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 power cable 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 or camera
accessories (external video flash, external microphone, etc.) other than the PC connection
cable and AC adapter/charger.
Use a reference of approx. 30 minutes at approx. 86ºF (30°C) or less for operation when
connecting the DVD video camera/recorder to PC.
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.
Take care that the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder is not too high.
Fade, skip or thumbnails set on the DVD video camera/recorder will not be reflected in the
provided 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 recognized 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 finalize a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded on this DVD video camera/
recorder: Doing so will make the disc unusable.
Data may be readable or writable from/to the DVD video camera/recorder using software other
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 recognized: Disconnect the
DVD video camera/recorder from PC once, and restart the PC.
Multiple DVD video camera/recorders cannot be simultaneously connected to PC.
DVD discs created on the software provided with this DVD video camera/recorder can be
played on DVD recorders/players, etc. that conform to each individual disc, but playback on
all devices is not guaranteed. They may not be playable, depending on the playback device
and/or disc recorded status.
