Disc Navigation in this DVD video camera/recorder handles information on scenes, such as 
thumbnail, skip, fade, in a particular manner. If you use another device to edit a disc recorded on this 
DVD video camera/recorder, and then use the data again with Disc Navigation in this DVD video 
camera/recorder, the Disc Navigation may not appear normally. If this happens, use the Update 
Control Info function to update the data.

Press the DISC NAVIGATION button.

Press the MENU button.

Use the f/e/d/c/A buttons to 
choose “Update Control Info.” on the “HDD 
Setting” or “DVD Setting” menu screen, and 
then press the A button.

The screen for verifying “Update Control 
Information” will appear.

Choose “YES”, and then 
press the A button.

The message for 
proceeding will appear, 
and then the Disc Navigation menu screen 
will be restored.
A black screen may appear while the message 
for updating is displayed.
Choose “NO” to cancel updating.

• It may take time to update the control information if 

the HDD/disc has many recorded scenes.

• Even if control information is updated, some discs will 

be unusable on Disc Navigation of this DVD video 
camera/recorder.

Executing “Format HDD” in “HDD Setting” to delete data on HDD will only change the file control 
information: It will not delete the data completely. When discarding or transferring this DVD video 
camera/recorder, be sure to delete any personal data on the HDD in order to prevent it from leaking out.

Press the DISC NAVIGATION button, and 
then the MENU button.

Use the f/e/d/c buttons to choose 
“HDD Setting”, “Full Format”, and then press 
the A button: The “HDD Full Format” 
screen will appear.

Choose “YES”, and then press the A button.
The HDD will be completely cleared.
To cancel clear, choose “NO”: The Disc 
Navigation screen will be restored.

• Pressing the C (STOP/EXIT) button during full 

formatting will stop the formatting. Take care, 
however: Even if full formatting stops midway, all data 
on HDD will be deleted.

Before You Begin

• When using the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video camera/

recorder for updating control information, make sure that power is not 
turned off during updating. If the DVD video camera/recorder is turned 
off during updating and the updating is interrupted, the control 
information will not be updated correctly.
