Hitachi dz-mv200a Owner's Manual

English

Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with
care:
• The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do

not press its surface with any force, hit it, or
puncture it with a sharp object.

• If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in the

display may occur. If unevenness does not dis-
appear soon, turn the DVD video camera/re-
corder off, wait for a while, 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.

• Do not hold by the LCD monitor as this could

cause a malfunction.

• Open the LCD monitor by 90° before changing

its direction. If you attempt to invert its direc-
tion before opening it completely, it could cause
a malfunction.

• Do not disassemble the LCD monitor as this

might cause a malfunction.

• When opening the LCD monitor, be careful that

no water droplets adhere to the monitor screen
and that no water or dust enters the DVD video
camera/recorder as it could cause a malfunction.

Liquid Crystal Display and viewfinder:
• The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly

dimmer than usual when the DVD video cam-
era/recorder is at low temperature, as in cold
areas, or immediately after power is turned on.
The normal brightness will be restored when the
temperature inside the DVD video camera/re-
corder 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 may become
detached and the DVD video camera/recorder
could fall.

Do not subject the DVD video camera/
recorder to impact:
• This DVD video camera/recorder is a precision

machine: Take great care that you do not strike
it against a hard object or allow it to fall.

• Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder on

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 cam-

era/recorder or AC adapter could cause it to
malfunction.

No water or oil!
• Water or oil entering the DVD video camera/

recorder or AC adapter could cause a short-cir-
cuit or other malfunctions.

Heat on surface of product:
• The surface of the DVD video camera/recorder

will be slightly warm, but this does not indicate
a fault. Be careful when touching the bottom of
the DVD video camera/recorder, since it will be
hot.

Be careful of ambient temperature:
• Using the DVD video camera/recorder in a place

where the temperature is over 104 °F (40 °C) or
under 32 °F (0 °C) will not allow it to make nor-
mal recording/playback.

• When using the DVD video camera/recorder

connected to PC, operate it at room temperature.
If you use the DVD video camera/recorder
where the temperature is high for an extended
period of time, it will overheat and may not op-
erate normally.

• Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder

in a closed vehicle where the temperature is very
high for a long time: This could cause malfunc-
tions.

Do not point directly at the sun:
• If direct sunlight strikes the lens or viewfinder,

the DVD video camera/recorder could malfunc-
tion or burn in CCD or viewfinder.

• Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder

with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight:
This could cause malfunctions.
