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:
13:00]
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.

of
a disc.
Place the

Recording is made on the rear side.
• When using a double-sided disc, take care not to
smudge the surface with fingerprints.
• When a double-sided disc

on that side only. You cannot switch to record
on orplay back the other side with the disc set to
the camcorder. When recording/playback

over to access the other side.
• Perform the following operations on each side
of
a double-sided disc:
- Finalizing (p. 67)
