Cautions when connecting DVD video camera/
recorder to PC
Use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video camera/recorder when connecting it to 
PC:
The DVD video camera/recorder can also use a battery, but if the DVD video camera/recorder 
cuts off during data transfer, important recordings will be lost: If data is being written to disc, the 
disc will then be unusable.
Do not unplug cables while the HDD/disc in DVD video camera/recorder is being accessed 
from PC:
If the PC connection cable (provided) or mains lead is unplugged while the ACCESS/PC or CARD 
ACCESS indicator is blinking, important recordings will be lost: If data is being written to disc, the 
disc will then be unusable.
Before connecting the DVD video camera/recorder to PC, disconnect any cables other than 
the PC connection cable and AC adapter/charger.
Take care that the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder is not too high when it is 
connected to PC: Use a reference of 30 minutes at approx. 30ºC or less for operation.
If the temperature of the DVD video camera/recorder is too high, writing or reading on the DVD 
video camera/recorder may be faulty. And note that, if an error occurs during writing to a DVD-R, 
the disc will no longer be usable.

make sure that the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder does not get too high.

software.
If the DVD video camera/recorder is connected via USB hub or to a USB port on PC front 
panel or keyboard, the DVD video camera/recorder may not be recognised by PC: If this 
happens, connect the DVD video camera/recorder to a USB port on PC rear panel.
If the DVD video camera/recorder power is off, it cannot be connected to PC.
Do not use PC application to finalise a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded on this DVD video camera/

than that provided with the DVD video camera/recorder, but Hitachi does not guarantee the 
operation.
If the PC is started from suspend (or sleep or standby) with the DVD video camera/recorder 
connected to the PC, the DVD video camera/recorder may not be recognised: Disconnect the
