  You can use 8cm DVD-Rs, 8cm DVD-
RWs and 8cm DVD+RWs only. Use the 
discs with marks listed below.
  For reliability and durability of recording 
/playback, we recommend that you use 
Sony discs or discs with the 
 
*
 
“for VIDEO CAMERA” mark for your 
DVD Handycam. Using a disc other 
than above may cause unsatisfactory 
recording/playback or you may not be 
able to remove the disc from your DVD 
Handycam.
*  Depending on the place you bought, the disc 
has the 
 mark.
Notes on 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 
the cleaning cloth supplied with your 
camcorder. 
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:

] 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.
About the disc
Care and storage of the discs
  Keep the disc clean, or the quality of the 
audio and video output may deteriorate.
  Clean the disc with the supplied cleaning 
cloth. 
Wipe the disc from the center out. For 
dirt, clean the disc with a soft cloth 
slightly moistened in water, then remove 
the moisture with a soft, dry cloth. Do 
not use solvents such as benzine, cleaners 
intended for vinyl LPs or antistatic splay, 
as they may cause a malfunction to the 
disc.
  Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight 
or leave it in a humid place.
  When you carry or store the disc, put it in 
its case.
  When you want to write letters or marks, 
etc. on a single sided disc, write only on 
the printed side using an oil-based marker 
with a felt-tip, and do not touch the ink 
until it dries. Do not heat the disc or use a 
sharp-pointed tool, such as ball point pen. 
Do not dry the surface by heating. You 
cannot write on, or mark, on the double-
sided discs.
