4. Insert the DVD-RAM disc cartridge into
the disc guide, so that the side of disc
you want to record faces the hand strap
(see p.37), with the disc shutter towards
the video lens.
The cartridge will stop once midway: Firmly push
it in until it stops.
Caution:
• The DVD-RAM disc has an orientation: If it is forcibly inserted from the wrong direction, the DVD
camcorder or cartridge could be damaged.
