistake when handling this DVD video camera/recorder, disc,

card, etc., the recorded contents may be lost. We cannot be responsible for compensation for

damage due to loss of recorded contents.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) and viewfinder:

•The LCD screen and viewfinder are the products of highly precise technology. Among the total

number of pixels (approx. 120,000 pixels for LCD monitor and equivalent to approx. 200,000 pixels

for viewfinder), 0.01% or less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as colored dots

(red, blue, green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a

fault that will interfere with recording.

•The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly dimmer than usual when the DVD video camera/

recorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately after power is turned on. Normal

brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the DVD video camera/recorder rises.

Hold the DVD video camera/recorder correctly:

•Do not hold the viewfinder or LCD monitor when lifting the DVD video camera/recorder: The

viewfinder or LCD monitor could detach and the DVD video camera/recorder may fall.

•This DVD video camera/recorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it

against a hard object or let it fall.

•When using a tripod, firmly secure the DVD video camera/recorder on it. Do not use the DVD

video camera/recorder with a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe vibrations or impact.

No sand or dust!

•Fine sand or dust entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause

malfunctions or defects.

No water or oil!

•Water or oil entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause electric

shock, malfunctions or defects.

Heat on surface of product:

•The surfaces of the DVD video camera/recorder, AC adapter/charger and battery will be slightly

warm, but this does not indicate a fault.

Screen on connected TV:

•Never leave the Disc Navigation screen, still image or camera image displayed on your TV to

which the DVD video camera/recorder is connected: Doing so could result in displayed image

retention or phosphor degradation of TV screen.

Be careful of ambient temperature:

•If the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder is too high or too low, normal recording/

playback may not be possible.

•Take care that the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder, when connected to PC does

not rise excessively (reference for usage: approx. 30 minutes at about 86ºF (30ºC).

•Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder on beach sand or in a closed vehicle where the

temperature is very high for a long time: This could cause malfunctions.

Do not point directly at the sun:

•If direct sunlight strikes the lens or viewfinder, the DVD video camera/recorder could malfunction

or a fire could occur.

•Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight: This

could cause malfunctions.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near TV or radio:

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near corrosive gas:

•If the DVD video camera/recorder is used in a place where there is dense exhaust gas generated

by gasoline or diesel engine, corrosive gas such as hydrogen sulfide, or sulfur such as in a hot

spring area, the external or internal terminals could corrode, which would disable normal

operation, or the battery connecting terminals could corrode, so power will not turn on.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near ultrasonic humidifier:

•With some water in humidifier, calcium and other chemicals dissolved in water could scatter in the

air, and white particles could adhere to the optical head of the DVD video camera/recorder, which

could cause it to operate abnormally.

Do not expose the DVD video camera/recorder to insecticide:

•Insecticide entering the DVD video camera/recorder could dirty the lens in laser pickup block for

DVD, and in such a case the DVD video camera/recorder might not operate normally. Turn the

DVD video camera/recorder off and cover it with vinyl sheet, etc. before using insecticide.

Do not use a generally available 8 cm CD lens cleaner:

•Cleaning the DVD lens is not necessary when using this DVD video camera/recorder in the usual

way.

•Using 8 cm CD lens cleaner could cause this DVD video camera/recorder to be faulty.

•If you have to clean the lens, use a Hitachi Maxell cleaner that is exclusively for 8 cm DVD discs.

Be careful of moisture condensation:

•When you move the DVD video camera/recorder between places where the difference in

temperatures is great – such as entering a lodge from a ski slope or going out of a cooled room or

vehicle – condensation (vapor in air warmed or cooled to water droplets) could occur on the lens

and/or inside the DVD video camera/recorder. If condensation occurs, do not open the cover of

disc or card insertion block if possible. If condensation occurs on the lens, wipe it off with a soft,

dry cloth. Even if the external surface of DVD video camera/recorder has dried, condensation may

remain inside: Turn the DVD video camera/recorder off and leave it in a dry place for at least 1 – 2

hours before using it again.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder for a long uninterrupted period of time:

•This DVD video camera/recorder cannot be used for a long time continuously as a surveillance

camera/monitor. If you use it for a long continuous period of time, the temperature of DVD video

camera/recorder could exceed the limit and the recording/playback operation may slow down or

other faults could occur. If this happens, turn it off and wait for a while before using it again.

Do not turn the DVD video camera/recorder off while the ACCESS/PC indicator or

CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or blinking:

•The ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or

blinking to show that data is being written to disc or card,

or being read from it. At this time, do not do any of the

following, so as not to damage the data:

−Remove battery

of the owner of copyright, except for personal enjoyment. Be aware that recording is restricted for

some demonstrations, performances and exhibitions, even for personal enjoyment.

CLEANING

Be sure to set the power switch to “OFF” before cleaning this DVD video camera/recorder.

●Cleaning LCD screen and camera

lens

Use dry, soft cloth to wipe dirt off. When

cleaning the LCD screen, be careful not to use

force, scratch it, or subject it to impact: Doing

such could cause a defect in the screen, result in

display unevenness, or damage the LCD

monitor.

●If dust adheres to the viewfinder

lens, remove it using a cotton

swab, etc.

Do not rub the lens with force: Doing so could

scratch the lens.

●Cleaning DVD Video Camera/

Recorder Case

Do not wipe the DVD video camera/recorder

case hard with any foreign object, such as grit,

adhering to it, and do not use rough fabrics to

clean the case: Doing so could scratch it.

Use soft cloth, etc. to gently wipe dirt off the case.

●Do not use benzene or thinner to

clean DVD video camera/recorder

case

The coating of case could peel off or the case

could deteriorate. Wipe off dirt on the case with

a soft cloth which has been completely wrung

out. When using chemical cleaning cloth, follow

instructions for use.

HANDLING DISCS

●Using discs

Discs are very delicate recording media.

Carefully read the following cautions and

observe them:

•Always use a brand new disc when recording

important material.

•Be sure not to touch the recording surface of

disc, or dirty or scratch it.

•If there is dust, scratch, dirt on disc or if it is

warped, the following phenomena may occur:

−Block noise in playback

image

−Momentary stop of

playback image

−Sound interrupted during

playback, or abnormal

sound

−Blue thumbnail

display* (Fig. 1)

−Disc cannot correctly

be recognized

−Disc cannot be

initialized

−Delay between video

and audio

Even if disc is normal, the above phenomena

may occasionally occur. While the ACCESS/

PC indicator is lit, do not subject disc to

vibrations or impact, and avoid using DVD

video camera/recorder at extremely high or

low temperatures, or in environment where

condensation is likely to occur.

•When recording images,

the DVD video camera/

recorder may avoid the

portions of disc where

recording is not possible,

due to dust, scratches,

etc. [It will pause mat

such a portion and

automatically restart

recording (n).]

This will cause recording to be interrupted for

several seconds to several minutes, and

multiple thumbnails will be created by one

recording session as shown above. In this case,

the recordable time on disc will decrease.

•Be careful when removing the disc since the

metal of removal slot of DVD video camera/

recorder, and disc itself, may be hot.

●Storing discs

•When storing disc, replace it in the plastic case

in which it was purchased.

•Be careful that no condensation occurs on disc.

•Do not place disc in following places:

−Direct sunlight for a long time

−Where humidity is high or in dusty place

−Where there is heat from a heater, etc.
