Hitachi DZ-BX31A User Manual

English

• See “Check 1” on page 169 when recording movie is 

not possible.

• See “Check 4” on page 169 if it takes some time 

before recording is possible.

• See “Check 5” on page 170 if the DVD video camera/

recorder does not operate.

• See page 53 for on-screen information display.
• It is recommended that you use DVD-RAM disc from 

which recorded contents can be deleted.

• Sound is recorded from the stereo microphone on the 

front of DVD video camera/recorder: Take care that 
this microphone is not blocked.

• After a pause during recording, no further recording 

will be possible while “DISC ACCESS” is being 
displayed.
Recording will restart after the message disappears.

• Do not remove the battery or AC adapter/charger 

during recording: Doing so will usually result in 
incomplete recording, which could damage the data 
(see pages 7 and 171).

• Do not remove the battery or AC adapter/charger 

after pausing during recording, while message “DISC 
ACCESS” is being displayed, or while the ACCESS/
PC indicator is lit or blinking (see pages 7 and 171).

• The minimum recordable time of movie is 

approximately 3 seconds.

• See page 104 for setting of Record LED (recording 

indicator) On/Off.

• For various functions available during recording, see 

“Setting Up Camera Functions” on page 89.

• Hitachi cannot be responsible for video and audio that 

cannot be recorded or edited because of any defect.

• The power switch can be changed over even during 

recording, but the operation will not be changed.

• It is recommended that you set the LOCK switch to L 

(the upper position) to prevent the power switch in the 
“O” position from accidentally moving to “N” position.

• Each time the DVD video camera/recorder enters the 

recording pause status, the counter display will be 
reset to “0:00:00”.

• Do not insert a non-finalized DVD-RW (VF-mode)/

DVD-R disc into another DVD device: Doing so could 
cause the disc to become unusable (except in the 
case of the devices that have a function that can play 
back a disc that has not been finalized on this DVD 
video camera/recorder).

• Do not insert a DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R recorded 

on a DVD recorder manufactured by a company other 
than Hitachi, and not finalized, in this DVD video 
camera/recorder: Doing so will make the disc 
unusable.

• When using an unformatted DVD-RW/DVD-R disc, it 

is necessary to format it on this DVD video camera/
recorder (see page 47).
